I stayed at the Best Western for one night when completing the Three Peaks challenge in a group of 18 people and I was disappointed all round. My pal and I had a twin room which was sufficient (if slightly small) and was clean and well kept but the beds were tiny and my feet hung well over the bottom... More

Nice, modern medium-range hotel, right in town center, close to bus & train stations. My room was clean & comfortable, with a view over the water. Breakfast was very good, in a beautiful room with french windows. Had dinner in the attached bar the night before - very good, inexpensive. They also serve Indian cuisine. Staff very friendly & efficient... More

We found ourselves locked out of the hotel when we returned after a late family party. There was no night manager and we actually had to force the door to get in! The access to the hotel was not explained to us prior to this event and we were quite stressed with this situation. The actual room was okay but... More

We stayed here for one night as our transit on our way back to Edinburgh In April 2013. The room hotel is OK but it is too noisy and the shower didn't work. Breakfast was provided but nothing special. The hotel doesn't have elevator so you have to carry your luggage upstairs. Not just that, the stairs are very squicky,... More

I have stayed in this chain of hotels all over Britain and this is by far the worst one i have visited......... I stayed for two weeks between weekends. Poorly greeted at reception, very unwelcoming, little to no parking. The rooms were decent enough and clean but not much more. This was a company booking but would definitely not stay... More
