2 night stay”

We loved our stay here. We were in room 2 which is downstairs & had a window overlooking the carpark. It was nice & quiet with a huge comfortable bed. Hand soap, shampoo & conditioner were all provided in the bathroom. We loved the little decanter with sherry - such a nice touch! Breakfast was fabulous & the scrambled eggs were the best I’ve ever had. The staff were so friendly & nothing was any trouble for them. The bus stop onto the city is opposite & return stop just past the lodge - we mainly used the number 29. You can buy a day ticket for the bus & trams for £5 which was a godsend for saving our feet & dropping shopping off & heading back into the city for a concert. The only small downside was the lack of plug sockets - but it’s an old building so appreciate it can be hard to install extra. As a CPAP user I need a socket close to the bed but I always take an extension lead now so this wasn’t a problem. We will definitely stay again :-)

Beautiful place to stay”

Beautiful inside and out, perfect for a family we had a four poster bed with a wonderful mattress topper (I never wanted to leave haha), the room was clean and fresh and smelled lovely. Shower was powerful and warm, bathroom was spotless and warm. Good iron, ironing board etc and the best hairdryer I've come across in a hotel before! Real fire in the living with the honesty bar, lovely and warm with beautiful decor throughout. Breakfast was lovely and really good at catering to different needs! All staff were brilliant and Louis on the last day was fabulous ^_^ 100% coming back again, maybe by myself just to sleep in that wonderful bed haha. Short bus ride from all amenities and bus stop is right outside the hotel.

Wonderful people to stay with ”

It's an old historical building with the downsides you may expect from a building of that age. You should go in knowing that for example the glass isn't double glazed so that side of the room would be a little cold etc. However, the staff is the friendliest and the finest on our whole Scotland trip. Just absolute gems to stay with. Great breakfast as well. Location is great bus stop is a min walk. There is a mall with saonsbury 300 meters away. 15 min bus to the center so really good. Also free parking. So as long as you understand it's an old classic place you're good. It you expect it to be a new modern thing you'd be disappointed.

Fringe Stay”

Location is excellent bus stop to City Centre in front of hotel. Great for easy access to Princess Street, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. the communal areas are very tired and could do with a refresh but the bedroom was very modern and comfortable. Good to have parking on site
