The hotel is quite nice but theirs a few issues. The hotel is way too noisy at night, the dining options are a little confusing and the staff seemed a little puzzled about what to be doing.

Very good in-town Victorian hotel. Rooms recently refurbished to a high standard. Google maps tells me this is a two star hotel, but it's much better than that. I'd give it 3 1/2 or even 4. Food is good too with an emphasis on local sourcing. Inevitably, some road noise for rooms to the front.

Slight mix up on checking in, was given the wrong room a single when I had book a double, soon rectified. The room was quite small & very tired looking badly in need on an update. There must have been a gutter leaking as I was woken up by trickling water - The shower was very poor. The breakfast was very good.

Very good accommodation, choices of bar and lounges, immaculate decor, airy and welcoming, super-friendly staff. I had a very nice single room with a massive ensuite shower room in sparkling condition. Had 2 nights there on my way to and from Stornoway. Super breakfasts to order, and also lucky enough to be there on a Sunday for their really excellent Sunday Roast Carvery. Ryan goes out of his way to ensure everyone has a good experience, and his team are amazing! Will certainly stay again.
