Value for money
The best aspects were its cleanliness, excellent facilities, convenient parking, and easy access to transportation. The hotel is just slightly outside the city centre, but we were able to walk during the day and catch a bus in the evening, which took less than 10 minutes to reach the city centre. The breakfast provided was amazing and had a wide variety of choices. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even allowing us to check in early when our room was ready. No complaints.
The cleanliness was impeccable, with spotless rooms and ensuite bathrooms. The hotel facilities were excellent, with comfortable beds and a great shower. Parking was convenient, with plenty of spots available right outside the hotel. Transportation was a breeze, as the hotel was located on the main bus route to the city centre, making sightseeing easy. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the city centre and with beautiful views of the surrounding area. The breakfast was outstanding, with a wide variety of options including fresh fruit, pastries, and a delicious cooked Scottish breakfast. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home.
Nothing to fault.
The location was excellent, close to the city centre and easily accessible by bus. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The breakfast provided was excellent, with a great variety of vegetarian options available.
Can't think of anything.
The staff were great and the rooms were nice. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a beautiful dining room where we had a fantastic breakfast. The location was perfect, right in the center of the city and easy to take a bus to the main city area.

Nothing for me.
