Pros:

It's a basic room for a good price in the center of town. From booking it wasn't apparent that the accommodations were for two twin beds. The pub/restaurant is nice and just downstairs. There's no common area or parlor.

Pros:

Rooms were clean and nice hot shower. Food was excellent, great breakfast. Staff was very friendly and obliging. Only problem was stairs to rooms (spiral staircase and hard for old folk to traverse.) On the whole a great place at a reasonable price

Not great
Pros:

Room was in the attic of a house two blocks from the actual hotel / restaurant building. Low ceilings om either side of the room so we kept bumping our heads. Someone else's toenails were in the carpet by the bed. Weird closets being used for storage of vaccume cleaner and other things. Shower faucet drippy. No soap in bathroom. Front door to house tricky to lock. Shared kitchen with dirty cutlery and plates in drawers / cupboards. Rusty pots and pans. No recyling.

Pros:

Hi, I was given accomodation in room 2 which was a party room converted to a bedroom. 3 beds , but all were suboptimal at best.
Shower was most disappointing, with no hot water controls working. Almost got badly burnt and had to miss my shower after being soaped up.

Staff
Pros:

A very friendly welcome from Mark. He took our bags and sat us down with a drink as we were two weary pensioner cyclists. He changed our room to a room further along the corridor that was more spacious and further away from noise from a private function. He was very attentive to our needs and made our stay very welcoming

Pretty basic but fine for us backpackers
Pros:

Place was ok, pretty basic, and we slept ok.
The room seemed to shake when trucks drove past, one of the guests had yappy dogs (guess the hotel is dog friendly)

Pros:

Staff and food were excellent. Great bar, dinner and breakfast.
Windows on room were double glazed but made no difference regards traffic noise whether open or closed. Busy road with traffic throughout the night.

Basic and friendly
Pros:

Staff super friendly and helpful. Hotel right above a pub so food is close.(I did not eat there) Very, very basic hotel so I was surprised to pay $100 a night. However perhaps there are the prices and standards to expect in this part of Scotland.

Pros:

Dash Hotel liegt im ortszentrum an einer lauten Straße. Die Fenster schließen nicht richtig, so dass jedes Auto gefühlt durchs Zimmer fährt und jeder Kneipengast sich nachts persönlich bei jedem Übernachtungsgast abmeldet. Die Bäder sind modern gefliest, aber in den Silikonfugen blüht der Schimmel. Am Waschbecken ortsüblich je ein Hahn für Warm- und Kaltwasser. Die Handtücher sind alle verfärbt. Das Mobiliar ist alt und abgenutzt. Bei Ankunft wird versucht, uns in einer Ferienwohnung in der Dependance unterzubringen, da Expedia ja so schlechte Preise zahle. Die wäre zwar ruhiger, dafür teilt man sich das Bad mit anderen Gästen. Das Zimmermädchen klopft einen um 8 Uhr aus dem Bett. Eigentlich rechtfertigt hier nichts die angezeigten 3,5 Sterne. Aber: Das Personal ist sehr nett und die Kneipe im Hotel ist sehr einladend. Trotzdem würde ich hier nicht erneut absteigen.

Pros:

We stayed in the annex which is a 5 minute walk along the main road and an attic in a residential street. It was private, quiet and a nice property.
However we only arrived to one towel, so we had to walk back along to the hotel/ bar and request more. We were given the towels to walk back along with.
We then discovered there was no hairdryer.
There is also no where to keep things or no way to hang other than coat hooks on the back of the door.
We had to use the radiator to store the towels.
Shower dripped and the linen could do with a serious upgrade. One towel was so worn down it was white in the centre (originally light blue).
We were woken by housekeeping at 9.20am on Sunday morning banging and shouting. She inquired as to when we were leaving. When I said check out she seemed confused that I would want to leave at 11am and then said she would come back later. It was very odd.
Overall, good location but needs upgrading and more thought put into the annex when it is not easy for guests to contact the main reception( the bar).

Pros:

I was travelling for work. When I arrived I had to go through a very busy bar with my luggage and stand at the bar counter to wait to be attended. This was intimidating as I had to push my way through and I wasn't dressed for a night out. My room was directly opposite a function room with a very loud party going on. The noise was so loud I felt as though I was in the party. When shown to the room the staff member told me it would be going on until 11pm. At 11.20 I rang the hotel from my room and was told it finished 11.30 and there was nothing he could do about it now. At about 10.30 one of the revellers was braying on my room door yelling mam let me in. I told her i was not her mam but she took no notice. After several attempts i screamed at her and she eventually went away. After the party there was the noise of the staff clearing up and the noise from the live singer downstairs was booming through my room until well after midnight. The bedding and towels were wishy washy and stained. The towels were very small. The shower was a trickle. I was very annoyed by all of this and do think the noise in particular should be highlighted on your site. I am not from the area so didn't have a clue. Very disappointing and exhausting after a long days travel and work.

Pros:

The hotel is very adequate for an overnight stay. Tea/coffee was abundant and the bed very cosy. Window slightly damaged allowing cold air in but radiators lovely and hot. Our only negative point was housekeeping knocking on the door at 8 on Saturday morning, we were checking out at 11 so this was not necessary and a bit annoying. Overall a lovely budget stay.
