Budget room but although my expectations weren’t great I didn’t expect negligence with health and safety.
Pros:

The location was great with car parking

Cons:

I was in the annex which had very poor wi fi connection and only 2 tv channels seem to connect. Also, there was a bad smell on occasions from the drains. Worst thing was that the shower door was just leaning up against another shower panel and started to fall when I touched it. I had to use my already injured arm (I have a splint on my wrist) to stop it falling and breaking against the tiled wall and it has pulled muscles and made injuries worse for me.
The room should not have been let with the dangerous shower and one wonders why it was! I left in the morning and didn’t complain because I thought the hotel would already know, since the cleaning staff had left it that way, but I am angry. I won’t be returning.
Also, although dogs are allowed in the room there was a note that they weren’t allowed in the restaurant so I would not be able to stay for a breakfast.

Pros:

It was quite handy as a stop over from sunderland to
Inverness ,breakfast was really good

Cons:

A window was broke in bedroom 104,when I mentioned it to staff as I did not want to be accused of breaking the
Window,I was told it was allegedly done by last guest?if you can believe that ,as the crack didn't look new to me
They need to get the finger out ,and get a glazier to repair the window

Ottima soluzione
Pros:

Camera molto comoda, con tutto il necessario (anche una macchinetta Nespresso con le cialde... Sembra una cavolata, ma per noi che da buoni italiani amiamo il caffè espresso, è stata una bella sorpresa!). Il letto è molto comodo. Il ragazzo alla reception è stato gentilissimo perché ho sbagliato e ho prenotato una camera con due letti singoli invece che il matrimoniale, e ce l'ha cambiata senza farci aggiungere nulla!

Cons:

Punti negativi: troppi ragni! 5 in bagno e uno in camera; la doccia non ha la regolazione del getto, esce solo alla massima potenza quindi ti becchi 30 secondi di acqua gelata prima che arrivi la calda; le tende non si chiudono bene quindi, se come me avete bisogno del buio per dormire, portatevi una mascherina da notte!
Per il resto ottima esperienza, grazie di tutto!!

Jeg synes navnet Royal Dunkeld Hotel er vildt overdrevet. Selve byen var lille og dejlig
Pros:

beliggenheden var fin, morgenmaden også

Cons:

værelset var meget lille, og lå i en gammel træbarak, der blev ikke gjort rent, vi måtte selv tømme skraldespanden, og det hele var meget slidt, med skimmelsvamp. Det er ikke ok, når der er booket til 3 nætter.

Very disappointing
Pros:

The location to where we were going. The staff were polite and friendly and eager to rectify problems, but were up against too many issues
The breakfast was nice

Cons:

Our room was in the annex which smelled heavily of sewage and was very unclean with marks on bedding and skirting boards. We were offered another room in the annex but that had the same smell. We were moved to a room on the main hotel which was marginally better. Overall the cleanliness was poor,and paint that should be white was yellow. Carpets in the lobby were dirty and tatty. Other customers were also being moved. I was very sad to have paid £107
