We were called at 2 45pm on check-in day to advise that there had been a maintenance issue and was it acceptable to cancel booking and refund me i said this was not acceptable as i had driven 6.5 hours and expected the room i had booked. After me calling back after 20 mins they advised me they had a room for me. It was up in the gods, i had avoid a bulkhead to get in/ out of bed, the room and ensuite needed a revamp also there were flies in the room that i had to dispose of. I am going to raise a complaint with the hotel today an request a refund

The City Hotel is not the place to stay if you want a quiet nights sleep at the weekend, but we knew the bar is busy and the karaoke is on a Saturday. Room too hot and couldn’t open the window because of the noise. Other than that, the City Hotel is a great place to stay. Lovely room, great bar and friendly staff

Good central location with a car-park (public) at the rear. My room was basic but cheap, staff were all very friendly. Good choice for breakfast. It was a bit noisy with traffic and seagulls in the morning but the hotel can't help that. I would recommend.

Correct
L’emplacement est incroyable, la ville de Dunfermline c’est simplement wow, malheureusement l’hôtel a besoin d’amour (tapis vieux et salles, sacs de serviettes qui traînent dans le hall des escaliers) mais la chambre est correcte et le petit-déjeuner est inclus alors ça va pour le prix. Il y a un parking chose pratique et un resto sur place.

I literally felt like an outcast. Staff would just stare at me and I would try to smile and they would look away. If you are a person of color I don’t recommend this hotel.

Excellent location for Pittencrief Park &the Abbey
Great hotel, excellent location for Pittencrief Park and Dunfermline Abbey. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. They had cereals, fruit, yoghurt, fresh juices and choice of a cooked breakfast. Rooms spread out, down lots of corridors and up stairs. Stair lift from main reception down to breakfast, restaurant and bar areas. 2 maybe 3 entrances to reception, one on street level and one from rear car park. We used the pay as you go car park at rear of hotel, which had lots of steps. Free from 6pm to 8am. After reading the room info, it says parking at rear under balcony of hotel, but we only saw 3!
