pleasantly surprised for the price
we read the reviews on here and was not expecting much for the price. but we was pleasantly surprised with the stay, breakfast was basic but was still very good for price we also found it to be very clean. we was in room 27 and would be very happy to stay there again. The only thing that I would say is no signs to tell you where it is so for others to find it, its on the very corner of the street.

Room was clean. Location centre of town. However, no signage of hotel (we drove past it twice and needed to ring hotel for directions). Poor housekeeping- only one towel, one pillow and no cups. Receptionist not helpful.

No hot water on 2nd floor shower
Everything was nice about the property BUT there was no hot water in the showers in 2nd floor !!, and no one at the reception to assist in the morning. Had to take a cold water shower on a cold autumn morning. One does not expect this from a registered hotel in Scotland

We booked for 2 double bed and one single bed ensuite room. But we didn't get what we booked as the receptionist told there was no family room left but in websites it was showing available. Since it was night we couldn't book any other hotel and we were left with no option other than go on with just a double bedroom ensuite. Whole night we couldn't sleep properly as we were 3 people in one bed.

Do NOT stay here! This isn’t a hotel. There was no exterior sign identifying this accommodation as a hotel but multiple signs advertising a bar and billiards club! Inside had NO reception desk only a random, unidentifiable man with a cell phone. The building appears to be in some state of sale/renovation and the rooms had paper signs taped to the wall in the hallway identifying the room numbers. The eating area was in shambles. The room we were shown does look like the one on the website so I believe it has been staged for photos. I WOULD NOT feel safe staying here. We cancelled and complained to Hotels.com asking that this be removed from their site. It’s not suitable for anyone. A hostel is better than this.

They are trying to get this hotel better but it is lacking in simple things. No bulbs in the bedside lamps. Can’t reach a socket for one of them or the kettle. No hooks for towels. No wardrobe. No bin only a bin liner. Window won’t open. No cups or teaspoon. Had to ask. 2 flights of stairs and no lift.

Difficult to find the entrance as I couldn’t see any signs as it happens it’s the entrance to the snooker hall you need to take. Building is like a maze inside with room numbers printed in a4 paper with pen. When I got to the room there was a number of chocolate bar wrappers under the bed and a coffee sachet had been opened and discarded next to the kettle by previous occupant. Empty tablet packets in the wardrobe and no blinds in the bathroom.

Simple no frills guest house.
This is a simple very budget conscious travelers guesthouse - no frills so don't expect any. Room was clean but table lamp had no bulb and shared bathroom. No heating in room so stay clear of Apartments in Winter. But it is relatively low cost at £75. Breakfast is tea/ coffee, cereal and toast. Hard to find as there no sign at street level

For the price, the room itself was about what you’d expect. What I didn’t expect though was it to be within a snooker club with no signage except printed A4 paper with a different hotel name on it! Ok if you need a cheap room but don’t expect a luxury building and location.

It started with zero directions on how to get there and then when we did manage to find it. Our room was moldy, shower had open drain. Hallway smoke detectors had bright green light all night and went off after midnight. One cup provided in room was filthy. Coffee pot. No mugs. No soap. Curtain falling off. WiFi unreliable. Could hear our neighbors using their restroom. Open vents in walls. Not hoovered very well. I understand budget hotels, but this was something else. I never leave bad reviews, but I didn’t sleep well in this hotel. It was hands down the worst I’ve ever stayed in. It should be closed till they finish renovations or charge about half the price. I mean. Just. Wow.
