The location was pretty good although didn't look it walking up the street. The interior was ok. The lounges were very nice and the staff were lovely. A pity there wasn't more of them. Breakfast time was quite amusing as people had to wait in the lounge to be called in. Other than that our room was great and very quiet.

The breakfast was pretty good. We had a problem with the toilet not flushing and talked to the front desk about it before leaving for sightseeing. When we returned to the room late, the toilet had not been fixed. Also, I know this is an old building, but when the bathroom was renovated the showers could have been bigger. I am not fat, but I am tall and it was tight.

I was impressed with the quality and professionalism of the staff. They were friendly, polite and worked very hard to make us feel welcome. I can speak highly of them. So this review is not about the people who work there. Our room, despite being clean was in poor condition. The radiator hung off the wall, the light fixtures in the bathroom were loose and the kettle kept producing flecks of something unknown with our water. The Wi-fi was unreliable at best and the bed mattress should have been replaced long ago. I would say however, that the price is right, the coffee is good and the breakfast service is fine.

Place was filthy and room was tiny. I had it booked for 2 nights it was so claustrophobic hallways and rooms we had to leave. Staff refused to refund the additional night. Doesn’t look at all like the pictures on Expedia. It’s much smaller and run down.

Room was dated and requires all round decoration. Shower has no support for shower head? Mattress was not comfortable at all and I could feel the wooden frame of the bed in my back. Awful nights sleep. Breakfast was a full cooked Scottish breakfast. Egg looked like it had been fried twice! Sausage was anaemic. In short the breakfast was not as pictured on the website. I didn’t eat it, I only had a round of toast and some badly tasting coffee. Poor experience, I will not be returning, massively overpriced. Staff were pleasant, the only positive!!!

No frills but great value & nice staff
This is a good hotel for a reasonable price - less than 20 minutes walk form the edges of the old town and attractions. Breakfast included becomes really valuable when prices in town are extortionate - nothing is LUX standard - but it's clean, everything works, including a strong hot shower) and the staff are nice. Nice public lounge and patio
