    great location
    comfy bed
    delicious breakfast
    worn lounge area

    Comfortable stay with lovely breakfast

    The location was pretty good, just a short walk to the main sights. The bed was super comfy, and I loved the heated towel rail in the clean bathroom. Breakfast was definitely the highlight – I got the full Scottish, and it was fantastic! The only hitch was the lounge area, a bit worn and needing some TLC.

    honesty bar
    cosy lounge

    The hotel's honesty bar was super fun, and the cosy lounge made for a great evening hangout with fellow guests.

    Felt like it was our own home, no complains at all.

    great experience but room could be quieter

    The large double room was spacious and tastefully decorated, making our stay comfortable. Staff were friendly and efficient, enhancing our overall experience.

    The noise from the street made it challenging to relax in the evenings.

    friendly staff
    convenient location
    chaotic breakfast
    low food quality
    noise issues

    The location was convenient, just a 15-minute walk to the Old Town, and surrounded by many bars and restaurants. Staff were friendly and quite accommodating, ensuring a smooth stay. However, breakfast felt chaotic with too many guests for the space, leading to long wait times. The breakfast itself was underwhelming. the bacon sandwich lacked butter, and the sausage option was low quality. Additionally, rooms had noise issues, which could disturb light sleepers.
