This hotel is an embarrassment to the Scottish Hotel Industry. From the battered and scratched front door to the lingering odour as we entered, to the rust stained window frames, the initial experience was challenging. Just because a place is relatively cheap that is no excuse for at best extremely poor property maintenance. We paid upgrades for a sea-view -... More

A had a very enjoyable stay at the Regent, the staff were without exception very helpful and friendly, my room was simple, comfortable and great value for money. The hotel has the perfect seafront location and the views from the bedroom of the sea and the islands beyond was spectacular. In particular I'd like to thank Mary for fantastic service... More

Stayed at the Regent recently and it was spot on, the rooms and the decor are all really fresh and well kept and the staff were all excellent, what more do you need! The food was also very good, we only ate there one night but there was plenty choice on the menu so we will be back!

My wife and I spent two nights DBB at the Regent recently. The hotel is undergoing refurb which is making a huge improvement to the overall appearance and comfort of the place (we stayed here about 10 years ago and it was in desperate need of some TLC then). Without exception, all of the staff that we had contact with... More

We stayed for one night en route via the ferries to the Isles. A once-splendid Art Deco hotel, it badly needs a revamp. However, our room was only £35 B&B for two. We slept well and the sheets were crisp and clean. We had asked for, and were given, a room near the lift for disabled access. Cooked Breakfast was... More
