Good location and wide breakfast choice. Rooms clean and spacious.
Only has 15 car park spaces at £25. We got last one luckily but think they would be free if staying.

Everything was perfect. The bed was a bit uncomfortable
Your foyer has a very strong cleaning scent and from what I understand there is a hygienic spray that is used to kill germs. It is very strong and affected my breathing. I am very sensitive to scented products

The location of the hotel is excellent. Near the centre where you can shop and eat all you want. At the same time it is also near a beautiful green park. Awesome scenery for walking. The staff is outstanding. Always there, willing to help. They made us feel at home and our stay one to remember. The rooms are big (enough) and clean. Plus the beds are really comfy. All in all, a very nice weekend in Scotland.
There wasn't much to dislike.

Large rooms with good bathrooms. Great selection for breakfast. Very good location, at walk location from the old town and some of the major touristic attractions.
Breakfast area is not large and may be crowded during the pick hours.
