Our room was clean and had tea/ coffee making facilities. Toiletries were also provided.
The view out our window was of the castle. Good location. Hotel requires some updating and there are a few stairs to the rooms.
ElizabethHotel could be done with upgrading toilets and shower facilities
AnthonyIdea place to stay when playing golf at the rothesay course.. hotel is very close to the ferry terminal
AndrewI actually couldn’t check in as I was attending a wedding but couldn’t check in as the wedding was at 3pm and so was the check in time so I paid £90 for nothing. Pure raging

- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about The Esplanade Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at The Esplanade Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Esplanade Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at The Esplanade Hotel?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Esplanade Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Esplanade Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Esplanade Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
