My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room had chipped paint around the entrance and the bathroom was a letdown, but the king-size bed and wheelchair accessibility were impressive. The service was top-notch with attentive and friendly staff. The location was superb for a one-night visit, but there were some imperfections. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of choices, especially the haddock and poached eggs. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

The hotel may have tired rooms but they are comfortable, clean, and functional, providing everything you need for a pleasant stay. The friendly and attentive service, along with fascinating stories shared by the team, adds a personal touch to your experience. A good location that allows easy access to both the city center and nearby attractions. Although the dining experience might be rushed, the traditional Scottish Breakfast stands out. Overall, a value-for-money choice with a few highlights and minor drawbacks.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and had a comfortable king-size bed with a beautiful view of the river. The staff were amazing and made my experience truly unforgettable.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The room was spacious and had all the facilities I needed, and the location was excellent. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience was superb. However, the slope to the main hotel was a bit challenging, and the price could have been more budget-friendly.
