Pros:

close to the bus station, easy to go railway station, and there's a shopping mall nearby.

not sure if it is common in Scotland, you need to pay if leave luggage in the hotel whether before check-in or after check-out.
We arrive one hour earlier, this reception guy is kind let us take a rest in the public area.

Cons:

reception is closed from 10 pm to next day 10 am, if you need any help, unfortunately no one is there.

cold water shower every night, only hot water comes in the morning.

Bardzo miły kilkudniowy pobyt, polecam!
Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja w przepięknej i spokojnej okolicy. Wspaniała komunikacja z centrum - przystanek autobusowy przy hotelu, jedzie tam kilka różnych autobusów, o 2-3 przystanki dojazd do miejsc gdzie można zjeść dobre śniadanie czy obiad. Urokliwy stary budynek hotelu. Pracownicy recepcji bardzo pomocni i uprzejmi, korzystaliśmy z ich porad. Pokój duży i wygodny. Wyposażenie nie było najnowsze ale dla nas to nie problem.

Cons:

Jedyny minus to dość słabe wifi - ale byliśmy w pokoju na końcu korytarza, to pewnie też dlatego.

Demasiado caro para el servicio que brinda.
Pros:

Solo la ubicacion. El bus que viene del centro se demora 20 minutos y te deja a las puertas del hotel. Y el paradero para ir hacia el centro esta enfrente.

Cons:

1. En recepcion decia que el aseo se.hacia cada 2 dias, pero solo sacaban la basura!!. No habia cambio de toallas, ni aseo de la cama, ni aspirado de la alfombra.
2. No habia shampoo ni acondicionador.
3. El contacto con la gente de recepcion solo la tuve al llegar, despues no lo.vi mas
4. No habia ascensor.
