i would recommend an ex.room for space end front view after seeing into the smaller rooms.the staff also were very good and helpful,the manager was very kind as well as we were both in our mid eightys. The elevator is very small but then the building is very old but in great condition.overall i would recommend chestrhouse hotel for its position on the front with the shors on street just behind hotel.

Terrible beds, hot, noisy, old.

I stay in hotels 2 or 3 times a month and this is one of the worst in terms of comfort. The room at the rear had a window opening onto a tiny filthy courtyard full of pigeons and their mess. The bed is quoted as being a double but absolutely tiny. The mattress was horrific. You could feel every spring and it actually bottomed out when you lay on it. The bathroom fan sounded like a truck engine. The basin drain was virtually blocked. The edge of the carpet was stuck down with a bead of expanding foam. Room is very hot with no air conditioning or even a desk fan. Woken at 6am every morning by bins being pushed around and deliveries outside. Breakfast was good. But the dinner looked poor so are elsewhere. I don't know who in their right mind is rating this hotel as "good" or "excellent" as it's far from it! Much updating of rooms is required!

Lovely hotel

The hotel was lovely for me, hubby and our two young children. Staff were brilliant with helping sort little things with the children. The hotel was quite, clean and the room we was in 210 was perfect for a family. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was brilliant! Plenty of fresh food being brought out, hot and very well cooked.

Very close to shops and amenities. Great location for sea terminal. Parking can be tricky (not the hotel’s fault mind you) so be prepared to have to walk to your car if you have one.

Service: sehr gut, Zimmerausstattung: ungenügend

Der Service und das Essen im Hotel ist sehr gut. Schlecht ist, dass die Zimmer ein zu schmales Bett haben, nur eine Zudecke haben und nicht trennbar sind.

Typical 3 star British Hotel

This is a fairly typical 3 star hotel in a nice position on the sea front. We had two rooms one had a nice bathroom and the other a small and less than well maintained shower area so I'm generalising in my comments. They have done quite a bit of work to the rooms in recent years and generally are fine, but as I mentioned one of our bathrooms was in need of some TLC. Good value though and our deal included breakfast. This hotel is clearly targeted at retired people.

Not a good night

Excellent service on check-in, good facilities, great location. Awful bed, thin walls and a vent right outside my bedroom window that woke me up early in the morning. Wouldn't stay again.

Near ferry terminal. Aging hotel, noisy.

The hotel is a typical aging 3 star hotel. Only a leisurely ten minute walk from the ferry terminal, right on the promenade, in a good location for both local shops and restaurants. Unfortunately I didn't sleep much as there was a lot of noise from a local bar until about 2am, and some kind of air con unit near the window which made a lot of noise. Then from around 5am there was a lot of noise in the corridor. The staff in the hotel restaurant tried to be helpful but some of their English wasn't very good. The carvery was OK, although it wasn't really clear when it opened, how much it was etc as there ws no information in the room and reception weren't sure how much it was. Overall though, i thought it was reasonable value for a one night stay.

Great location - not very comfortable

The Chesterhouse Hotel is in a fantastic location on the Loch Promenade. The hotel has character, and is fairly clean. The age of the hotel makes it interesting, but not comfortable! The 'double' bed was tiny, especially for two fairly large people. The bathroom was the size of a closet. The hallways were convoluted and very tight for two people to pass each other. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful, while others were not.
