I have nothing good to say other than good location The room has not been cleaned, beds were made but smelt like they had been slept in. Bathroom was not cleaned, the shower had clearly just been used with splash marks on the inside and bathroom bin was full from the people the previous night

Nice Hotel, Great Location
I was slightly concerned about staying at the Ballantrae Hotel, from reading some of the reviews. However, I didn’t need to worry as it really was ok. The location was great, just a short walk to the shops and Christmas Market, and the tram stopped just down the road. All the receptionists were friendly and welcoming. The room was a decent size, nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean and modern. The continental breakfast was as expected, and set us up for a day of walking. So all in all, I was very happy with the Ballantrae Hotel.
