Very central, staff very friendly and welcoming would stay again.
Nice hotel with decent rooms and good restaurant. Its a family run hotel so they care about their customers. Would recommend if staying in or around Brechin.
Old and tired hotel. Staff are polite but do not understand customer service. Breakfast expensive for what it was. Unable to charge meals to room ("due to people doing a runner in the morning without paying their bill"!) I had ticked, pay on arrival and had I not told them, could have walked out. Once I paid my bill they charge 50p more than the bill which they could not give me until later by email! Staying in area again next week, it will not be at the Northern Hotel.
A little confusing over price of breakfast as listed as 8.95 and also states that in guest information in room but on the day was charged over 12.00. Not good.
The hotel is looking very tidy and looks to have recently been redecorated. We had a warm friendly welcome from the family. My room was clean and well appointed, with a nice hot shower. Big shout out to the chef as our evening meal and breakfast were delicious. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a great place and I have stayed here before. The reason for not giving it 5 stars across the board is the mattress in my room was old and bumpy. If the bed would have been more comfortable I would have given 5 stars on every level.
Had a lovely stay check in was easy lovely room big and clean the owners couldn't be more helpful and friendly never been in a hotel that made cheese toastie at 12.30am for us when they heard us say we were peckish will definitely be back
Lovely family run hotel, current owners took over 12 months ago.
Some communal areas looked tired but the room and facilities within were really good.
Owners were attentive.
They have just changed their menu and offer excellent variety of evening meals, worth booking a table during your stay.

The staff/owners could not have been nicer or more helpful and I had a very comfortable and clean room. Overall the property is a little tired but if you want a pleasant inexpensive hotel with a bit of character for a night I would rate it pretty well.

Food and service was very good. Room a little disappointing, heating wasn't switched on so room was rather cold on arrival at 18:30 plus TV remote didn't work. Excellent water pressure in the shower though!
I stayed at the Northern Hotel a few years ago , there has been a change of management since then , nothing has changed , still the same high standard and comfort .
