Great staff

We just stayed one night before the ferry to Orkney. The room was comfortable and really clean. Staff were friendly and helpful so top marks to the team. Great breakfast included in our rate was a bonus. I'd definitely stay here again.

The members of staff were all friendly and efficient. We were particularly grateful to be able to leave our bags for a few hours after we checked out, so that we could do some sightseeing unencumbered

Good hotel with comfy bed, friendly and helpful staff as well as a good restaurant. Rooms are a bit tired and I had a bit of an issue with my shower. But it's a good hotel for the money.

Nice Hotel in the centre of town

Older Hotel. Room was smaller than some but ok for a one night stay while travelling through Scotland. Small bathroom though. Street parking was easy enough to find.

brief overnight stay en route home to Orkney. Arrived late but night porter was very friendly and helpful and had us checked-in quickly. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice and we were on our way in plenty of time for the ferry.

This is an old refurbished hotel. Sloping floors, water damage in the bathroom, shower faucet didn’t work, non working towel heater, hot rooms and up two flights of stairs. A large bus group was there at the same time, also a wedding reception. Heard the band until midnight and breakfast wasn’t replenished quickly enough after the bus group went through. A young gentleman (looked about 14) was on his own trying to keep up with fresh coffee/tea, clean tableware/clean tables; too much for one person. Friendly staff and seemed concerned when we mentioned the non working items. Most likely would look for something more suitable to our liking next time.

Not too bad but there is better choice.

The hotel is quite old and in need of refurbishment. The first room I was given had very weak water pressure and the facilities felt outdated. Fortunately, Abigail at the reception was very helpful and arranged for me to move to another room, which was much better and had good water pressure. Please note that there is no lift, which might be inconvenient for some guests.
