A tired hotel which does the job. It all needs a good deep clean, and a refresh to be totally honest. Great location and excellent staff.

Nice easy stop over on the drive to Scotland. Close to City sites like the citadel. Easy to get meals right at the pubs outside the Hotel, Car parking immediately behind the hotel was all easy for a tired traveller. Room was basic, bed comfortable, quiet, shower was hot. All good overall

Great stay for the price. The room was clean, amenities basic but they suit just fine. Strong enough Wi-Fi for me to take meetings, and check in/out were very easy. Free parking for all guests behind the hotel was perfect for what I needed. It’s in city centre and across from a club, but with earplugs I slept very well. Nearby shops, restaurants, and a great stay for exploring the region.
