Ideal location, beautiful building, excellent facilities and very friendly staff.
Pros:

Ideal location, beautiful building, excellent facilities and very friendly staff.

Cons:

The only thing I’d change would be to add Lorne sausage and tattie scone to the full breakfast option. Or is the capital of Scotland after all. Some cliches actually do work.

Pros:

Lokasinya tenang karena sedikit di luar kota, tapi sangat gampang dijangkau. Kalau dari airport, ada tram yang perhentiannya dekat dengan hotel, juga halte bus sangat dekat dengan hotel.

Good hotel lovely area.
Pros:

location is great. The room was quirky and quite nice, memorable. Bed was good slept well, very comfy. Breakfast was a good spread. bar/restaurant outside the front on the warm nights was excellent, right in the heart of the old harbour area. Restaurant foos was great, if a little pricey.

Cons:

Getting a window open in the room was a carry on.

A great hotel in a really special historic location within easy reach of the city.
Pros:

We were luck to have our room upgraded on arrival to a top floor suite and gave us a token for free Prosecco with our meal after mentioning we were celebrating a birthday which was very kind of the reception staff.

Cons:

The interior décor is starting to look a little dated in the main reception and restaurant areas. The room was very stuffy and would have benefitted from more openable windows or air conditioning.

Staff were pleasant, room was soulless, however the bed was comfortable.
Pros:

The building is stunning from outside and in a great location.

Cons:

The room was very poor. Extremely basic and in much need of a makeover. We stayed in a mid range room.
