Très agréable.
Pros:

Hôtel ancien plein de charme et bien entretenu. La chambre donnait sur la cour mais était agréable et propre avec un bureau et une petite table avec un fauteuil. Le petit déjeuner, très varié, est proposé en libre service dans une grande salle vitrée donnant sur un jardin et la rivière Tay.

Cons:

Il y avait une baignoire mais avec une douche de plafond inamovible et sans douchette, ce qui rend la douche malaisée.

Perfect Location-Excellent Pleasant Staff-A Great Value
Pros:

The hot full Scottish breakfast provided an excellent start to the day. Fueled for hours and was often enough to take me through until dinner. Offered was scrambled or fried eggs over easy, cooked mushrooms, cooked tomatoes, Scottish breakfast beans, bacon, sausage, toast, yogurt, cereal, coffee of course-all hot, excellent and on a breakfast buffet for portions of your own control. The staff recognized me when entering, the dining room servers do their job with a smile and deserve special acknowledgment there. The front desk staff was responsive to every question, and arranged for a cab even on days where local events would have accounted for a shortage. I trusted that I could count on them for anything with a prompt response. The location was directly on the River Tay. My room overlooked the river and it was a delight to pull a chair to the window and do my laptop work with the lovely view right outside. For access to the "City Center" of Perth, it was perfectly located. This trip was without a car rental, and everything was walkable within a short distance. Wonderful restaurants, a small convenience store to pick up snacks to carry on a hike. The Perth Museum is a very short walk from the hotel, as well as two art museums which were not visited. The train and the bus stations are about a fifteen minute walk from the hotel. The location is worth staying at this hotel, even without all of the other plusses.

Cons:

I cannot think of anything that I didn't like

No lift and the windows don't open to let in cool air, but overall a lovely stay
Pros:

Gorgeous lobby; Historic, well-appointed public spaces. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

The rooms do not have air conditioning, which is fairly normal in the UK. Our room was very hot, though it was cool outside, because the window could only be opened about 2 inches. There was a mechanism that limited how far the window could be opened. Our room was up three flights of stairs. There are no lifts in the hotel, which is also normal for most UK hotels.
