We stayed at Braid Hills Hotel for the first 3 nights of our honeymoon, and had a fantastic stay! Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Location was a bit far from downtown, but easy enough to get everywhere using the bus, and there was a bus stop right out front. Food in the restaurant was good but a little pricey. Hotel and rooms were clean and comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive, lovely breakfast with lots of choice. Comfortable bed with lovely views. Perfectly located for buses into the city (about 20 mins away). Local independent shops worth a visit too. The room was spotless but badly in need of the refurbishment the hotel is currently undergoing. Accessible rooms are available, but no lift. Look forward to returning..
