Overall great experience
Pros:

The room was great. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was delicious :)

Cons:

I was working in the room and at around 10am I could hear maintenance using some sort of mechanical tool in the room next door to ours... Fortunately I had ear phones for my laptop to take calls otherwise I would have complained.

Optimal für Start einer Schottlandrundreise
Pros:

Sehr gut vom Flughafen erreichbar – ideal, wenn man spät ankommt und am nächsten Tag weiterreist. Die Zimmer sind komfortabel und ruhig. Abendessen und Frühstück waren ausgezeichnet. Das Personal ist außergewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank auch für den Ice‑Pack für den an der Autotür eingeklemmten Finger – das hat wirklich sehr geholfen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Had a wonderful stay, would recommend it without hesitation.
Pros:

Very welcoming staff, the room was spotless and cosy with a comfortable bed, clean bathroom with a nice shower.
Great location, very quiet, great bus service to the airport, 10 minutes walk to the station, a bus stop at 2 minutes walk (direct route to city centre in 35min) and a Tesco right beside the hotel. Would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Nothing
