Everything! The owner was helpful, informative and generally very welcoming. Room, breakfast and location spot on. Will definitely stay again if in the area, the best value for money we have had on our trip. Thank you
Nothing not to like
Spotlessly clean & the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, particularly Graeme. Conveniently situated a short walking distance from the town centre.

Sehr netter Gastgeber und tolles Frühstück. Sauberes Haus und Zimmer. Leider hat uns Perth nicht besonders gefallen, aber die Unterkunft war gut!
staff were so friendly and helpful

Excellent service, clean and comfortable spacious room. Had a great night's sleep and a lovely breakfast the next day.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay and couldn’t fault a thing. The room was lovely, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with an excellent modern en suite. Breakfast was amazing — and the black pudding was genuinely incredible! Definitely one of the highlights. What really stood out, though, was the service. From the moment we arrived, everyone was so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We requested a late check-out, which was no problem at all, and even though we completely forgot to submit our breakfast request the night before, the team couldn’t have been more helpful. A genuinely wonderful stay with fantastic hospitality. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in Perth. Highly recommended!
Not being able to stay another night.

Frühstück perfekt, dass ist 5/5 Sterne und würdig für ein 4 Sterne Hotel.
Bad, zu klein, zu eng.und nicht mehr in Ordnung für 3 Personen. Punkte 1,5 von 5. Zimmer ist kein Familienzimmer, Klappbett ist drittes Bett, Punkte 3 von 5. Daher war der Preis mit ca. 270,- Pfund, UK pro Nacht deutlich zu viel. Es ist nicht einmal so richtig Lage, aber dem 1 Km kann man dann laufen. Zu dem ist Perth nicht wirklich ein Hingucker als Stadt.
Clean and spotless Bathroom. Breakfast
Soft bed, used to firm mattress, but clean
Lovely room and huge comfortable bed
La colazione personalizzata, la camera pulita edai colori rilassanti, il parcheggio comodissimo sul retro della struttura. Bella vista sul giardino. La posizione ad una piacevole passeggiata di 10 mins dal centro.

Very nice and small hotel. Very good breakfast and quiet room. Car park for free. 10min to city, on the way a nice park with flowers. 10min by car to Scone palace.
All OK. No dinner.
Very nice place. Quiet and fabolous. Very clean. Breakfast very good.
Instalaciones impecables, camas cómodas, desayuno muy bueno con opciones para escoger. Sala común agradable

Lovely B&B with comfortable rooms and a fabulous breakfast! Our family of three adults were challenged to find lodging in a single room, but Sunbank House had rooms designed for three! Very comfortable room & amenities! Conveniently located with restaurants just a short walk over the bridge, which included a beautiful view of the river and Cathedral, which made the walk that much more enjoyable! Breakfast was a treat! More choices than other B&Bs, with pancakes, smaller portions, and more! Great portions and delicious food! Perth is a lovely town outside of St. Andrews and Falkland, which provided easy access without the extra expense and crowds!
Good breakfast Great location Lovely decor
Tiny bathroom
Tolles Hotel, super Personal und mit viel Liebe geführt
Nein, alles super
Excellent location, comfortable room with a fabulous shower. The breakfast is a a pre-order but that worked extremely well for us, everything was cooked to order and really tasty, served immediately..hot 😋
Maybe offering a light snack of soup & sandwiches in the Lounge/bar area would solve guests having to walk into the City for food..not a criticism just a personal suggestion.
Sehr gutes Frühstück. Parkplätze vorhanden.
Kein Lift.
ottima posizione in quartiere residenziale al di là del fiume rispetto al centro storico (raggiungibile a piedi), che la sera è un po' decadente e desolato. la struttura è elegante e con begli spazi comuni, e la camera era dotata di tutto il necessario, letto comodo. buona colazione.
lo staff è composto da una sola persona, che dunque non può avere alcuna flessibilità rispetto agli ospiti (ad esempio: farti appoggiare in camera le valige prima di pagare, anche se arrivi dopo un viaggio in macchina di 10 ore e pur avendo prenotato con booking, che garantisce a priori tutti i dati.. compresa la carta di credito; all'interno della fascia oraria prevista, non obbligarti a fissare un orario preciso e inderogabile per la colazione, anche se sei in vacanza o hai necessità di partire a una certa ora...). la proprietà dovrebbe decisamente considerare di implementare lo staff, almeno in estate / l'ingresso del parcheggio non è segnalato su strada, e poiché la strada è ad alta percorrenza, abbiamo perso l'entrata ben due volte.. inserire la segnaletica sarebbe una gentilezza, soprattutto per chi non guida abitualmente a destra / la nostra stanza era piccola e al piano terra, bagno minuscolo, ok per una notte sola, non oltre.
Lovely cooked breakfast and the staff lovely
The bathroom bit small and shower
Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en goed verzorgd.
Zowel foto's als reviews kunnen behoorlijk misleidend zijn! Wij verwachtten in een landelijk viersterren hotel aan te komen, maar het was een soort B&B aan een drukke doorgangsweg. Zeker geen 4 maar maximaal 3 sterren waard. De ontvangst was lauw. We hadden een standaardkamer geboekt en kwamen terecht in een armzalig, donker kamertje waar je je gat niet kon keren. Het bed was smalletjes. De badkamer was klein en de douche levertje een slap straaltje water af. Van kamer veranderen was niet mogelijk. Een zeer teleurstellende ervaring.
Cet hôtel est typique. Tout le confort est là, dans un établissement qui ressemble à une grande maison familiale. Très bon accueil et très bon petit déjeuner. De plus l'hôtel se trouve à 10 minutes à pied du centre-ville
Rien, si ce n'est un petit manque de prise électrique. Mais ce n'est vraiment pas grand chose
Goede locatie met nette, mooie kamers. Zeer vriendelijk onthaal en perfect ontbijt!

Breakfast was great
Sunbank House was an amazing experience and the owner was very friendly and helpful! We’ll definitely book it again the next time we’re visiting Perth. Wonderful gardens to see and great location for hikes. Close to the centre of Perth. A lovely bar in the Sunbank House, where we enjoyed good whisky’s!
Friendly welcome on arrival. The room was immaculate and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. There was lots of hot water and a good powerful shower in a spacious bathroom. The breakfast was exceptionally good, fresh quality produce.
Lovely clean, quiet room with good shower en suite. Breakfast good. Staff friendly and helpful.
L'accueil du gérant, la propreté et la taille de la chambre ainsi que le petit déjeuner de très bonne qualité.
Finely made the stay. Lovely hotel amazing.
Nothing everything was great.
The location, the rooms, the staff, the breakfast were all really good.
Nothing. The only thing to be honest about is that it’s an old building so some of the finishing isn’t perfect but everything was comfortable and clean and would definitely stay again
Good location. Warm welcome from friendly staff. Very clean throughout with lovely decor and furnishings. Bathroom was newly decorated and was exceptionally clean. Good breakfast served by attentive and friendly staff. Communal areas were very comfortable with a lovely feel.
Reception entrance and area didn't give the best impression and looked a bit 'tired' but once passed this, all other areas were very well presented. Our room was very clean and comfortable with everything needed for 1 night but it was very small and if we had been staying longer it wouldn't have been big enough. Shower was very under powered. High price for 1 night.
The hotel is located close to the centre of Perth, a shortish walk down the road after crossing over South Bridge. We walked there after arriving by train with small suitcases, and received a warm welcome. Our room was ensuite with a large, comfortable double bed, good blackout curtains, a comfy chair, with tea, coffee and biscuits provided. The kettle and mugs were found in a bottom drawer. An excellent, silent blade fan was discovered in the wardrobe. Breakfast choices are made the evening before, with a chosen specified time. Breakfast was taken in a comfortable dining room at a table specified for the room. We would happily return next time we visit Perth.
A minor point: I would have liked the choice of mushrooms in the non veggie options

i had an excellent stay at Sunbank hotel - they couldnt have been more helpful as i arrived really late. Very comfortable toom, lovely breakfast and great location.
Schönes altes Haus, gute Lage, preiswert
Etwas altmodisch - british style
staff very pleasent
value for money poor
Good helpful staff member, nice clean room, good bathroom, good breakfast.
Musty smell in corridor. No restaurant.
Superbe maison, chambre confortable décorée avec goût. Excellente literie, très bon petit déjeuner. Emplacement idéal pour visiter Perth avec un parking !

It is a guest house or small hotel in walking distance of Perth center. The decor was classic with luxurious fabrics and carpet. The staff was pleasant and helpful.
The parking spots are a little tight, but I think that is typical in the UK
ottima colazione
This is a nice and quite hotel, the room was what i was expecting, with everything that you require. Breakfast was amazing. Easy walk into the town centre.
I can't think of anything.
The reception area feels a little dated and does not quite create the four-star first impression one might expect. On arrival, we carried our own luggage to the room and had to find our way there ourselves. While neither of these points is a major issue, they do detract from the overall guest experience. I have always believed that you never get a second chance to make a first impression, so front-of-house presentation and service are particularly important. A warmer welcome, assistance with luggage, and a more guided arrival experience would significantly enhance the perception of the property. Overall, this is a very good-quality guest house offering comfortable accommodation and expensive at £170 for one night, I would say should be in the more £125 range but it falls short of what I would normally associate with a true four-star hotel experience.
On arrival, there was no food available whatsoever, not even a sandwich. For a property describing itself as a four-star hotel, this was disappointing. I appreciate that the hotel only serves breakfast, but there was no room service or alternative food provision available. Given that this was a Saturday afternoon rather than an out-of-hours arrival, I would have expected at least some basic catering options for guests. While this may not be an issue for everyone, it does fall short of the level of service typically associated with a four-star establishment.
Diese Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral, für einen Stadtbesuch zu Fuß. In diesem Hotel,ist alles sehr sauber, geräumig und die Zimmer sind sehr gut ausgestattet. Tolles Bett,wir können nichts negatives erzählen. Auch das Frühstück war sehr lecker, es wurde komplett auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Wir können dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Couldn’t really find that out.
Great location & easy walk to eat in the town centre. Comfortable bed, good shower & excellent breakfast. Really appreciated the quality bathroom products provided & lovely thick towels

The breakfast was spot on. Lovely view from bedroom window.
It is a charming more traditional hotel
There are no lifts so guests should ask for the reception staff to carry heavy cases up the stairs
El trato con el Director fue espectacular, muy amigable y cercano
Great location. Very clean. Owner was very helpful.
Goede kamer, prima uitgebreid ontbijt en na wat heen en weer schuiven toch plaats voor onze 3 klassieke auto's. Op korte loopafstand van centrum.
Ontvangst was niet erg vriendelijk , de gastheer draaide later wel wat bij maar bleef erg afstandelijk. Centrum van Perth is erg vervallen met veel leegstaande winkels.
El desayuno estaba muy bueno. El chico nos atendió con mucha atención.
La habitación era muy pequeña. Me esperaba una habitación grande porque éramos 3. Además un hotel de 4 estrellas no debería tener una cortina de tela en un plato de ducha tan pequeño, la presión del agua, además muy baja. Una lástima estos detalles.
Good car parking and fantastic view from breakfast. Clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast
Slightly dated, bathroom small
De vriendelijke gastheer, de kalme gezellige sfeer, het uitgebreide ontbijt

Vackert gammalt hus med fina rum. Mycket trevlig personal och jättebra frukost.

Good location to see the Bankley garden.
Friendly welcome, comfortable room, good views and lovely gardens. A bonus was the cosy guest lounge/bar with woodburner stove. Plenty of parking and only a short walk into the centre of Perth or to Branklyn gardens. Breakfast was very good.
Nothing. We knew it didn't have a restaurant for dinner, so made our own arrangements.
Good location with private parking. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast. 50 min for airport.
Bed was uncomfortable and everything was squeaky. Very narrow room. Bathroom wasn’t super clean.
We so enjoyed the location. It was an easy walk into town. It was a short walk to the Botanical gardens. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great. Bed was comfortable. Facilities were clean and easy parking.
A mirror on the vanity would be a great asset for those of us using a curling iron. The cord of the provided hair dryer was plenty long to use the long mirror but my personal curling iron was a little more awkward.
Comfortable, quiet, easy to find, nice breakfast, friendly staff
A shame the restaurant was closed for evening meal so I had to make alternative arrangements.
Clean, well-appointed room. Comfy bed. Great breakfast. Good service with great pre-arrival comms detailing local restaurants etc. Quiet after 10pm despite having a ground floor room next to residents lounge. Ten minute walk to town using the nearby footpath across the railway bridge and island - a great way to approach Perth centre. We found it about a 25-minute amble to the railway station - dodgy knee...
Chambres élégantes et cozy
Sdb un peu exiguë
Hotel had bar. Very comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Easy walk to Bracklyn Gardens
Walk into town. Although going via Heather Gardens took you off the road for much of the way.

Breakfast was excellent. Wide selection. Plentiful as well.
We would have liked a refrigerator.
The hotel was immaculate, breakfast was excellent, could not fault anything .
La chambre familiale Le petit déjeuner était fabuleux
Centre de la.ville un peu loin. Nous avons du prendre la voiture
A great position overlooking the river in pretty grounds and an easy and scenic walk into Perth city centre.
It felt a bit overpriced for what is essentially a bed and breakfast house rather than hotel. The rooms are quite cramped and the common areas on the small side as well.

host molto gentile, stanza non grandissima ma dotata di tutti i comfort. Colazione top!
Spacious bedroom -nicely decorated . Excellent breakfast, cooked to order.
I don’t like shower curtains.
Struttura molto caratteristica ed accogliente, la stanza aveva una ottima vista sulla cittadina. Molto bella anche la sala comune dove si può portara un libro e leggere davanti al caminetto. In generale molto bello.
La colazione era buona, ma ci vorrebbe trasparenza sui prezzi

Lovely large house. Our room had everything needed for a comfortable stay. It is near a road but you don’t hear the traffic due to the double glazing & good heavy curtains. We had a lovely view of the garden from our room (10). We made use of the guest lounge/bar during our stay. Staff were very friendly & helpful. The location is good, 10mins walk to the centre of town. We enjoyed excellent breakfasts.
Good location. Nice staff.
Poor water pressure in shower, was just a trickle and difficult to shower. Poor quality breakfast, didn’t finish. Bad coffee, also didn’t finish. Lock on front door didn’t work, had to phone at midnight for staff to open the door.
Very well placed for a walk into Perth. The owner was hospitable and helpful. Very straightforward accommodation.
The room overlooking the front of hotel and river was large, attractive and very clean. The king size bed and pillows were very comfortable. The breakfast was lovely and the staff pleasant and helpful. The parking and walking distance to town make it a good choice, we would definitely stay again if in the area.
Nothing, all was good
Nice comfortable accommodation. Nice breakfast.
