We arrived for our 1 nights stay expecting a luxury accommodation and got a very poor bed (with springs digging in back) and small bathroom. When you use the toilet it bubbles up into the shower 🙃 But when you use the shower, it had nice power but the water only flushed away when you flushed the toilet. Very poor plumbing.The views were lovely and that was the only positive .

Do not consider staying here, it's a "rip off"|We were looking forward to staying at this "4 Star" hotel after a long and miserable cold drive. It is not even a 1 star! …

Nice owner.|Clean room.|Ok bed.|Bad plumbing.|Clearly a work in progress. Owner was very eager to show around.|Not easy to find, reception looks like an empty store to the right of the entrance. |When he's done renovating, I'm sure it'll be nice.

Don't understand the bad reviews I've just stayed here August 2024 and it's a great place. Reception is at bottom in the old shop. Room was very clean with nice views. TV in room and WiFi works well. Salaman on the Reception was very helpful. Would definitely stay again.

This is being marketed as a 4 star. It barely reaches 1 star. I'm not sure whats happened but it seems it used to be an excellent place but it definitely isn't now, it seems to have been taken over. …

Lovely staff - Joanne was so helpful and friendly. The room was lovely nice and spacious and so was the bathroom. Parking is nearby, we just had to walk a few minutes to the hotel and could see the car park from the room. |The location was great right on the high street.

Basic low rent room for the night. Much more a hostel than anything like a hotel. Warm & clean but this is 1* accommodation not 4* as is claimed. To get in dial the mobile on a scruffy piece of cardboard sellotaped to the door & the host drives over to let you in. It’s not a Hotel.

Chrck in was efficient and very fast. Asia the hostess was wonderful and warm.However the room we booked was on the 3F. Had no idea upfront else we wouldn't have stayed here.. Had to lug heavy luggage up 3 flights!Room was tiny but clean. Stuffy. Hot water pressure was acceptable but shower took awhile to get hot.Room overlooks a street but was quiet.Free parking 50 meters away at an open square outside the Alexander mcbain pub.Hostess recommended the norseman Hotel for dinner. Ordered a steak there and was very happy with the portions and size. Have your dinner there. 5m walk away.Overall would not stay here again but would try another hotel nearby.
