Ann-Marie

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were very friendly and helpful which was great. I had a small room which was adequate for a few nights but the bathroom needed attention, cupboards warped with water, rusty shelves and the shower tray didn’t drain properly. Although the bathroom was clean, it looked dirty. Bedroom was clean and cosy. Location was a short walk to the town and public transport.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved this property because it has an authentic Scottish vibe. It is an old hotel but well managed and kept clean. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again!

Travelled with family
The property is rated as a 3-star hotel. The rooms are basic and could use some updates, and the internet connection is unreliable. Although the hotel staff replaced towels and emptied the trash bins daily, they did not make the beds. The location is convenient, situated just a 10-minute walk from the old city. Overall, the stay was acceptable. Despite the hotel being understaffed, the warm reception and helpful information provided upon arrival were much appreciated.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We did a 3-week trip through Scotland and this was the worst place we stayed. The property is in a nice neighborhood and was once probably a fancy hotel, but it's in desperate need of an update and some TLC. The carpet was worn and the way through in places and I questioned the cleanliness. The staff seemed to be just chilling and made checkin awkward. Be mindful that there's no elevator. We were put in the furthest room on the top floor and had to lug very heavy bags full of collected scotch up the many flights if stairs. The staff did provide assistance which was nice. If you're limited mobility, look elsewhere.
