Over priced for a tired hotel.
Pros:

Staff very nice, location good although noisy if room faces the front. Good value food.

Cons:

The price charged for B&B is far too much. The hotel is nice enough but it is looking very tired & the rooms are ok but I wouldn’t say comfortable.9

New manager Mary was very nice. Other staff unable to communicate in English well and some looked unkempt wore anorak co
Pros:

Location was perfect and car parking ideal

Cons:

No lift in the hotel. Outdoor beer garden needed attention as paving and steps in poor repair making it hard to access. No fridge in room. Cleanliness of shower basin where it had come away from wall had black mold we had to buy bleach to address this . Shelving and drawers in room very dusty had to clean before use.

Pros:

The staff in general were very pleasant, and the service good.
Breakfast was well presented and good value.
The location was convenient for all amenities
Car parking easy.

Cons:

It seems strange that even if you are resident you can't get a drink after 10pm. Perhaps exceptions could be made to let you take a glass of wine to your room while staff are still behind the bar?
The chap behind the bar was quite abrupt about this.

The owners could try harder.
Pros:

Breakfast was freshly and nicely cooked. Beds were clean and comfortable. Staff were keen to help.

Cons:

The nonsense about codes for check-in was not as described by the hotel/Booking.com and also completely irrelevant since the staff were there and the doors open. Secondly, if I am paying all that money, I expect to be checked in by a person not a code. Despite all the chat about PMS, it is simply a way of employing fewer staff.
I would like to say the room was clean and in general it was, but whoever cleaned it had not looked under the beds where there was a milk bottle and a couple of loose pills.
The hotel needs to pay for a skip and clean up the backyard/parking space/alley where there is old junk lying around after a hotel clearout.
The owners of the hotel are not doing Selkirk any favours. It used to be reasonable hotel.
