Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the hotel's spacious and elegant rooms, some featuring large sash windows with pleasant street views. The location is also a highlight, offering a charming setting with convenient access to the city center, approximately 20 minutes walking distance to the castle, and near a lovely park with restaurants. Some guests have mentioned occasional noise disturbances due to street traffic, particularly in ground-floor rooms, but overall value the on-site amenities such as the espresso machine, and the convenience of the hotel's pub for dining, especially appreciated on rainy days.

central location fresh options extractor malfunction non-functional heater

i found the location to be quite charming and near the city center. the breakfast was also quite good and i especially enjoyed the fresh options offered.. i also appreciated that the room felt spacious.

I did notice that the bathroom extractor wasn't working . i reported this to the reception, but it wasn't fixed. The flap was just left open.. also, the heater in the room wasn't functioning. luckily, the room temperature was comfortable enough that it wasn't a major issue.

generous portion flakey fish tasty batter friendly wait staff

the neighbourhood bar was a highlight, and i never had tasted better irn-bru fish and chips. the portion was generous. the fish was flakey with batter that was light and tasty. thick-cut chips and mushy peas complemented the main dish well. wait staff were cute and friendly.

the hotel did not have units to keep clothing, only a wardrobe with shelf.

The shower had very poor water pressure. It was barely a trickle. i reported it, but staff stated it was normal for that side of the building. this is unacceptable given the cost. also, the air conditioning unit seemed ineffective and was quite noisy.

The staff offered really good friendliness. They were attentive to our needs. Breakfast service was prompt and efficient. I found bon-bons and flavored water waiting in the spacious lobby.
