Hotel. The Argyll was designed in 1750 by the famous builder John Adam. The Argyll formed part of the total rebuilding of Inveraray, commissioned by the third Duke of Argyll. The interior of the Argyll reflects its history and the elegant style of its renowned creator. Originally built to accommodate guests to the castle, The Argyll today offers standards of hospitality that more than live up to its illustrious past. Completely modernised and refurbished, the hotel is now one of the premier hotels on the West Coast of Scotland, offering excellent standards of food and accommodation. Recent additions to the hotel include new conference, banquet and function rooms, new conservatories with stunning views over Loch Fyne and new executive bedrooms built to three star standard. Set at the gates to Inveraray Castle, the Argyll Hotel offers splendid views over Loch Fyne and Benn Bhuidhe in the distance. We offer excellent food and accommodation, and friendly service. The Argyll Hotel is the ideal base for local sight seeing and touring Argyll & The Islands. Unfortunately the hotel does not have a lift.

The Argyll is situated under the Central Station Bridge on Argyle St. Glasgow. One Saturday evening heading in to town for a night out, me and a couple of friends got off the train and having had a few shandys on board we headed for the nearest pub to make use of the facilities, so to speak. That pub was The Argyle.

----Description of Visit----
I headed straight for the toilet which regrettably involved going down a flight of stairs and a long a corridor, not the best for me! When I got back upstairs I was handed a pint by my friend (we could only use the toilets if we were customers, you know the score) and I looked around. I was a touch taken aback by what I saw. We we're a mixed group, I am a Motherwell fan, one friend was a Rangers fan, and the other fan was rather unfortunately a Celtic supporter of all things! The walls we're decked out in Rangers tartan, Ger's memorabilia hung from every available place. Pictures, figures, scarf the lot, and all the while the jukebox was blasting out all forms of Rangers tunes! To top it all off, there was a life sized cardboard cut out of Lorenzo Amoruso (the former Ranger's Captain) standing in the corner wearing nothing but a saltire round his waist. You couldn't make it up! So we decided it probably wasn't best to hang about, the regulars seemed suspicious of the 'new guys' and typically someone felt compelled to strike up a conversation with the only Celtic fan amongst us. The atmosphere was certainly uncomfortable; it is safe to assume that only Ranger's fans would be interested in drinking in The Argyle, and probably not even all of them! The Rangers fan I was with would without doubt agree with what I'm saying!).
----Overview----
For what it's worth, the pub itself was very small. The toilets, as mentioned above weren't very handy. The beer was reasonably priced, around £2.00 a pint, and tasted ok. The music was terrible unless you happen to enjoy listening to non-stop ranger’s songs, and the regulars weren't exactly hospitable. Evening accounting for the Rangers thing, it's not the greatest of pubs. There are many more round about that I would be much more keen to endorsing.
**** Argyll Hotel****
**Location/Getting there**
This hotel isn't dead central in Glasgow as you have to walk for quite a while down Sauchiehall street but it is a great budget hotel to stay in if you are planning to go to the SECC.They even have maps to help you get from the hotel to the SECC and it only takes about 15 minutes to walk it.
**Reception/staff**
The hotel isn't that glamourous or anything but the staff are always very helpful and friendly. You get the feeling that they like their job which is nice instead of having a scowling member of staff.
**Hotel/Room**
Pretty much every time i have stayed in this hotel i have had the same room.Its pretty standard as rooms go .It is always very clean and tidy,it has a kettle and some biscuits.The shower is okay.They always give us plenty of pillows .

Advantages: Relaxation Combined with Fun & Adventure Disadvantages: You Have to Come Home
August 2001 I had been seeing Jan for 4 months and was slowly building a bond with her, Dan and Dale Jan's two boys with whom I was also developing a bond had been invited to their Grandma's in Scarborough, East Yorkshire for the week during the School Summer break, Jan and myself got out the map of the UK with the intention of having a holiday of our own. MMM where to choose, things to take into consideration: my car at the time was a G Reg Sierra, neither of us had ever driven within these countries before with the exception of England although we had visited them. We eventually decided on Scotland and the location was to be Oban. Saturday 12.00hrs we decided on the small idyllic fishing town called Oban.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Oban, Argyll
comedy Brotherly Love.
It also has a spectacular Castle built in 1741 of blue stone it has four turrets and looks like it wouldn't be out of place in a fairy tale. The Castle the family home of the Clan Campbell is home to the Duke and Duchess of Argyll. It is open to the public from the first Saturday in April till the second Saturday in October and is well worth a visit.
There is a ramp for wheelchair access to the ground floor but unless it has changed the upper floors are off limits to the disabled. As children we were invited to parties and that was where I was first introduced to peanut butter sandwiches! Such a delicacy.
The town itself is unique as all the houses have to be painted black and white and the windows remain unchanged with small panes of glass, it makes the town look really attractive. Overlooking the town is ...
