Great hotel in a great location! Some small issues with some staff (concierge pointing us to the exit and not helping when we were noticeably struggling with luggage, concierge telling us he had no idea where we could go hear Scottish music and walking away from us, having to chase down a server to order breakfast each morning, hotel staff telling us we couldn’t ride with them in the elevator even though there was room, front desk locking us out of our room at 11am even though they told us we had late checkout at 2pm ), but when we pointed it out to them they corrected the issues. Other staff including the doorman and housekeeping were exceptional! Recommend they tell guests that they test the fire alarms every Monday between 10-11am. Fortunately housekeeping staff stopped us as we were running out of the hotel because the alarm was going off.

Loved the location, very quaint. Accessibility was good. Room was pleasant...but struggled to get wifi connection with Three mobile but O2 connection worked. Had a little bit of an issue with food trying to order lactose and gluten free foods was difficult and their options precluded one but not both which made it difficult they sent a rocket salad with rocket and cheese which had lactose. If eating out this wouldn't be an issue. They had a DJ for hogmanay but didn't give it enough Scottish Hogmanay Emphasis only counted fown the last 15 sconds and then straight into ABBA songs....fine if I was in Sweden but I felt it could have had a stronger scottish theme from the DJ and the crowd looked a little "Is that It?"

Overall, it didn't meet my expectation. There is no real bed for my double-bed room, there're two small pull-out sofa beds. For the price you pay, and vibe created, I should at least get real beds. Room was not ready after 3 pm and I had to keep reminding them that I have upcoming tour scheduled and needed to complete check-in. It was frustrating. The receptionist who checked me in did not bother to follow up on my room. Overall was a disappointment. The concierge was the only attentive staff and was kind to help when my room was not ready. Location is good. It's a disappointment besides that.

Didn’t think it was worth the money, over priced for what it is. Noise from nightclub nearby kept us awake as well as the room was cold on first night and no instructions on how to use the utilities. Managed to get the room warm by the time we were to leave.
