Premier Inn Dumbarton/Loch Lomond Hotel

A bonnie town right on the Clyde, Dumbarton is the gateway to the Lowlands, and the Premier Inn Hotel Dumbarton is the place to stay. Whether you're enjoying the highlife at a wedding at nearby Cameron House, or you're simply breaking the journey on your way to the Highlands, there's plenty to see and do. From walking round the banks of Loch Lomond, to browsing round the boutiques in the shore shopping centre, you'll find lots to tempt you. Traditional Scotland is much in evidence, with the Pipe Band Championships, or a hot toddy on offer at the Auchentoshan whisky distillery. Then it's time for a warm welcome at our restaurant, and a lovely comfy bed.

Not the best

Reviewed By Melissa D

It was an ok Premiere Inn…not the best i have stayed in but was ok for a night. The room (family room) was big, although the smallest bed is only really suitable for aged 10 and under. The room did have a bit of travel noise from outside, but was clean. The windows do not open. The staff dont seem too happy and not as welcoming as others we have stayed in.

We booked this hotel for one night by looking at photos of the nice dining room and the fact it was refurbished There was a fan unit on the roof outside our window which made a noise like a 747 the whole night The toilet also kept filling itself up,so you constantly heard water dripping The walls were so thin you could hear people in other rooms and when they flushed their toilet or turned on the water Very poor room loads of cobwebs on ceiling The bathroom was quite new but the bath was very high and you had to climb in for a shower Despite having a shower mat bath was very slippy and there was no handrail Tv didn’t work,there was two remotes and a guide how to work it in the guest information if it didn’t work..which it didn’t you were to phone reception We liked the look of the dining room so booked dinner and had already chosen what to eat from the menu We asked for the seafood pie..I had been looking forward to it all day The waiter came back,sorry no seafood pie,then told us no seafood platter or hake A problem which their supplier We then asked for two chicken duos He came back,sorry we don’t have this We decided to eat elsewhere Came back to the hotel bar Two bacardis and coke Sorry no Bacardi Problem with our supplier What can I say The bed was very comfortable,just as well as we were awake most of the night Breakfast was nice

One night stay

Reviewed By Clare W

Making our first visit to Scotland, Loch Lomond and was looking to stay somewhere just for 1 x night. We looked online at is was getting late and we came across Queen of the Loch. They had one room left, only £75. We had food in the restaurant which was great and booked for the breakfast, again this was also great food. The Inn and the accommodation was very clean, staff were very helpful. A great find. You can walk to Loch Shores which have Sea Life visiting Centre, shops and great views of the Loch from the beach area. 5 mins walk from the Inn. Highly recomnend this place!!!

Surprisingly good

Reviewed By NewarkSeadog

Didn't expect much and was pleasantly surprised. Warm welcome and easy check-in. Was fortunate to get a parking space right outside the door but parking is available across the road if necessary. Room was big and very clean. After a long drive the quietness was appreciated. Had booked dinner elsewhere and didn't want breakfast so can't review those but if you're looking for a clean, warm and welcoming place to sleep this place is for you. No hesitation in recommending and will happily stay again in the future.

A fantastic location. Staff were brilliant in their hospitality and service. Food was very good. The menu is not extensive. My room did require a little maintenance, ie walls needed a bit of touch j up, The WC flush handle definitely needed fixing. However wiuld stay again without hesitation.

Worse hotel experience

Reviewed By arteeg2016

The worse hotel experience ever. If you want somewhere decent then my advise is to pay a little more and stay somewhere else. My partner and I booked a room for 2 days.It was our first time in Balloch. We paid for an ensuite and decided not to book the room with the shared bathroom. Upon check in, they gave us a room where the shower was mouldy, toilet had gross limescale, toilet door wouldn't shut and the hot water was not running down but to the right of the tap. We complained and were given another room. The shower had mould but not as much. The towel in the bathroom was dirty. Looks like the previous guest cleaned their make up/ foundation on it. This room was still OK compared to the other. They told us the boiler isn't working but they've called someone to fix it. The second day the boiler was still not working nor was it working by the time we left. They told us we are welcome to use the shared bathroom which had electric shower. I didn't pay extra money for an ensuite to then use a shared bathroom so as you can imagine I was pretty annoyed. On the third day we checked out. At night the other guests were really rude and talking loudly in the hall (not really the hotel's fault but that's the type of customer that this hotel typically attracts). In the hotel club, they played loud music on Friday which we could hear from our room making sleep almost impossible. The reception area is always empty but that's their tactic. If there is no one who you are going to complain to, right? My partner and I left on the second night because we couldn't sleep because of the loud music and noise. We checked out early and drove home at 12.am even though we had paid to stay over that night. So I basically paid £160 for one night for bythe most horrible hotel. I don't get why they are even classed as a hotel . I will definitely come back to Balloch but not this hotel EVER again.
