I’ve been traveling for over a month, and this hotel offers the absolute best value for money I’ve encountered. I keep rebooking my stay here because it’s just that good. Room 103 is stunning—watching the rain through the large window felt like being inside a YouTube 'cozy ambience' video. As a solo Interrailer, I found the location near the train station incredibly convenient, and the hotel felt very safe. Highly recommended!

​I was extremely grateful for the room upgrade; the room was absolutely stunning. In fact, I was so impressed that I decided to book extra nights and extend my stay! ​The only minor issue was some signal interference with the Wi-Fi and TV, but the location more than made up for it. There is breathtaking scenery just a short walk away. A highly recommended place for a longer stay!

My husband and I were so well looked after here. The manager went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Food was just perfection, tasted like a home cooked meal and was pure comfort. The facilities were clean and well presented. If we ever have the pleasure of returning to Scotland we will be going out of our way to stay here again.
