The best aspects of this hotel were the cleanliness, breakfast, staff, and location. The hotel was spotlessly clean with white bed linen and towels. The breakfast was fantastic and tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I really appreciated being able to check in early and have my bags brought to my room. The location of the hotel was great, not too far from the city center and within walking distance of some places to eat and drink. It was also conveniently located near bus stops for easy transportation.
All was perfect.

Convenient location close to the town center. Clean and comfortable rooms. Good transportation options, with bus stops nearby. Nice breakfast and friendly staff
Nothing, everything was great.
We had a fantastic stay at this guesthouse. The location was very close to the city centre, making it convenient for exploring all the tourist attractions. The staff were friendly and polite, and the beds were really comfy. The room was cosy and clean, and the small but modern bathroom had all the necessary elements. The breakfast had a good selection of tasty and fresh food, including a hot cooked breakfast. We also appreciated the host's attention to hygiene, especially during these times. The Scottish Gaelic music playing in the background added to the overall Scottish vibe of the hotel.
Nothing, it is perfect.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and had tea and coffee available for us to make. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. The location was ideal for exploring the historic places of interest in this city. We would definitely recommend this hotel for a nice few days away.
Couldn't stay longer.
