Great location for us. We had a fanily room. Not enough coat hangers for a family of 4 storage was minimal. Fold out bed VERY noisy when kids were moving about on it. We had a fire alarm and communication wasnt great. Room was clean and well kept. Staff were all friendly. Busy hotel breakfast time manged well and quickly seated. Would stay again

A great hotel for our family of 4. Breakfast included in the price, which was a great bonus! The staff were friendly, helpful and kind. Easy check in and check out, plenty of parking. Great location. On princess street within 20 minutes, using the tram. Room is small but ideal for an overnight or weekend city break. Would go back again.

Amazing hotel so clean and very accommodating. Rooms are also a decent size We only have a 3 month old baby and the staff couldn’t do enough for us to make sure we had everything we needed Will definitely return to this hotel.

My stay was very welcoming, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms neat and well stocked for a weary traveller. The breakfast was served in an excellent atmosphere wherby you can have a nice meal from the array of food. Iam very happy with the transportation links to places i needed to go from the hotel. Would visit again and I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Came to Scotland for family funeral. Hotel clean and tidy service exceptional . Good variety for breakfast. Bar staff cheerful and helpful. During breakfast one morning had to ask for assistance to deal with delicate matter . Scott one of the management team dealt with it promptly and efficiently.

The family room was very small. The kids bed when folded out took up all remaining floor space. We were climbing over beds and bags to navigate this very small space. The main reception area was nice enough and the breakfast good.

Breakfast was the best part of the stay. The room is super super basic for premium pricing. There was absolutely no space in the room after opening the sofa bed. No space to keep luggage. Kids had no space to move around. Amenties are very basic. We got 1 towel for 2 adults + 2 kids. Room had dust & weird smell so we asked for room freshner but they didnt have one.
