Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staffs absolutely know nothing about the area even though it is very popular tourist city. They even do not know where to book a taxi, bus or any other translation. The breakfast buffet was horrible, they do want you to order some hot foods from the kitchen. If not, they would treat you like a jerk. Whenever I ask the questions about the area like tour spots, routes, transportations and restaurants, they told me, “I do not know.”

Hotel was quite nice and the food was excellent. The trouble was all the confusion when asking questions about dinner and our room. When we got into the room, it hadn’t been cleaned and there was an empty bottle of juice sitting on the dresser – the beds weren’t made either! When I went to reception to ask about this, their response was “I don’t know how that happened.” A bit inconvenient overall as we have been staying in a few places around Scotland and they were rated 3* which offered 5* service. I hope this was a one off.

Very average hotel, charging incredibly high prices. Very small room, tiny sink in bathroom, mold on shower corners, heat didn’t work well, very noisy in hallway especially when door in corridor opens and closes. Breakfast was good and included in price, but was the most expensive place to stay our whole trip including Marriott Edinburgh.

The hotel has been renovated but it lacks class and style. It seems like a low budget hotel charging high rates. Lacks attention to detail. For example bed lights weren’t working, the tv login was in French - Took time to mitigate this. It is located optimally for touring the highlands and lochs; staff were warm & friendly ;
