Reviews

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay. The hotel was cosy & comfortable, the staff were very friendly & accommodating. You had to go to their sister hotel The Ferry Boat Inn which is just over the road for breakfast. What a fabulous place for food! You get a continental breakfast with your room but can upgrade to a cooked 6(extra pennies but well worth it) Everything cooked fresh, the food was so good we ate there the 2 evenings we stayed. Again staff there so friendly and obliging. Wouldn't hesitate to go back to both The Argyll Hotel & The Ferry Boat Inn.

In room 11 we had the most stunning outlook. We were made to feel very welcome and our Scottie dog too. The only thing we were sad about was no cooked breakfast available before we left because of short staffing but it’s the same all up and down the country in hospitality. (We cheered ourselves up with a lovely cooked one at The Pieron way home) I blame Brexit 100%. Ullapool is very beautiful, always has been but with their new front work improvements makes it so much more lovely. Thank you for our lovely stay 😊

The hotel and facilities are very old and it shows. A lot of it smells of cigarette smoke from days gone by.The location is an ideal place to stay of you want to catch the morning ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway.Our room was generally pretty clean; however there were a lot of stains on the upholstered chairs. We had a wonderful view of the harbour and surrounds.The staff are very helpful and the food was nicely prepared.

We were here in peak season so rooms were expensive (but they were everywhere). Our room were a bit dated and run down but made up for this with fabulous views of the harbour, comfy bed and Netflix/streaming services. House keeping could improve, ie. No tea, very little milk, soap dispenser in shower empty but again, this was countered by a lovely pub downstairs with a great atmosphere.

Staff above and beyond

We booked this as the website I consulted didn’t have much choice. Just before arriving we checked reviews online and they were very poor, so we were apprehensive. This is unfair - the room was clean, the bed large and comfy, great view, not bad bathroom, armchairs, hot drinks etc. Cheerful service at continental breakfast provided in hotel across the road though we’d been told there wouldn’t be any, so that was a bonus. Hall and entry a bit dingy and this is a pub with rooms rather than a hotel, but as long as you know that, it’s fine. Easy for the ferry to Stornaway too which was why we were there.

Great view of harbor from room. Very close to everything. The room was comfortable and excellent bed.A little touch up with paint to stair well and bathroom ceiling would’ve made it perfect, but I’m being picky. Really friendly staff too.

A lovely hotel with fabulous views. The staff couldn’t do enough for us especially Connor.

Stayed overnight … our room looked out over Ullapool harbour which was a fabulous view, food was served at sister hotel across the road … however it was worth the ‘effort’ as the food was excellent.. as were the staff. Would stay here again.

After hiking and wildcamping on Skye and Lewis this was the perfect stay! Comfy bed, huge clean room with a great view, a bathtub... The food in the pub was fantastic and the guy who was in charge at the reception, the bar and the restaurant did an amazing job. Gute the man a raise!

No issues

Delightful view over the harbour to Loch Broom.Room 6 was roomy and comfortable.Staff friendly and approachable.No problem with noise mid week when we stayed.Live band in lounge one night - excellent.Hotel needs some tlc especially outdoor area which could look lovely.Free continental breakfast in Ferry Hotel opposite which they also own - was a wee bonus.A bit expensive or the room but accommodation is scarce with NC500 nearby.Not a lot of bikes in the town.Lovely area around and good base for outdoor pursuits - just lovely when sun is out.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but clean, tidy and comfy with a great view of Ullapool bay. The food was good value as well. Overall a simple and affordable hotel that provides good value for money.

We were made very welcome and had fantastic views of the sea front from our room. Safe off road parking at the rear.Loved it!

Rooms extremely dated and could do with a splash of paint. TV wasn't tuned in so couldn't use and the toilet seat was broken BUT staff more than made up for this. The gentleman who was running the bar was really friendly and helpful. Couldn't do enough for you. Food was tremendous and the entertainment spot on. Would I stay again. Yes.

Staff members were so friendly and helpfulFood was just amazingRoom was tidy and clean beds great accommodation

Lovely view from room overlooking harbour. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely evening meal (Mac n cheese). Nice temperature in room. Even our dog slept well with no whining and restlessness as her usual.

Great hotel with friendly people huge room overlooking the loch

Ullapool has the feel of an old fashioned fishing village.Most hotels are smaller and very quaint.The Argyll would fit this description.We love this type of hotel.If you are looking for a Marriott, this probably isn't your type of place.Our room had a nice king size bed and a little sitting area.Very comfortable.Overlooked the harbor so a nice view.We had dinner one night in the bar and the food was excellent.My fish & chips were very good and reasonably priced - in line with most restuarants.For Breakfast, we did have to go to a sister hotel down the street.I always notice that some people get upset with this.For us, we simply walked about 75 hards to the Ferry Boat Inn and they took care of us.Nice breakfast choices (we had pre-paid to have breakfast included).We loved the bar but be aware that the bar is a "go to" spot for the locals.We loved the energy but on the weekends, it can be a bit loud, especially on a nice night as people congregate outside.But we were ok with that. The Rugby world cup was going on so this was a good location to watch the match and enjoy the spirited rooting by the locals.Some may not want that so keep it in mind if you need a quiet night on a Fri or Sat night, this might not be the place for you.Staff:The staff overseeing the hotel are younger but did a nice job.Logan, Lee, and I think Connor (or Connel) were very friendly and happy to help us as needed.Parking on a back lot behind the hotel or in the street.Great location for walking around town.We really enjoyed our stay based on what we like in accomodations, the ambience, and the staff.

Friendly welcome. Very well appointed, comfortable room. Would stay again.

Car broke down when in Ullapool, phoned and managed to get a room for 1 night, guy at reception couldn’t be more helpful, coming back again I would definitely stay here.

Room was nice and staff friendlyBut a little close to the pub below early hours before I could sleep

Had a very pleasant stay at the hotel, thefood was good and the atmosphere was also good, staff were also very pleasant would definitely stay here again.

We enjoined our time in this hotel

First off I had not been given the impression that this was a turn key hotel.The stairs and hallway were smashed up and gloomy and the room and facilities were not very clean or functional.The only people that we saw there was when the bar opened and a good proportion of the heavy and rowdy drinkers of Ullapool sang and shouted their way through the evening and into the early hours of the morning which does not help you to sleep or even feel secure. In the morning a rather disinterested lady arrived about 8am and asked me if we wanted breakfast there. That was an emphatic no.If you are paying in the region of £130.00 a night for hotel accommodation you expect a good deal more than the Argyll is prepared to offer.The star rating options below this message are not working. The only one available is 5 star so no star rating.

Stayed one night and the hotel and room was pleasant and clean. The bar got busy whilst food being served which was ok but nothing exceptional. Parking good, views from hotel bedroom window were amazing and all staff very friendly. Would happily stay again. Thanks and good luck for the future.

Hotel was very welcoming .pleasant staffGood entertainment and atmosphereWould stay here again .thankyou for a lovely stay

Friendly helpful staff, nice food and a comfortable place to sleep

The hotel was in a convenient location with a fabulous view from our room. The room was clean and well presented but a touch shabby round the edges.

Lovely rooms , great location and view

Loved Ullapool Beautifull village and harbourAryll Hotel small but very accommodating Manager who has just taken over the hotel was very helpful with where to eat close by Spent a late night in the lounge with the local folk band and the footy clubOur room overlooked the harbour with a cruise ship sailing in - scenery so good

Hôtel publicity is fraudulent. Rooms are filthy, carpets stained and emplacement on a depleted street. As we got to the hotel, we were refused cancellation and referred to a Mail address. Never got a reply to my mails requesting a refund.Hotel to be scratched from all sites of on line booking.ZERO STARS

Clean, central, convenient, good with our old dog.

It's not surprising that stay in Ullapool is always a good idea. But Argyll adds some plus: the efficency of the personnel, the relaxing dinner at pub, the breakfast as a good morning star.Only the room could be a little more spacious, but is a minor point.

Whilst our room was fairly basic, there was everything we needed; comfy beds, bath/shower, TV, coffee & tea facilities etc. The room would just benefit from redecorating and then it would be great.However, the jewel was the food and the atmosphere! Excellent food and a friendly lively bar frequented by locals as we as guests. Most evenings have some kind of entertainment/activities when we were there it was quiz night we were immediately invited to take part and it was a lovely fun evening.Looking for somewhere to stay in Ullapool then I would definitely recommend checking out the Argyll Hotel

Managed to get parked right outside main door, so a big bonus. Good and easy welcome at reception, lovely bar/restaurant with great staff and our evening meal was perfect. A quiz night in the bar too, but our brains were not working to well, so bowed out and had an early night. Had an easy/friendly atmosphere about the whole place, which is really great. Room was comfy, with all required...no wardrobes if you're into that sort of furniture, just open hook/hanging, which is better as folks do tend to 'go blind' and leave stuff when there are wardrobes with 'closed doors'...well done, good one guys-keep it nice but simple.Though we had a slight problem with the shower drain not clearing properly, my quick fix of 'foot/facecloth plunge' sorted that out. Loved this place and would recommend.

Very engaged stuff! Had a great time at Argyll, nice bar on the ground floor with many young people coming around for grabbing a drink, however, one doesn’t hear noise from the bar in the hotel rooms:) stunning view from the hotel rooms to loch broom!

Clean and tidy slept well would stay again

great hotel with wonderful service, huge & beautiful room overlooking the harbour

We made it late to the hotel therefore we were not able to eat dinner there. But there was one open restaurant nearby. We wish we were given better details of the hotel - no elevator and the parking is in the rear. Other than that, the views were beautiful and the staff was super kind. There was a lot of noise late into the night because of the bar.

This was an overnight on the NC500. The Hotel appeared to be in the middle of some updates during our stay, but had no impact to our comfort. We landed a room with a superb view of the harbor and other than the initial musty smell of the room, we were quite content. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet outside of the lads in the street after the bars closed.The staff were friendly and breakfast service was nice with good food. Parking is off the street and easy to access.

The hotel is located one street up from the main Shore Street, so out of the hustle, bustle and parking issues there, but still very, very close to all the bars and restaurants. The room, although on the small side, is good value for money and impeccably clean.

Located not far from the centre of Ullapool (3min walk), easy access to the hotel car park. Spacious and bright room with a comfortable bed. Friendly service and good Scottish breakfast.

Hotel au dessus d'un pub. Très bien pour un court séjour.Nous avons pu écouter de la musique live, c'était très typique et sympathique.Nos chambres au deuxième étage (8 et 14) étaient très confortables et jouissaient d'une vue formidable sur le loch et le port.

This small hotel was the only one free when we booked. It is rather dark and decor is dingy. The building is in need of a bit of tlc. Having said that it was spotlessly clean, the large bed was very comfortable and the staff were pleasant. The evening meal was excellent and the breakfast good though a very limited menu. The electric shower was very poor. Private parking was convenient and close, in a town where it can be difficult. All in all a ‘tired’ wee hotel but worthy of 3 stars. In the future I would look elsewhere but be happy to use it if that was all that was available.

Staff very friendly and obliging.Bar pleasant and food tasty.Room excellent with brilliant view over harbour.

Just great. Highly recommend it. Food is fantastic.

Beautiful room, stunning harbour views,clean & spacious,(room 8). Breakfast was especially good, with a tasty veggie option. The Lady serving was very courteous and helpful.

I was very comforatble in my room and had a good supper in the pub while locals sang to their guitars. The bartender was friendly and helped my find out abut things to do. The locaton gave me a great view. I would happily stay there again.

Quite a nice stay overnight at Ullapool prior to our ferry the next day. Check in was painless. Room clean and tidy, and with a fantastic view of the Loch and boats. Parking was behind the hotel and with plenty of secure space. Though being a Friday, it was a noisy late evening for patrons at the bar downstairs.Room had a nice decor...dark, and purple.Would love to stay again if we come back to Ullaool to stay.

Ideal for night before ferry crossing. Helpful staff ; quiet clean and comfortable room

We stayed as a group of four for two nights and really enjoyed our stay.The Argyll was friendly welcoming with good staff and our rooms were clean and cosy.Breakfast was tasty and well cooked with plentiful fresh fruit juices etc.The rooms were clean with wonderful views across the Loch which was a fabulous bonus.All in all, the Argyll doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not, and is all the better for it.

We stayed 3 nights and found the Argyll a very friendly place to stay. There was live music one night, which was great!Comfortable bed and good breakfast.

The team at the Argyll Hotel and the Ferry Boat in were helpful and responsive when I unexpectedly needed 6 rooms at the last minute. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the door and the check-in process, though our group was split across two hotels, was quick and seamless. The food was excellent (both dinner and breakfast) and the service was outstanding. Some of our group even participated in the quiz night that happened to take place on the night of our arrival. The friendly local welcome as a highlight for them. Excellent stay, excellent value.

The staff were very helpful, couldn’t do enough. Lovely views.

Breakfast very nice. Busy bar comfortabl though rooms are process of redecoration s cons room as very comfortable. Lovely views from windows

Very Noisy but nice Scottish! Could you help us? We forgot a eye mask, could you send us it via air mail? Please let us know! Thank you!

Perfect place for our overnight in Ullapool! The food was delicious and the company in the pub was spectacular!

Dated rooms but had everything needed for a comfy night. Friendly staff great breakfastpeaceful location.

The staff were very welcoming and really do seem to care about service. Other customers were coming in and even though they were fully booked went over and above to find them accommodation at other establishments. Dinner was a simple menu but adequate and they pour a great Guinness. I would bring est plugs if you don’t want to listen to the screaming punters sitting out front of house till 2am though. All in all a great stay and great location in town

The room had a wonderful view along Loch Broom to the mountains.It was clean and comfortable, with a small but well-designed en-suite. Just what I needed for a one night stay.I didn’t have any complaints, but creaking floors and limited sound-proofing might annoy.

We had a lovely time here and wished we’d organised a longer stay. We had a lovely room with stunning views. The food was very good, we had dinner in the bar and breakfast. Thestaff were friendly and helpful.

I showed up in the low season at the last minute since my ferry was cancelled. Nigel was very accommodating, the room was very comfortable, the pub was cosy and the food, both dinner and breakfast, were very good. I would certainly recommend it.

Me and my family had a lovely weekend.hotel was really interesting and different from others hotels I ever visited. But not in bad way.i really liked that feeling that I'm not in hotel but somewhere at friends house.view thruogh the room window was incredible. Hotel located in very good place,not on the main street but really close to center.looking forward to come again in the future

FriendlyNice Bar and foodGreat BreakfastRoom a bit small, but a good view over Loch Broom

Well situated, traditional Hotel and bar. Cosy room (I was there in November), well used local bar downstairs. Friendly, and it has it's own car park, a, bit of a bonus.

Really enjoyedour stay. Room was lovely, clean, spacious and with a wonderful view. Staff were all really friendly. We had an evening meal in the bar and was great. Really nice atmosphere in the bar, warm coal fire and good music. Breakfast was great too, traditional Scottish breakfast, really nice.will definitely be staying here again in the near future.

We had a great stay at the Argyll Hotel.The room was comfortable with fantastic views over the loch. The food was good and the service excellent from friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

We were puzzled by some of the negative reviews we have read about the Argyll. We found it very satisfactory. The second floor room was clean and comfy and had a lovely view over the loch. The evening meal was good as was breakfast. No complaints and would be happy to recommend the Argyll.

Super overnight stay at the Argyll Hotel.Bar food really good - especially the Cullen Skink, Fabulous!Fun, friendly and buzzing atmosphere in the bar too.People chatting to each other over tables - it felt "normal".Comfy beds and great views over sunny Loch Broom made the end of our holiday a real joy.We'll be back.

Great place to stay. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

This is basically a pub with rooms. We stayed one night and had a room on the 2nd floor with a wonderful view of the harbour. We got some great pictures from our room of the moon shining across the bay. Staff were very welcoming and helped carry our bags to the room. Dinner was good with a fine choice of beers.

Noisy, dirty and poor value. Stayed one night before ferry to Stornoway. Public bar under rooms, massively noisy til 2am. Rooms old and whole place not very clean. All for 140 quid a night. Joke.

The staff is lovely and very helpful. We had a lovely meal and the room had a stunning view of the sea.We had a lovely time and we shall be back,with our dog who felt very welcome and enjoyed her stay too

We had a great stay. Originally booked at The Ferry Boat but after talking to Nigel we managed to swap to the Argyll with stunning views over Loch Broom. The weather was kind so that was a bonus.The room was clean and included bottled water as well as the usual tea/coffee/milk. We had a large en suite bathroom, not just a small shower room.Staff were all very pleasant and the food was good.We’d definitely recommend this hotel if you’re visiting the area.

The room was excellent, spacious with brilliant views up the loch and the mountains.

We have stayed here many times and love the location and atmosphere.Friendly staff and good room facilities.Very good breakfast.

The hotel is looking a little tired, but we weren’t after a sleep in the extremely comfortable bed! Very friendly staff who were happy to accommodate our 2 well behaved dogs. We didn’t dine in the hotel in the evening but the bar was busy and food looked good, but breakfast was great and such a large portion it kept us going all day!

Staff were friendly and helpful. Corris rules applied without any fuss. Clean on suit room with comfortable beds. Menu varied for all meals. Breakfast delicious.

Very much enjoyed our 2 night stay. Food was excellent, room fabulous and very friendly staff. Only one small gripe:the kitchen bell announcing food was ready is very intrusive in the dining room. It felt a bit like being in a busy railway stationär times. “Ding dong. The train arriving at platform 2 is ......” ????????.We would return to stay with you if we were in Ullapool again though and eat dinner in!

The proprietors could not have been more helpful to their guests. From giving lifts to a guest when no taxi was available, to helping with guest’s long term car parking, they assisted in every way. A most refreshing change these days !

Had a good stay - staff were very friendly and helpfulRoom was very clean and comfortable with nice little touches of tea coffee and biscuits along with toiletriesBreakfast was amazingOur room was above the bar but didn’t bother us - people just enjoying themselves

Allan in the bar was excellent. Good tips for sightseeing the Geopark and a loch swim.Jackie very welcoming and helpful.Breakfast was superb .

Managed to upgrade (for only an extra £10) to a king sized loch view room (room 14). Would really recommend this as these are huge rooms, on the top floor, are a lot quieter (the pub can be quite noisy as expected) and have an amazing view of the harbour. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Very central and would recommend dinner at the Ceilidh Place. Would stay again.

Helpful staff and one of the best views in Scotland down the loch

For the amount charged the accommodation was disappointing. I know it must be difficult for hoteliers with lack of funds from CV19 over the past year but it would have given the management a good opportunity to redecorate and tidy up the bedrooms and bar area.That said the staff were helpful and polite and the evening meal was good.

Me and the boys had the time of our lives at this wonderful little hotel which is quirky and full of character. Donnyprovided amazing service throughout our stay and was an absolute joy to be around.. situated in an ideal location with a fantastic view & tremendous hotel bar which offers a superb variety of local whiskies and international beer. Would definitely recommend the Argyll to anyone visiting this beautiful town!

The car park and a small garden were positively uncared for but the hotel itself is quite a contrast. Much renovation has been carried out to a very good standard and the bedroom was extremely well prepared and equipped. The fire in the lounge was regularly topped up by the barman and most welcoming. The menu for dinner was quite restricted but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.The red wine was decent as well. Considering the restrictions on tourists due to the Covid situation it was good to see the hotel was still able to function. All staff were most pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very good so all in all we enjoyed a very welcome break away from home.

Good location.

Easyfriendly clean and convient

My room was very comfortable with everything you could need provided. Beautiful views out the window looking onto the loch.

We stayed two nights at the hotel and enjoyed a newly updated room overlooking the bay. Due to the Covid situation we did not encounter many staff but the bar and dining room staff were pleasant but not over attentive as they were busy and short staffed. We had a very good freshly cooked breakfast and we also had a very nice evening meal from the bar menu.

Lovely staff, great breakfast with good choice of tasty and well prepared belly burstin' Scottish Fare. I was here a few years ago and the bar was jumping. No music this time due to bloody covid but we knew this. Bathroom/Shower has more knacks to it than a 60's campervan.The Ritz it ain't but who cares? I liked it. Yola for manager.

Cosy and quiet place to spend your nighs. Highly recommended for NC500 visitors. Everything felt great at this cinematic hotel.

Response

Thank you so much for your comments. This is my favourite review ever! :D

As we needed a large number of rooms for our group the guys at the Argyll worked out a rooming plan between themselves and their sister property at the Ferryboat that satisfied our requirements. Everything went according to plan, and our group left happy.

Friendly, great location, good breakfast.

Breakfast was lovely, friendly team of staff throughout. Nice room with fab views but communal areas are dated (breakfast room, bar and reception). The good definatly far out ways the bad.

Stayed here on the 9th September whilst doing the NC500. The hotel is modern, light and spotlessly clean. Our room was large and well planned with an excellent shower. The menu was varied and the food and drink were superb. The staff are very friendly and cheerful and nothing is too much trouble for them. We would heartily recommend this hotel.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. It is particularly good to hear your positive comments at this time as everyone is working extra hard to keep everyone as safe as possible, so we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Enjoyable stay at this hotel, staff were friendly and the food was good - the only problem was that all the doors and windows were open on an evening - which meant we didn't spend as much time there as we otherwise would have, when it was absolutely freezing!

Response

Thank you so much for your positive comments, we are delighted that you enjoyed your visit. Thank you also for the feedback re the ventilation. We are obliged to keep windows open due to Covid, to ensure a good air-flow, but note that this was also too chilly for you on your visit. We hope to improve this by aiming to ensure the airflow is sensible but not too cold, keeping the heating on and we also have air purifiers in the bar. We hope to welcome you back soon!

The staff were really helpful storing our three mountain bikes. The dormitory room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good.

We stayed 1 night and enjoyed it. Excellent food in the bar and a giid breakfast. The bar itself is busy with music so if absolute peace and quiet is top of your list then not the place for you. If, however you like being close to some entertainment and activity then this suits.

I would describe hotel as a little bit seedy but very nice and friendly and welcoming with kind hosts and fire in the hearth which I loved.

It was wintertime and we had a wunderful view and a great time. Dinner was delicious.Thank you for this great night - and good breakfast

travelled up to ullapool from oban to visit friend and stayed 3 nights here.the room and bed very comfortable . breakfast was good and served quickly

Had to cancel due to ferry cancellation because of adverse weather. So far no refund.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere of the hotel is warm and welcoming and the rooms and amenities were very clean and tidy. Overall a wonderfull place for travelers!

After becoming stranded just outside Scourie with no accommodation available in the village i was told by a friendly local fella about the Argyll hotel in Ullapool, i arrived there really late after a temporary repair on the van and the guy on reception was amazing,he got myself and my work colleague a twin room which was also at a great price, amazingly clean, warm cosy room with everything you could wish for plus a stunning loch view when we woke up, great place to stay, i parked right outside the door and my room was literally there, no walking down long corridors with all your belongings, great place and great staff

Did exactly what it said on the tin !

All round great place to stay . Polite friendly staff that went out of their way to help. Big clean room with a viewand great food .Only down side was when we arrived the two male staff that were on that night were so unhelpful and rude but it never ruined our stay . We never set eyes on them the week we were there , the rest of the staff were first classRoom was a bit cold but we had a big cozy cover , Yes I would recommend and yes I will go back ????????

excellent service,great staff

The room was clean, warm, and comfortable; we had a great, quiet night of sleep. The price was reasonable for a hotel in the area, and the location was fantastic. Staff was great overall - the main, mature staff member was not particularly friendly though he was helpful enough.

Plus - Excellent room, good food, good service, good locationNegative - Second night was a Friday and when the bar closed at 1am a noisy group of youths gathered for 1/2hr or so in the street outside.

Very nice People, very nice room with exceptional views

Always a wonderful stay with great staff, food and entertainment. Views from the rooms are stunning, and we look forward to our next stay.

Excellent room. Friendly, helpful staff. Good choice of whisky in the bar. Ate there twice and enjoyed both meals. Good, hearty breakfasts each morning.

quiet Friday night, but a bit noisy from the bar Saturday night.Staff very obliging.Great music (Stot) FRiday night

The Argyll Hotel is certainly creaky in parts and could do with someTLC but it served us well enough and the view across the loch from the room was lovely. Breakfast was very nice and dinners at The Ferry Boat across the road and owned by same people were excellent!The Bar at The Argyll was comfortable and the food served there looked very good. If you want five star - or even four - look elsewhere but if that’s ok then give this place a try.

Arrived Friday and booked into Argyll. Friendly welcome lovely corner bedroom overlooking the harbour. Grateful that they are a dog friendly hotel. Lovely breakfast and hearty evening meal, live music that was fantastic. We had horrendous weather during our visitwhich was the remains of a hurricane from the statesso it was nice not to have to go far.

We come to Ullapool every year. This is the first time we stayed in this charming hotel in room nr 6 with the most romantic view. Nice to have a bar with live music on Friday nights!The full Scottish breakfast was perfect.

First impression the place is a bit tired. However when I asked the group of bikers I was guiding which was their favourite stop The Argyll won unanimously. Staff were superb food was the best of our trip and the place just has a cosy feel about it. Definitely stay thete again.

Nice room, staff.Well worth the money.

Friendly and helpful reception. Nice room very clean and well furnished. Enjoyed a very good full breakfast with quick and friendly staff.

Stayed at this hotel Sunday 26th August. Had a fantastic stay, room was lovely looking over the bay. We had dinner and breakfast which we couldn't fault and the staff were friendly, even our dog enjoyed his stay

Overall our stay was good.The room we had was above the bar which was very noisy until about midnight.The room was clean and comfortable.

We had a great stay, great licatiln, only comments are the ceiling on the 2nd floor near fire door needs properly fixed and the outlook from the dinning room onto the car park isnt attractive, just needs tidied up really..

The welcome, the rooms and the meals were much appreciated.When there is music in the bar a second floor room is perfectly acceptable. Very convenient location.

Ullapool was a lovely place to stay and the Hotel was adequate.The singer in the Bar in the evening was excellent.

Zimmer war sauber und mit einer fantastischen Aussicht!Das Beste war aber das Frühstück, mit allem was ein schottisches Frühstück beinhaltet und auch noch all inclusive!

Friendly staff, great live music! Room was cramped for four, had only two stools and one chair, and the lower bunks had insufficient headroom to sit up. Two twins would have been better in the small space. The tartan carpeting was a treat. Great bar.

A pleasant hotel with friendly staff

Great service at the Argyll hotel. Nigel the owner was affable and helpful., We ate at the hotels restaurant FBI on the waterfront and the food was good.

Hotel showing signs of ageing.Needs updating but better than some. Food decent, beer good, nice people, lovely area.

The Argyll Hotel was everything a traveller could want - great location, welcoming staff, comfortable bed & full breakfast.

The room was comfortable and the food offered in the Bar/Resturant was acceptable.

We could not fault our stay at the Argyll; a lovely room with panoramic views of Loch Broom, great food and service with local musicians providing great music on Friday and Saturday night.This is the hotel I will choose on returning to Ullapool.

A lovely friendly hotel with great service from very welcoming host. Very comfortable beds, excellent spacious lounge and dining room. All in all a very good hotel with everything you need whilst traveling.

Seems to be more of a bar / pub with bedrooms, rather than a hotel with a bar..Trying hard to feel ‘upmarket’ but not quite there .Overall though, a friendly and comfortable place, good staff

Great food. A nice bar with helpful staff

We really enjoyed our stay, and would come back. Breakfast was lovely. Room was cosy with a view of Ullapool harbour.

Do like this place bar has a nice atmosphere,friendly staff, room was good the shower aswell, highly recomended!

The first impression of the building and the bar area is not good. However, the room was excellent and the staff more than accommodating. A comfortable place to stay on the NC 500, but not for a longer period.

Needed a room when i missed the ferry, I was given a lovely room with a good en-suite. Very happy with the room and price, would stay again.

Made to feel very welcome, especially our dog Chaos, highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

My partner and I booked into The Argyll to ensure we were on time for the morning ferry to Stornoway. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast good. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge at the fire having a couple of and G&Ts.

This is a lovely hotel which needs some TLC and a lick of paint. It’s in the best location, incredible views over the Loch.Has parking found the back. The staff are lovely and can’t do enough for you. The rooms have everything you need. Breakfast was served in dining room and was lovely.The only thing that was dissapointing was the draft coming in the window. It was a very high wind outside and unfortunately it found its way in. It felt like it was coming from under the window frame? The room was cold as a result although the heaters tried to keep it warm. So I didn’t get much sleep.I would definitely stay here again in the summer months.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Room clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the Quiz and poker nights. Will stay again

This is the second time I have stayed hereGood value Hotel comfy rooms good breakfastIt was a bit cold through the night as electric had tripped so there was no heatingbut these things happen

Great stay at The Argyll, late arrival, still gave us pizza, great breakfast , and comfy bunk room

A one-night stay before catching the ferry to a Stornoway. We had a lovely loch-view room, and really enjoyed dinner with a great ceilidh of diverse, talented performers.

First time we have stayed at the Argyll Hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.Sirloin steaks and bottle of Merlot were served by a very proficient young waiter whose manner was delightful.King-size Double room had fantastic view over Loch Broom and breakfast the next morning was as equally enjoyable as our evening meal the night before.Mouth-watering home-made porridge for my partner and full cooked breakfast for myself.Thank you very much - we will be back.

very friendly employees; hotel is old, but clean; food very good; fun events scheduled for the evenings

Friendly cosy hotel rooms very cleanTasty meal in bar would definitely use again

We stayed one night at the Argyll and it met our needs well. Our top floor room was spacious and comfortable with a great view. The breakfast was good. Since the Argyll (like all hotels in Ullapool) has regular live music, make sure you do not have a room above the bar - unless of course that is what you want.

Lovely authentic Scottish hotel. Warm welcome, lovely room with amazing views of the harbour and excellent food.

Easy to find, very welcoming and great music.Rooms very comfortable. Fantastic views of harbour and mountains

Lovely hotel staff were excellent great location

Lovely hotel, friendly staff especially Neil who made sure we were well looked after , room was lovely with beautiful sea view . Dinedat sister hotel Ferry Boat Inn, food was excellent and Nigel was a lovely host, all staff really friendly and helpful .

Great hotel, room with amazing sea view and great friendly service would highly recommend this hotel

Very comfortable rooms with great views of Loch Broom Breakfast was great and kept you going the whole day.Bar and lounge service was friendly and excellent as well as the pub food.

Lovely room & location.Breakfast very good. Friendly & relaxed atmosphere.

We had a very enjoyable stay, rooms were very comfortable &I we were made very welcome

Great value stay at this hotel. Bustling hotel with live music on most nights . Good meal in bar, excellent steak pie . Staff very welcoming and friendly . Cracking breakfast .

We have stayed at the Argyll a number of times. Being dog friendly is a bonus for us as we travel to the islands with our two dogs. The room, as always, was clean and the staff were friendly and welcoming.The tea/ coffee making facilities in the room are appreciated, as is the quality biscuit! The breakfast selection was very good with cereal, fruit, yogurts and traditional breakfast. I enjoyed my vegetarian cooked breakfast.Parking was excellent and we feel that the hotel offers tourists genuine value for money with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. We enjoyed the live music too!

Lovely room and freindly staff.hope to return

Smashing stay at the Argyll.Friendly staff with a very pleasant atmosphere. Good food but a bit expensive for what you got but the rooms were clean and the beds comfortable will definitely stay there again.Many thanks to all the staff👍

Booked two four bed bunk rooms for 8 adults. Due to circumstances only 7 made it to the Argyll. However the staff were very understanding and only charged for the 7. Very comfortable beds and spacious shared bathroom facilities.Good bar and reasonably priced. No duke box as far as I could see.

We hadn't prebooked but we was warmly welcomed and a room was allocated to us.The room itself was spacious and comfortable with great views over the water.The restaurant bar was a lovely place to spend the evening, complete with an open fire.We really enjoyed our short stop over here.We hope to go back one day

The room had a great view of the loch, and a washbasin. The beds were excellent.A pleasant hotel with good staff on the Main Street of Ullapool.Good bar, good meals.

I have been there before and I Will come back as soon as possible.A Nice hotel with a fantastic veaw.

Das Hotel entsprach den Erwartungen. Liebevoll eingerichtet, günstige Lage mit Blick auf die Bucht, guter Service. Weniger toll, aber typisch, einige Nachlässigkeiten in den Installationen,schwieriges Handling der Feuerschutztüren auf engen Treppen mit Gepäck. Aber das ist überall so.

Excellent room 14Various choices of food at both breakfast and evening meals. Well cooked and presented.All I could have asked for on a business trip.

vary helpfullgreat real alefood vary good

Loved the view from our room, so nice. The room were very nice. We had lamb-shanks for dinner, very tasty. We enjoyed your Folk-song-evening. Will recommend your hotel to others.

Really friendly staff. Room very spacious and very comfy bed.Nicely decorated. Didn't have breakfast as early start for ferry.Would recommend

This hotel and especially the staff are incredibly nice. I recommend this place to anyone passing by UllapoolWe even heard a local choir at the bar of the hotelPerfect

we found the hotel welcoming, the dining facilities very good and also noted that improvements to the hotel made for a pleasant stay

Myself and 2 friends stayed here while on a 3 day mini break of the highlands. Our room was perfect for our needs and any of the staff we happened to meet were very friendly and helpful. I personally had stayed here before and i would certainly stay again.

Friendly and helpfull staff but expensive

Really friendly staff, clean compact rooms. Enjoyed the lovely view from the room. Easy stroll to everything!

A nice place to put your head down for the night before a ferry ride or heading north.

Though bedroom and bathroom in need of some TLC this was made up for by the pleasant staff and excellent good.

Great staff nice place

Good bathroom with a performant bath/shower.Bedroom with 2 windows looking on the sea (can watch at the moves in the port), simple but with all what you need. Good bed. No lift but freindly assistance easy to get. Car park. Dinner & breakfast are ok. I even could get a big expresso with the smile of the owner.

I'll come straight out and say i didn't like the decor! Personal taste - what can you do. Other than that very comfortable and clean room with a lovely view over harbour and hills. I didn't have supper but had breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs (thank you for that) it was spot on. Owner and staff very friendly and relaxed. I recommend.

Fantastic wee bar and hotel - basic but clean and bright rooms, good food, good local ales, completely dog friendly, reliable wifi, hearty breakfast, all staff friendly and helpful, free parking, live music many nights of week, great price.We've been several times over the years. Just could not ask for more.

Friendly staff, good food,comfortable room.

Clean friendly hotel. Great food in bar and live music when we were there

Room 8 had stunning view of Loch Broom. Had a nice dinner there also.

Booked a quad room, room was well priced, breakfast was well worth the money. The overnight stay at this hotelsimply met our requirements and the staff was very friendly.

Had a lovely stay at hotel. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Breakfast excellent. Felt our room was slightly cramped.

Wow!We wished we could stay longer. It was such a wonderfull room and house. The location is perfect and serene. Dinner was lovely. And however I had a terrible back pain I slept like an angel in the soft bed.I felt like a lady of the house being well served and friendly staff. All in all a perfect stay.

The last review was for another hotel. Sorry. But we had a great stay In argyle hotel. It was a pity the room wasn't en suited and we had to walk across the hall. Staff was friendly. And it was clean.

Very spacious family room, lovely comfortable beds. Great for two adults and two children. Lovely views over Loch Broom. Nice en suite shower room and we had a nice breakfast. Would recommend. In the centre of Ullapool. The bar was also really cosy and inviting.

Room was comfortable and clean with amazing view. Lovely big soft bath towels, but pillows were a weird shape. Staff were friendly, but seemed a bit disorganised. Enjoyed the evening entertainment, but a bit disappointed with restaurant choice.

What a warm welcome we received from the owners of The Argyll Hotel. Would recommend a few "drams" in the bar & their dinner menu.1st class stay and an excellent nights sleep

we have stayed in the Argyrll Hotel before and as the same as the last time we had a good stayThe staff are all freindly and its a great place to take the dog!

My boyfriend and I stayed here the night before catching the ferry to Stornoway. The hotel was great value for money, the staff were friendly and approachable, and the beds very comfy. The bar is very cosy too, with a real coal fire. Perfect for a wee nightcap on a dark winter night!

Onward stop for ferry in twin room with shared bathroom which was first-class. Accomodation only required. Very comfortable and warm hotel. Bar meal excellent. Staff excellent.Good bar with good open fire.Will stay again.

Excellent staff,fine hotel

Very nice stay, spacious clean rooms, nice shower and excellent food, served with a smile.

This was one of the most pleasant places we stayed in during our highland trip. The view over the bay was stunning, and the room, though small, was cosy and welcoming. Details on how it was decorated added to its character - my mum became a fan of your tweed curtains and pillows. The shower worked well and we were pleasantly surprised to find all the toiletries were of high quality, made with Scottish sea kelp. Another detail was the offer of teas besides the usual "English breakfast", especially the green tea which was perfect to soothe my mum's stomach after a big fish and chips dinner! The Borders cookies were also a delicious bonus.In the morning, rushing to get the bus to Inverness, I forgot to hand in the room keys and only realised it when I was already in Inverness and got a call hours later. The staff was very understanding and allowed me to post them back, which was a big relief. Thank you!

Lovely views and freindly staff.This is our 6th stay at the hotel. Quieter in evenings but anderstand proprietors were on holiday so little entertainment.Good food quality.

Lovely Hotel - welcoming staff, cozy firelace in the pub, comfiest bed on my trip. - great breakfast.

we really enjoyed our stay and the room was very thoroughly clean!

We really enjoyed our stay. The bed was very comfortable. The bath and shower were excellent. The food was very good (the best macaroni cheese I have tasted and the breakfast was lovely). We are both vegetarians and were very well catered for. There was a good selection of beers and whiskies. The view from the room looking over the harbour, loch and mountains was amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will certainly return.

I was greeter warmly by the owners and shown my room when it was ready, I had arrived a little early.The room was very comfortable.bed was huge, bathroom had a tub and plenty of tea and coffee in the room.I ate in the pub downstairs the first night and ordered a vegetarian dish of falafel burger.it was extremely good.the bat staff couldn't have been nicer.In the evening, the pub is very popular, as I believe it stays open the latest.Monday was a folk song jam session and it was just charming!the only slight issue that keeps this from 5 star is the weak water pressure.but, hey, not there for luxury showers, are we?

Charming hotel with beautiful views over the harbour. Friendly staff and good food. Unfortunately the hotel is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems or a disability. No walk in shower cubicle and steep stair acess to rooms.

Nice hotel in the middle of the Small village. Bit Old Fashion but they have updates the Rooms.Your sleeping above the bar and in iur case their was live music till 12.00 Very Nice to stay downstairs:-)

Nice hotel, lovely staff, very good dinner and perfect location.We saw one seal from the hotel window :)

Perfekt location, rooms clean, personal very friendly

First time in Ullapool, could not have picked a better hotel. Would recommend it to anyone.

We enjoyed our stay and we were well looked after the food was excellent the staff very friendly and helpful thank you

We like to express our gratitude for the comfortable and enjoyable stay we had in your hotel at Ullapool.Petra & Matthias

Séjour agréable dans une chambre propre dotée d'une jolie vue.

Friendly Staff and enjoyable stay

Excellent!Incredible view.Delightful staff.Live music in a variety of genres.Quality restaurant.Modern bathroom.Parking on site.

Great hotel in a great town, loved every minute

We have stayed at this great hotel on a number of occasions, once again we were not disappointed.The staff are very welcoming and nothing is a bother to them. Lovely comfortable rooms - good service from the owners and staff alike and very good food. We will be back again!!!

Friendly helpful staff , good food , safe parking for bikes. Very nice hotel for bike tours

2 nights stay in a double room with en suite bathroom, room was clean, bed was comfortable with quality linen, bathroom was spotless, shower could do with an upgrade.Food was reasonably priced, menu with a good choice of food and well presented.Breakfast was also with a good choice of menu.Would recommend and stay again if occasion arose.

Nice clean hotel..friendly staff.tho I feel for 100 quid for the night for a twin room with external bathroom breahfast could be included.

We only stayed one night and wish we could have stayed longer. Lovely clean rooms and very friendly staff. We stay again.

Great stay. Staff great. Chanell reserved a table for our evening meal in the bar which we hadn't even asked for. Nice touch.

excellent, friendly and helpful, 2nd stay now.

Great place to stay and good off street parking. Fabulous breakfast, great tap beers and malts a plenty. Live music was a bonus. Very accommodating hosts. Would stay again and recommend others looking for great value comfy accommodation.

Traveling around Scotland needed some where for the night, Decided to book into the Argyll hotel. Glad I did room was good the view was fantastic. Breakfast was good and met the special diet that I'm on. Staff were very welcoming and I would recommend staying here.

Lovey hotel!! Room basic but clean. Friendly busy bar. Food looked lovely but was a little disapointing. Staff were all very friendly. Dogs welcome which is a huge bonus for us. Second time staying and we would stay again

Very pleasant stay and staff very accommodating

Recently stayed in the hotel during a storm and it was a lovely cosy place to stay and shelter! Staff really friendly and helpful too.

Stayed here with my fiancé as we fancied a weekend in Ullapool amazing warm welcome friendly locals warm open fire 10/ 10

The Dinner was very good.

We got a room with sea view it was very nice! Friendly staff

lovely hotel, room had fantastic views of the sea. we had our wee dog with us and he was made welcome.

We had a great time staying at your hotel.Although we had bunk beds in our room and it wasn't an en suite, we made the best of it.The bar was great, the live music was the best and the food was fantastic.I would recommend it to anybody passing through.It was an unforgettable experience.Oh, I cant forget the view.So beautiful.Thanks for the accommodations.

It was a pleasant stay in this hostel. The room is very comfortable and the breakfast is delicious

We stayed at the Argyll on a Wednesday evening and the room was great on the top floor with excellent views of the bay.However, at closing time we heard lots of people leaving and they were noisy for about 20 mins.It would be ideal if they could ask bar customers to leave through the back entrance.Breakfast was excellent, great location.

Stayed for 1 night in room on the second floor with lovely views over loch broom. Live music from Martin Stephenson in the bar, great night. Would definitely stay again.

Very enjoyable stay, room comfortable though a little small. Scottish breakfast good. Bar very nice good entertainment.

Ci siamo trovati molto bene, il personale è stato molto gentile, disponibile e colloquiale.

Our second stay at The Argyll was as good as our first stay 3 years ago. We do appreciate the in house restaurant area upstairs as we much prefer that to eating your evening meal in the bar.Very pleased the langoustines are still a permanent feature of the evening menu. We had them every night!We find this hotel faultless. It is one of those places that has a great friendly laid back ambience which you realise is extremely efficiently run.Well done everybody at the Argyll. We would recommend to everybody that it is the best hotel to stay at in Ullapool.

Everything in order. Good sea view room

Stayed overnight prior to catching the morning ferry. Location was ideal, rooms were clean and comfortable, if a little tired looking,and only 1 was ensuite. Staff were friendly and helpful. However, our room was above the bar and was very noisy. I was unable to get to sleep until after midnight.

After travelling along the North coast, it was a novelty for me to find a lively community again. Ullapool is good - visit the Summer Isles, watch seals or go to Stornoway. The hotel itself, although an older style, is fine. Room with a sea view, wifi available, comfortable and warm and with helpful staff.

Hôtel sympathique, avec jolie vue sur la baie d'Ullapool. Peut être un peu bruyant en raison de la présence d'un pub et des soirées organisées par l'hôtel.

The bar was friendly as were all staff. Dinner in the restaurant was great, best fresh vegetables I ate in the 6 weeks we were in the UK. It's the little things! Large very well kept room with magnificent views. Ullapool in beautiful.

Our stay at the Argyll Hotel was great, we had a lovely room which was clean the meals were great and the staff very friendly. The hotel is close to everything and has free parking out the back. The staff even carried my bag up to our room, much appreciated.

Does what it says, couldn't fault

A friendly pub with cheery locals, a laid-back gentile host Nice musical back drop. Good character. Evening food could improve a bit, burger not good. Breakfast set up too needs a rethink. Overall I (Peter) like it and would return.

I absolutely loved people working in the hotel, they were not just friendly but also very helpful - they let us check in hours before the official check-in time and then saved our lives when we had whole day ahead of us before our bus back to Inverness and they had no problems with taking care of our backpacks while we did more hiking:) I guess the hotel may feel a bit outdated but I actually liked that side of it;) The view from our room was absolutely to die for, the only thing that could have been better was the temperature in the bathroom as it was very cold in there;)

The hotel staff were pleasant, the food quality, quantity and value for money was good.My room was comfortable, however the en suite would benefit from a deep clean especially the bath/shower tile grouting.Unfortunately a cooked breakfast cold not be served before 0800 during the week which did not help if a business traveler required to be at an early appointment.

Great location, great food, a couple of nights we could hear people outside early hours in morning but would stay here again

We enjoyed our stay. Comfortable spacious room. Friendly staff. Tasty food. We'd recommend you to friends.

We really enjoyed our comfy room on the top floor overlooking harbour, great views - and the bar with open fire. Breakfast nice, I had poached egg on smoked haddock. I would stay again.

Good friendly efficient service. Good food

Warm, cosy, comfortable, friendly. Enjoyed our stay.

we had a double room and a twin room for Granny and 5yr old. This is our 2nd stay in the Argyll which we find very relaxing, the food is excellent and the breakfast is just what you need prior to a long journey on the Ferry.

My ftiend and i stay here every january for a night they are friendly and the hotel is homely.The bar is lovely with a real fire very cosy and known for good live music.The bedrooms need updating a wee bit but are clean and comfyThe veiw from front bedroom windows onto the lich is gorgeous.A good price toEould reccomend staying here yo everyone 😀

This is my second time at the argyll and again it was good value and ideal for catching the ferry after a long drive up. The breakfast was wonderful and I had Herring!

Well I did find this place online and was very lucky the view to the sea was beatfull and the bar amazing and very good local people @ !

Our 2 employees enjoyed their stay at the hotel and would definitely return.Good accommodation and food.

Great pub, clean warm room, friendly staff.

Staff very helpful and friendly. room a wee bit tired but warm and clean, comfy bed etc. fantastic view of the loch from the window. food first class, came home a wee bit thicker round the waist.

And I mean excellent! Best meal I've ever had. Hand dived scallops were amazing. Room was fine with a great view over the harbour with the mountains beyond. Would definitely stay again

We were shown to our room which was small but adequate with a superb view.The food and service was excellent.The 'boy band' music in the bar was dreadful.We'll stay there again one day. Dogs welcome which impressed us.

A great location and beautiful view from our window! The room was a little small but fine for the one night we were there. A good pub for a pint and a nice breakfast as well. The young man at the desk was very friendly and helped us up the stairs with our suitcases. A nice spot and close to the ferry!

The people were brilliant and my steak was spot on. Medium rare actually came out medium rare, not something that happens very often in the UK. Room very well equipped and the view was amazing.

We had room 14 which is the best room of the hotel: spacious and loch view. Excellent and friendly staff - good cooking - nice life music.

Could not have asked for a better view..it was stunning.The room had everything we needed.The only problem we had was that we could not get a signal on the television.Breakfast was very good and the gentleman who served us was very attentive to our needs.

Small room, but very clean.

Our room on the top floor of The Argyle was spacious and had fabulous views across the harbour and loch. Safe parking for the motorcycle was available and dinner in the nearby sister establishment of the Ferry Boat Inn was excellent.

Stopped one night only. Great location and stunning views over the Loch. Did not eat so cannot comment on food, room clean and comfortable, if a little 'tired' and in need of refurb. Staff very welcoming and helpful.

Not too luxurious, but a nice enough hotel to stay, if you are on a Scotland tour, like us

met by a pleasant, friendly guy at reception. Room comfy, clean, and well stocked. Good view and weird quaint faux Scottish décor in bar. telly gubbed.

Cittadina incantevole, albergo con un buon confort e tanta gentilezza. Stanza ben ordinata e pulita, con servizi di buona qualità. Consigliato per chi cerca tranquillità.

If you are looking for a traditional Scottish hotel then this is it...our family room was clean and basic but with everything we needed. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, we booked through an online agent but it might be better to deal with the hotel directly

All great even the weather view from bedroom fantastic food was perfect,all staff very helpful,and the evening entertainmen was most unexpected and right up our street.

We really enjoyed our overnight stay at the Argyll Hotel, before catching the ferry to Stornaway, the following morning.The dinner and breakfast were particularly good.

we rode up to ullapool from home in newcastle for the first night of our island hopping tour on our trusty triumph.we only stayed at the argyll for the one night but have to say we wish we could have stayed longer.we had a super room with a view over the bay,the room was lovely with all the usual things you expect but also we had a lovely sofa to sit on and a massively comfy bed.we ate in the restaurant food was brill,we forgot to fill out our breakfast booking but this wasn't a problem for the staff in the morning and we had a cracking full english to set us up for the day.ample parking round the back,2 minutes from ferry port superb location and such friendly staff had a good bit chat with the barman.lovely comfortable hotel and we will be back and will stay longer for sure,very happy

A conveniently located hotel with a well stocked bar and a varied food menu.The staff are very friendly, warm and obliging.Rooms are a rather small.

A faire - Chambre calme avec un pub animé et un bonne table dans le restaurant. Superbe souvenir.

Very good welcome.A little bit disapointed by the bathroom out-of the bedroom, but the evening concert was a great moment, great emotion.

This Hotel has an ideal location. Friendly staff and nice clean comfortable rooms with a good atmosphere in the lounge in the evening. Definitely worth a visit.

We recently had a pleasant stay at the argyll our room 14 had the most amazing view across loch broome, friendly staff and bar with great choice of beers and cider

great place to stay, good staff, excellent choice of food & drink,decent rate & first class breakfast

Very welcoming hotel. Must be the best in Ullapool. The staff and owners were extremely courteous and hospitable.

Enjoyed a 2 night stay at the Argyll hotel after a 400 mile drive.Had a lovely family meal there on Saturday night and then sampled a few too many in the well stocked bar.Kids joined us for breakfast on the last morning which set us up well for the return leg of the trip

Very comfortable and nicely furnished room. Staff very helpful and friendly, breakfast very nice. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

Good fire, food and drink, comfy bed, nice linen and toiletries, great view in the morning and very friendly, especially towards my Maggie dog.

Had a fab night with great food and a huge amount of excellent whiskey.Staff very friendly and accomodating and loaded with local information.

A good room, exellent bed, and a fine view.

lovely friendly place, music obviously a passion :) Pub was great, served best variety of whisky which was enhanced by the barman's personal experience and his enthusiasm. (that was dad serving us) Evening meal was good, the wine was excellent. Such a surprise in a small village in the Highlands! However,I'm never ever going to eat smoked haddock anywhere else but Ullapool. It was simply the best breakfast experience I've had in 57 years.Accomodation was clean and comfortable and nobody could complain about the wonderful view over the harbour.

A most pleasant stay a the Argyll Hotel once againWonderful food, hospitality and set in a beautiful locationWe hope to be back for our fourth stay in the not too distant future

My wife and myself spent one night here, a nice hotel in a beautiful village, friendly helpful staff, slightly dated (full of character) and very clean. Lovely sea view from the room, would stay again.

Excellent food, friendly staff, cosy room, highly recommended.

Very nice, warm welcoming hotel. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food nice but not a lot of choice if you are not a seafood fan, but having said that to be fair it is a seafood bar - my children were not keen!!. Would use again and recommend.

A very pleasant friendly welcome , adequate room and excellent servicefood and live tasteful traditional music made our stay an enjoyable experience.

The staff are hard working and very helpful, the food is great. The bands were good and loud. They have real cider if that's your thing. We have booked for next year so I think that says it all.

We had a great time at the Argyll Cider and Blues Festival.Lots of fun.Good music, good food and lovely staff.We'll be back.

The Argyll Hotel is an old hotel that provides comfortable clean and tidy accommodation,the staff were very friendly and helpful in everyway there is off street parking at the rear of the hotel.Both the Saturday night meal and the breakfast on Sunday were excellent.I would have no hesitation booking this hotel in the future

We had a very enjoyable stay at The Argyll Hotel. The room was fresh and clean and the staff were all very helpful.We enjoyed a lovely meal in the restaurant and our breakfast was delicious.Would recommend this hotel.

Spacious Bedroom, also room very clean throughout, a bonus after scalingtwo VERY tight and AWKWARD staircases with two suitcases. Excellent breakfast (was better than that!) Lady with red hair (forgot her name)a gem giving first class attention, and polite with it! First choice should we visit Ullapool again. (J.SLaing-Edinburgh0

Before boarding Cal Mac on Saturday 20/07 we stayed Friday 19/07 in Argyll Hotel.Location perfect, room very comfortable, staff very helpful and efficient.Dinner on Friday pm was so good, we loved it.Breakfast Saturday am very good and great start to the day.This hotel for us was very very good and we would highly recommend it for the perfect stay.

My partner and I were on a long weekend biking trip.The Argyle was an ideal places to stop for a couple of nights.We ended up in a larger room with some lovely views of the bay.Food was excellent.The bed was nice and comfortable, the bathroom was a bit shabby. Cleanliness wasn't the best, there was quite alot of dust. On the whole we had a lovely couple of days.

Had a lovely stay in the hotel. We were made to feel very welcome despite having 2 dogs with us and Richard was an excellent host.Had a really nice meal and will hopefully return in the near future.

Excellent hotel, friendly staff. Have stayed before and will do in future.

Lovely visit, good room with beautiful view, excellent food for dinner and breakfast.Good having car park at rear of Hotel.

A 'Feel at home' hotel with caring staff, excellent food and a good bar - something for everyone!

We were made welcome and the staff were extremely courteous and helpful. I would certainly come again and would recommend friends as well.

A warm welcome,fantastic views from our room, delicious food both at breakfast and dinner. In the centre of Feis activity yet we had a peaceful sleep. A wonderful break which we hope to repeat.

The hotel is very nice, pleasely located in Ullapull with a good view on the loch. The rooms are well furnished, thougth a bit small.The restaurant is good, but the service was really too long, and most of the day dishes were no more available at 8pm already.It is a good adress however, with a good quality/price ratio.

Thank you very much for your service and accomodation. Everything was wonderful and nicely.

Comfortable room and professionaly presented. Very homely and staff were courtious and attentive. stunning view over Loch Broom. Liked the straightforward on line booking and particularly the sensible cancellation policy. We'll be back.

Comfortable, well-located hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Only criticism is thebathroom in our room was a bit dated.

Stayed for one night.Room was comfortable but bathroom in need of upgrade.Bar was welcoming and patrons friendly.Food was excellent and the staff were always helpful and friendly.Would stay here again.

Really good overnight stop before the ferry to Stornoway the following day.Food excellent and room very well furnished

Had a great second stay at the Argyll Hotel. Travelled up from Glasgow on a business trip on the Tuesday and stayed over till the Thursday. You will get a very warm welcome from the staff on your arrival and the famous Highland hospitality wont finish till you leave. Will deffinately be coming back again.

We stayed at the Argyll on our way to a holiday in the Hebrides but had the misfortune to encounter a raging gale in Ullapool and no ferry sailings. The bar in the argyll had a lovely log fire and some great food. The lamb shank was delicious.Staff were really helpful and welcoming.

Stay was very enjoyable and the staff very helpful and friendly.Bar area was excellent, meal excellent and rooms also excellent.Everything looks new and therefore clean.From check in to check out looked after extremely well.

We stayed in the large family room with King-size bed, bunk beds and a travel cot. The room was large, clean, and comfy. The pub and breakfast served great food and were clean, modern, and homely, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely book The Argyll for our next trip to Ulapool.

Awesome place... great hotel and very nice staff !!!

We stayed three nights at the end of November/beginning of December. The hotel was quiet and just emerging from some major bar refurbishment, but we were made very welcome. A room on the top floor had a fabulous view over the Loch and ferry teminal. Bed was especially warm and comfortable. Food, especially breakfast, at the hotel, was excellent, all locally sourced and/or organic. The weather was beautiful even though the days were short. Definitely a place to visit off season if you get the chance.

We spent 2 nights in the Argyll Hotel.The room (11)was clean and well equipped and had a stunning view over Loch Broom to the mountains.We had 2 dinners and they were both of a very high standard including a delicious steak.Breakfast was also excellent with a wide range of freshly cooked options. All the staff were friendly and helpful and we will certainly stay here again when in Ullapool.Thank you to all.

I stayed here for seven days last week while hiking around Ullapool and can't say enough good things. The room was basic, clean, comfy (especially the bed and pillows) and a good bargain. Breakfasts and dinners were fabulous. The best part is the cozy pub downstairs - always a fire going and quiet spots to read. It is also quite the local hub - with music, quiz night and people to chat with. The staff and owner are all very friendly and make the Argyle a lovely place to stay.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff, great view from room & lovely breakfasts.Star rating isn`t working ... it`s a 3 from me!***

I cannot praise this hotel & it's staff highly enough. If you want somewhere to stay in Ullapool, stay here. Good food, lovely bar,comfy beds,attentive staff and in the centre of town.

We only stayed at the Argyll Hotel for one night, but it was perfectly fine for what we needed for a short stay.The hotel and rooms would benefit from a little updating, but the rooms were clean and quiet.The water pressure was great in the shower and we were happy that the TV had a DVD player.The absolute best part about our stay was the yummy breakfast - I especially enjoyed the homemade muesli.

A warm friendly establishment where we were made welcome. The 'curry night' in the dining room was first class and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. I would go back to the Argyll in the future.

Very friendly, helpful staff. Room fine although a bit on the small side for two people. Shower in bath which is a pet hate of mine and no anti slip mat. Enjoyed our stay.

Nice comfy bed, slept like a log

Expectations excceded and will return next year.Highlights included:* Attentive and relaxed manner of our hosts* Quality of breakfasts and selection on offer. It was a nice and unexpected touch having hot pastries* Evening meals well prepared and quality of ingredients high* An "old" style bar which was well attended in the evenings with live music both Fri & Sat* Accomodation was clean and comfortable. Linen & matteresses all appeared to be new and of high quality.Very limited choice of food in the bar area and if this could be improved would give 5 stars on a quality / cost / facilities basis.

Very nice staff, good food and an excellent, entertaining pub are the positives. The shower room looking a bit tired was the only (slight) negative.

Booked two rooms with the Argyll Hotel for September 2012.Owner was most gracious and rooms were very clean and the beds were amazing.Beautiful view over the bay.Great, super, Awesome pub down below.Would recommend it to anyone.

Clean and simply furnished room was fine. Breakfast pretty good too. A bit of noise from the bar below but not too bad.

All the staff that we meet at the Argyll Hotel were welcoming and helpful. Our room, although on the small side, had a lovely view over Loch Broom, and a good bathroom. Our hospitality tray in the room contained biscuits and fresh fruit. The buffet part of breakfast had a good selection of cereals including a lovely homemade muesli, fruit, little danish pastries, yogurts. The cooked breakfast was nicely cooked and the toast was from bread from the local bakery. Although there was live music in the bar that evening we were not disturbed by any noise and would certainly stay here again.

We have just returned from a wonderful tour of NE Scotland and spent 2 nights at the Argyll Hotel all of us were really happy with the experience including our dinner on the last night;sadly this was all spoilt by the attitude of our waitress at breakfast on the lastmorning everything was too much trouble even challenging us when we asked for a sugar bowl for the table, she did not clear plates after our cereal course until asked and was generally rude.Aside from this I would happily award 4 stars.

website gave false impression of hotel. Hotel was tired, room ensuite tired and luggage movement from car park at rear up narrow stairs was poor. Food ok and reasonable value. Should have guessed it may not meet our standards when they asked for payment up front on booking. Not much else accommodation in Ullapool though

Good points... 1) very friendly staff. 2) pleasant view from room. 3) really comfy beds and duvets. 4) breakfast very good but bacon too overcooked to get knife through.5) lunch good. 6) Saturday evening entertainment really excellent..good playing and good humour. 7) snakes and ladders in room was very entertaining.. never laughed so much for ages despite being thrashed in sets by my wifeNot so good points... 1) bedroom curtains lie over electric heater vents...an accident/fire waiting to happen... surprised fire officer has not picked this up. 2) lots of black mould in the lower grout of the shower tiles.. bleach and elbow grease would fix this. 3) first night re-booked dinner for 0600hrs ... stood at bar for 20 mins trying to buy drinks..only one person on duty serving and doing his best with a fairly busy bar... we gave up and went into restaurant at 0555hrs ... no staff there... waited and saw staff just arriving at 0600hrs... waited but hunger made us leave and the rest of our holiday dinners were taken at the Ferry Inn where the service was excellent... lesson there!Overall...a very pleasant stay. We will stay again.We hope you take this in the sprit it is intended but please watch out for the fire risk in the bedroom.

We spent a most enjoyable 3 nights at this hotel. Our room at the front had a beautiful view across Loch Broom & the room itself was spacious with plentiful hanging & storage space. The 3 dinners we had in the pleasant restaurant were all very good. The bar, where there is often live music,is frequented by locals as well as guests so there is an opportunity to mingle. Out front there are tables & chairs for al fresco drinking & eating. The atmosphere is friendly & relaxed.

Great place to stay. Made very welcome and food was excellent. Children given special treat of hot chocolate & marshmallows at breakfast - would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Very good hospitality. Nice evening with music band. Goog situation. Thank you.

Good food, great staff & a lovely friendly pub downstairs. Restaurant meeal was lovely & the breakfast was very good. Views of the loch are spectacular from the front facing rooms although the stairs may pose a challenge for some. Rooms are fairly small but had plenty of room for us & our medium sized dog.

Room a little bit small. Very good food at our taste. Good organization by "the lady with red hair" ! Very good music at the pub

Great hotel. Staff were wonderful and very accommodating especially regarding the wedding meal. Food also excellent. Thanks guys! Hopefully stay again next year.

What a fun place. Room had beautiful waterfront view; comfy bed, clean room. Had an older beach cabin style, which fit the local area. Local musicians playing in the evening made it a most enjoyable stay!

WE ENJOYED OUR SHORT STAY AT THE ARGYLL. A PLEASANT VIEW FROM OUR ROOM ONTO THE BAY.

Excellent experience waking up seeing the loch under different weather conditions each morning.The hotel is run by a charming couple who try to make you as comfortable as possible.Excellent value for money and a good choice for your holiday.

We were made to feel very welcome. The room was quite small for 3 and not en-suite. None of these issues caused a problem. The bar had a nice atmosphere and Saturday night's entertainment was great. Many thanks

Great night in the Argyll, very welcoming to us and dog, comfy room shower not so good. Music and beer excellent

Four of us have just spent a week travelling around Scotland and would happily recommend this Hotel .We received a very warm welcome , we felt our custom was appreciated everyone was friendly , the room was great value for money and had a lovely view , entertainment at night was very good and the locals very nicewe ate at the Hotel and the food was excellent , good location , breakfast goodWe would certainly return

At time of booking the only room available was a family room, this would be suitable for a couple with young children.In my opinion the room was clean and comfortable, however, for the cost of the room I would have expected a slightly higher standard.The staff were corteous and accomodating as I asked for room service so I could work in the evening, which they gladly arranged.The food was very good and would recommend the venison burger with home made chips!

Superb food, impressive customer service and views to die for, what else would you need?Oh, and mingling with locals at the downstairs pub;)

Highly recommended!

Lovely room, great food, great atmosphere - lively bar full of locals with a regular live music scene, but completely peaceful in our upstairs room. Great food and very friendly, relaxed service. Would recommend.

This is a comfortable small hotel with helpful staff. On some evenings there is live music, mainly traditional Scottish music and the bar is very busy on those evenings, so it is advisable to book a table if you want to eat in. We thought it might be a bit nosiy but we couldn't hear the bar at all from our room. Food is excellent. We had a good view over Loch Broom from our room and the hotel is ideally place for local amenities. Our bathroom was clearly in the process of redecoration and once this is finished, and a shelf put in for guests' toilitries, it will be very good indeed. We also appreciated the apples and bottled water as well as the usual tea, coffee and biscuits. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay there again.

Lovely place and we were treated well. Only slight moan was comp tea & coffee not replenished

Basic, good sized family room, perfect sleeping ( excellent quality beds, pillows and duvet,warm and comfortable ). Nice bat brook with all needed (soap shampoo hand lotion ) Excellent breakfast and dinner we enjoyed our stay

Just a really basic hotel, clean enough and friendly but old fashioned accommodation with the bathroom across the hall which was again very very basic. Good if you are on a budget but not for anyone looking for a degree of luxury. 2 out of 5 but pressed wrong star by mistake!

Very friendly staff and great bar area, where we could take the dog, with good food at a reaaonable price. The rooms and bathrooms however are in need of some up-dating and considering the price the rooms cost, we would have expected much better quality. The staff and dog friendly atmosphere did make up for this though.

friendly atmosphere,friendly patrons,spectacular views and the food was great...only one drawback was a lousy shower

I booked this hotel because of the location and the promise of real ale after a days walking and was not disappointed,The food was good and the bar had a nice atmosphere.My room was clean and pleasant to come back to.

Great experience and hospitality - Nigel was a positive and natural host as were the staff. thanks and see you again - happy trails jj

The hotel was really good. Food was nice. I really enjoyed my stay and would stay there again

warm welcome, accomodation as described, many thanks

I only stayed for one night while waiting for the morning ferry but I would definitely stay again. It was a lovely clean room, a good breakfast and the staff were helpful and very friendly.

We had a warm welcome from staff on a chilly weekend. All the staff were help. The bar was an excellent place and a hub of the town and a good place to watch the 6 nations rugby with friendly local folk. Bed was very comfortable but bathroom could be spruced up. Great views out over the water.

We were delighted with our two night stay on our wedding weekend, from the complimentary bottle of wine to the offer to use a room even after we had checked out as we had to wait for the ferry later that day. The bedroom was fine and the food was excellent. We would certainly use the hotel again.

We were looking for a place to lay our heads while en route elsewhere - delighted to have found the Argyll Hotel!The comfiest bed ever, clean and fresh rooms, friendly welcome and banter in the lounge bar, excellent bar and breakfast menus and fabulous food by the open fire.Perfect!

Great relaxed atmosphere. Very dog friendly. Good food in restaurant and excellent breakfasts. Will be returning.

Very friendly owner.the only thing which can be improved are the shower (low water pressure) & the windows (there was almost no coverage of the noise from the street & the wind)But all in all a recommendable hotel

Had a great stay at Argyll. Room cosy and clean, food in bar excellent value and the quiz night was the icing on the cake.
