Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's central location and the friendly and helpful service provided by the staff. The bar, especially the whisky selection, was highly praised. However, several reviews noted that rooms were quite small with limited storage options, and cleanliness could be improved. There were complaints about the bathroom facilities and breakfast variety as well. Overall, the hotel offers a pleasant experience, but some aspects, particularly room size and value for money, need addressing.
