Ein Hotel mit Geschichte. Die Lage in der Innenstadt ist prima. Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Das Gebäude ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und das Zimmer, in dem wir wohnten, könnte eine Renovierung vertragen.
Great location
It was all good
Location was excellent, facilities were great
Comfortable stay off the centre of Perth with staff who go the extra mile to help and accommodate you. Comfortable cosy room with ensuite. Good hearty breakfast.
Nothing really.
Super and affordable place to stay. Very good value for money..
The bedroom we had was a bit small but to be honest for what we paid it was well worth it.
Clean comfortable bed and bathroom
strange smell - not sure whether it was from outside. Carpet needs replacing.
GOOD STAFF
PRICES ARE NOW TOO EXPENSIVE FOR FOOD AND DRINK,ALSO ROOM PRICES ARE GOING UP THEY WILL PRICE THEMSELVES OUT OF THE MARKET
The staff were friendly
The room shook and rumbled every time a large vehichle went past on the main road. With a night bus passing every hour, we got no sleep. There was no room temperature control. There is no direct hotel parking. The bath had hairs in and a dusty radiator and a very noisy ectraxtor fan. There was only one towel with two guests.
Breakfast looked very unappetising Hi
It was obviously a grand hotel in its time Sadly it has become shabby It needs a lot of care & money
Location
The scaffolding around the front of the building The lack of free parking add the very dated feel of the hotel
Staff friendly, bar meals good
Live carpet beetles in room eating carpet. Noisy could hear every movement in other rooms and corridors, everywhere creaked. Breakfasts awful, cold and greasy with very little choice for fruit, yoghurts etc. Decor tired and dated. No attached carpark.
All good
Le confort de la chambre no 302
Trop trop de monde
Great location for the city. Lovely building. The staff were all great & very helpful.
Breakfast wasn't the best but did the job. Hotel obviously hasn't had much investment over the last few years which let's it down a little. Still overall a good place to lay your head in the city.
Nothing covered in scaffolding, very noisy and terrible dark bedroom miles of complicated stairs and narrow corridors. Left without staying
Everything
Un grande appartamento
La puzza nelle scale
I love this hotel there's nothing not to like..staff are friendly... location to town centre is a 2 min walk away...food is fantastic...plenty to choose from on drinks menu...place is very clean and tidy....that's why we keep coming back.
Perfect location! Lovely room. Great food.
Nothing to fault
It was a great location
It’s a very old property but I can see they are in the middle of a renovation
Just what you would expect from a building that is this old. Full of character but tired.
Très bon emplacement avec tout ce qu’il faut dans la chambre
Le lit n’était pas très confortable
Location, staff were great and the quaintness really charming!
My room was very warm and the shower smelled moldy.
Was allowed to take my dog, everything was clean and staff very friendly
L'emplacement et le petit déjeuner
Pas de brosse pour récurer la cuvette des WC
Location stayed many times
Room filthy
The room was a lovely size and good value for money and had some nice little touches. The bar food was also very very nice.
The one thing that let it down was nit having it is own car parking
Location in Perth
Bed sheets were bobbly Very expensive for what it was
De ligging en de geschiedenis
Front of house staff great and the steaks were fantastic
Housekeeping was dreadful
Clean room, nice staff, breakfast okay. While the street is not the nicest, the building is beautiful, and easy access to restaurants etc.
Decor is dated, looks a little down at heel, needs a refresh. My room door did not lock automatically, so had to manually lock it - this is a safety concern. The hallways were confusing, as a number of other buildings had been attached to the original building. .
No breakfast taken
The hotel is tired but very clean and lovely staff.

Location
Old stale smell Elevator not working to 2nd floor
Overnight stay only but was close enough to everything we planned to see. Great location.
Das Frühstück war passabel. Die Qualität der einzelnen Speisen nur sehr durchschnittlich.
Das Bad braucht auf jeden Fall ein update. Alle Fenster sind eher Nachkriegsstandard. Im Speiseraum ist Einfachverglasung und das ganze Fenster fast schon eine Sehenswürdigkeit,
Delicious breakfast. The staff were friendly and professional. The atmosphere was nice
Shower could do with a good clean
Location
The room was noisy and when a big vehicle went by the room shook
La posizione centrale, a dieci minuti a piedi dalla stazione del treno.
Da una struttura con più di 300 anni di storia, mi aspettavo l'eccellenza dell'hotellerie scozzese. Invece ho soggiornato in una struttura datata, sporca e poco confortevole. Ma andiamo con ordine. Al momento della prenotazione, vengo avvisato che l'ascensore non è funzionante: ebbene dopo più di 15 giorni, al momento del mio arrivo, l'ascensore continuava ad essere non funzionante! La camera che mi è stata assegnata (al terzo piano, con rampe di scale da fare con i bagagli) affacciava su un vicolo rumoroso (per via delle ventole di un vicino risperante), era sporca con polvere sopra le mostre delle porte o agli angoli delle pareti, priva di impianto di climatizzazione e frigobar, con un mobilio e un arredamento assai vetusto e frusto. A colazione poi non è stato possibile avere un espresso o un cappuccino. Passi per la poca scelta di prodotti dolciari (disponibili solo una tipologia di cornetto e marmellate) e una colazione per lo più salata, ma possibile che nel 2026 non ci si possa dotare di una macchina professionale per caffè che possa accontentare i gusti e i palati di tutti gli ospiti dell'hotel? Spiace dover lasciare una recensione così negativa ma in rapporto a quanto pagato, l'esperienza è stata del tutto insoddisfacente.
La ubicacion
El hotel está muy deteriorado porque es muy viejo.Necesita una reforma.
The old feeling and history of the hotel
That the lift was broken and we were on the 3rd floor 😂
Dimensioni camera
Vista agghiacciante su un vicolo sporco e piano dí immondizia, nonostante fosse una camera di categoria superiore. Nessuna press usb, abat jours non funzionanti, ascensore rotto e colazione di scarsa qualità. Parchegg
Lo mejor la localización
El baño era todo junto para minusválidos. No había cortinilla, todo se moja.
We had booked superior double which would have been on 3rd floor but as lift wasn't working and with a mobility issue we were given standard twin on 1st floor.
Room looked grotty Bit of a smell
It
Though old, the common areas are well maintained, genteel elegance. Room was clean and well maintained.The best thing? Very quiet!
The lift didn’t work and it was confusing finding my room.
Posizione, camera ampia, parcheggio a pagamento vicino
Struttura un po’ “datata”
Room location was difficult with dog. 3rd floor, no lift.
Location Good food
Beds uncomfortable Bad smell in one of 2 rooms No lift ( we were told before hand just didnt think our 2 rooms would be so far apart and on top level ) No hot water ( had to have keys for another room across the hall )
Easy to find in the center. Quick check in at reception. No lift at the moment. Not a problem for me. Rooms well signposted. Door key. Small single room. Opening window bed 2 pillows wardrobe . Fan. Shower. Table . Chair. Tea/coffee. But not at electric socket. Good nights sleep. Evening meal in the bar saturday reasonable priced.. Breakfast. Good choice fruit yogarts. Full english. The best breakfast ive seen. Self service. A good clean hotel helpfull staff.
Kettle not at socket. Outside scaffolding on the building. Does not affect inside.
Location Staff and ambience
Bumps in bed.
Good central location.
A working lift would have been good! Property looking a little tired.
Being in the centre off the town
No lift working put on 3rd floor lots off stairs too go up & down
Old fashioned in a charming way, very comfortable and the staff were great.
Historic hotel that needs a lot of attention. A bit tired but still beautiful. Staff do well keeping it going. Room was spotless.
Unfortunately the lift was broken during our stay.
Friendly staff and lovely big comfortable bed. Nice choice breakfast.
Perhaps a bit of a climb to the room as we are pensioners.
Good Breakfast.
View from the room wasn’t great.
Booked this hotel for my parents in their 70s and they really enjoyed their stay. Liked how it was central and easy to get to. Clean and comfortable. They will definitely want to return to this hotel.
All the staff we had dealings with were great and everything they could influence they did really positively. Room was very large, newly decorated bathroom
Outside of the room the hotel is a bit like Perth - you can tell it was an affluent, prosperous place at some point in history but is now in decline. Very dated decor, old fashioned room key like a Yale lock, lift was out of order, carpets dated, scaffolding up outside the hotel, very dark bar and reception area, dinning room and corridors creaky and on a slant
Staff and evening meal were excellent
General update of decor wouldn’t go amiss
Good central location. Traditional atmosphere. The staff were all great. We were warmly greeted on arrival and found all the staff to be friendly and helpful.
Our room was very dated. It was described as a superior double but we were disappointed. We usually stay at this hotel whenever we are in Perth, but felt let down this time.
Central location, close to good walks
Staff were friendly and helpful
Extremely dated!
Location is great. It is a comfortable hotel and staff are friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious and clean.
The staff were excellent The hotel is in a good position Breakfast was excellent
Property clearly needing updating but I hope it happens because it has such history and potential
Hôtel en dehors du temps, aux charmes d'antan et avec un personnel accueillant. Havre de paix et parfaitement situé à Perth.
Great location. Easy and quick check in.
Lift was not working. Room was difficult to access due to the amount of stairs. It was not an enjoyable stay. Based on this i would not recommend to anyone with mobility issues. It was terrible.
The location is ideal. Walking distance to the town centre. 10 minute walk to the train station. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The lift wasn’t working.
Good location. parking 5 mins away.
Lift still not working.breakfast not hot enough and could be fresher.not up to the usual standard. outside scaffold seems to have been there a long time with nobody working on it.
Great location for The theatre ,Museum,Art Gallery etc. Lots going on here. Train Station,Bus Station as well. Staff were helpful took my case up to my room as the lift was out of order. The Hotel sent me an email to inform me it was not working,which was helpful. Room was nice and clean and bed comfortable that's a plus for me.good choice on the menus.
My room was overlooking the road at the front of the Hotel so it could be a bit noisy but was not too bad .
Location
Beds were slopping and breakfast tables really bad the hotel must b subsideing nothing is flat
Friendly staff, convenient location
Bed sheets were not made of cotton, water in bathroom difficult to turn on, breakfast too expensive for what it was, hotel very old and run down, internet very bad on third floor and I needed it for work so that was not very good.
Convenient and decent breakfast. Bar and restaurant looked fine but didnt use.
No hot water. Was given a key for a room with water but we couldn't get a new room so had to travel between rooms to use in another part of the hotel. No lift working bit cant be helped. Smell in the room and big wet patch and discolouration on the floor where someone had been sick or an animal person had an accident. Bit shabby but could have overlooked that if the facilities and room had been better.
Location Breakfast Staff
Cleanliness Condition of hotel
In the spirit of openness I go to this hotel every week to a regular dance class (Ceroc). Notwithstanding that I do also stay once or twice a year for dance weekenders even though it’s on my doorstep. This is a gem of a place. It’s over 300 years old. Where else can boast that Bonnie Prince Charlie AND David Bowie have walked through those ancient doors. It has squinty floors, creaks, probably a ghost but it’s the Sally and I love it. It’s got personality and character. It’s not been painted grey and featureless. It has the most magnificent ballroom with air con. It has a beautiful restaurant behind that glorious window at the front. The breakfasts are brilliant, so much better than other hotels with more stars. The haggis is particularly stand out. They serve the best chips but the food in general is good and wholesome. The rooms are clean and housekeeping do it right - I’ve slept in other hotels where a sheet has been chucked in the general direction of a bed and told to make itself. Not the Sally. It’s perfect sheets and hospital corners at the Sally. And last but never least, the staff. They are awesome. Helpful, on it, it’s a joy to watch such hospitality professionals at the top of their game. Right in the centre of Perth, near the river with plenty parking nearby, the Sally is Perth. It’s fabulous!
Posizione in centro città
Siamo arrivati e l'ascensore era fuori servizio. Ci hanno dato una stanza al 3 piano che abbiamo dovuto raggiungere a piedi e con le valigie. Tutti i piani hanno la moquette quindi immaginatevi lo sporco. Al 3 piano ci accoglie un caldo terribile. La stanza era bollente con una finestra rotta che non poteva aprirsi. Siamo scese in reception e quando abbiamo esposto il problema ci hanno detto: "tutto l'hotel è così, è estate! Se volete c'è un ventilatore nell'armadio (info non fornita al checkin). Non ci tornerò più

Third visit to this hotel, the only problem was noise as we were on first floor main road. Will return.
Good size room comfy beds
Happy helpful staff.
Nowhere to put my shampoo or shower gel in the shower. Cracks in the wall. View from room nothing to write home about, it looked onto another part of the building.ò
Prachtig hotel aan de binnenkant. Heel oud en kraakt maar dat geeft charme. Ontbijt was goed! Personeel heel vriendelijk! De buitenkant stond in de steigers en er was een bruiloft maar we hebben totaal geen hinder of overlast ervaren.
Familie kamer met stapelbed, de matrassen in het stapelbed waren niet goed. Prima voor kinderen tot 8 jaar maar niet ouder...
Breakfast was very good.
Room a little tired.
Excellent value for money.
Everything was lovely, I personally don't have the cooked breakfast so having porridge and having other options that was very well presented was a plus on account, my husband had the cooked and found it was very well presented with fresh eggs being cooked to order. Room was lovely and large, view from window wasn't great but we weren't in the room that long for it to worry us.
Broken lift which has been broken for a while as it was mentioned on the time of booking. The car park which is owned or run by Ringo, it would be better to pay for the carpark space at the hotel, like a one off payment at the time of collecting the room key, we had to keep setting reminders as the charge was for only 4 hours at a time.
Ganz tolles Frühstücksbuffet
Central location
Street side room very noisy had same experience last time as well lasted well after 2am
Nice old hotel!
Nothing
Have stayed here several times before. An old tired hotel but a great location and has all that you need for a short stay. Rooms are very clean and tidy with all the usual facilities. Food is good and reasonably priced. Breakfast is great and all you can eat Buffet.
Real shame that many hotels are now doing this!! I like a double room even if on my own. A Double room needs a Double bed - BUT why are there 2 beds pushed together....this is NOT a double bed. It is tacky and not comfortable with a great gap down the middle....completely spoils the stay. If you are going to do this it needs a good thick matress topper....But here...nothing . Just double sheets over 2 single beds. NOT GOOD. In addition the walls in this hotel are very thin and expect to hear your neighbours...shame that so many folks are so selfish and inconsiderate these days and do not have the decency to keep the noise down and not stomp about and slam doors.
En el centro de Perth. Habitación y baño muy cómodos. Desayuno tipo buffet muy rico y abundante variedad
The staff were absolutely lovely Couldn't have been more helpful
The reception was cold The room also was cold and badly in need of updating
Rien
Personnel peu aimable. Chambre sous les toits et abîmée. Ascenseur en panne. Baignoire abîmée. Trop chaud. Pas isolé
I liked the old world charm of the place and the staff were very good. The food was good value for money.
I didn't like that there was no hotel parking so we had to pay to park in a public car park which was £7 for four hours. Not very convenient and all adds to the cost of the hotel stay
A grand old building in the middle off town . The buffet breakfast is fantastic plenty off choice and everything spot on . The staff all did a good job nice bar downstairs and the dinning room is very grand with 3 chandeliers, The bedrooms were a good size and clean if a little dated . There is no car park but was able to park in the multistorey about 5 minutes away and not to expensive.
Ruhige Lage
Sehr altes Haus, ringhörig
Friendly staff on reception and we were able to access the room early
The shower in room 303 barely worked
Pleasantness of staff and efficiency of service.
A bit of modernisation would help. Make more electrical outlets possible as we had to ask for adaptors and unplug the TV in order to be able to charge our phones
Good location
Very creaky and thin door so anytime anyone walked by it sounded like they were coming inside lol
Staff was nice, cool history of the hotel.
Breakfast was really underwhelming, no sweet options provided (I'm not counting cereal in). I don't mind the dated look of the hotel, that is a part of it, but the floors are extremely creeky and it woke me up every time the guests above us would get up. I find it tacky to have everywhere signs of telling you what to and what not to do, but I guess that's a part of the British culture.
