Central location
Breakfast - sausages were not cooked properly, in fact they looked like they came straight out of the packaging.
All but one member of staff was professional, friendly and helpful during my stay. My room was immaculate and comfy and all of the food I was served was delicious, hot and value for money.
One member of staff had clearly not supported a customer with a disability before and I felt I was a 'burden' and difficult during our interaction.
The location and neatness of the facility
The poor treatment i got and the uninformed inflation of my room rate from £48 to £90. Then £101 for 3rd and 4th nights without prior notice. And that made me leave. Non of these attracted complementary breakfast. The wifi password given to me in room 303 never worked. Accessing my room.was a bit difficult as the lift on my wing was not working and I was told it won't work for the period I am there.
Value for money. Great location. Superb breakfast
Lift out of use. Sausage not cooked properly.
Отличное расположение, рядом вокзал, большой торговый центр и собственно, центр города. Персонал приятный, очень внимательный, ни один вопрос не остался без ответа. Номер небольшой, но достаточно уютный, правда, для одежды мало места, в шкафу нет полок. В остальном, всё хорошо, чисто и комфортно. Завтраки неплохие, сытные, стандартный английский завтрак с омлетом/яичницей, с беконом и сосисками, с фасолью и грибами. А вот овощей практически никаких, только кусочки помидоров. Мы заказывали и ужин, он по меню и разнообразный, каждый день можно было выбрать что-то новенькое.))) Всё вкусно! Что ещё понравилось? Можно было оставить вещи в отеле после чек-аута. Трансфер в аэропорт был заказан на 15.00, мы спокойно без вещей гуляли по городу до нужного часа.
Единственное неудобство, не было розеток около кроватей.
The room was nice and clean, the staff were friendly. The hotel is central for the train station middle of town.
The room was on the 5th floor which would normally not be a problem but the lift was not working from the 3rd floor.
Lovely building Very clean Fab location
It was all good
Position.
Lifts not working. We were on fourth floor.
no breakfast
nothing - quite satisfied
Staff lovely room comfy as a deaf/blind person stay there alot know way round feel comfortable
Main lift out of order still knew where room was using other lift
A proximidade à estação central é uma mais valia. O hotel tem um aspeto clássico que traz um revivalismo interessante. Os quartos apesar de pequenos, são confortáveis.
A avaria do elevador implicou uma deslocação demasiado prolongada ao longo do hotel até chegarmos ao nosso quarto, sem que o hotel prestasse qualquer tipo de ajuda no transporte das malas.
Nice big comfortable room
No room service or drinks available to room after the bar closed. Lift only working to third floor
The room was clean and comfortable the food was amazing the staff where brilliant definitely will be back again
Nice and close to railway and bus station
One lift was broken so had to drag suitcase to another lift then had to drag through a maze of corridors once on the 3 rd floor to reach our room on the plus side there was arrows to direct you the right way
Central location
Dirty bed, leaking roof
Reception booking in very easy and very professional young man.. Room was very clean ..Breakfast was exceptionally busy but we were advised of busy time when booking in so avoided peak service..Staff were very busy but acknowledged you when they had time.. They work extremely hard to serve to a high standard..Food quality was excellent Unfortunately only staying for 1 evening
We were happy with everything on our stay. Thank you for all your hard work as a team.
Great location when getting a train to Aberdeen. Staff were also great.
The lay out of hotel clean lovely decor
The mattress was too soft
Location, comfortable beds.
Lack of sound proofing, room above very noisy at 2am with loud talking and creaky floors, no table or surface near plug sockets to rest kettle on, had to sit it on a chair which felt unsafe. No plug sockets near beds.
Excellent room and stay . Very helpful staff, thankyou
Excellent

Loved everything about the stay.
Not applicable as all excellent
Camera spaziosa e ben accessioriata con buona insonorizzazione
L’ ascensore per la nostra camera era fuori servizio e per arrivarci il percorso era un labirinto
The location is fantastic. The reception team member, I think his name was Sergei was outstanding.
It was a two night stay and the room given to me on my first night was pretty poor. I asked to have my room changed for the second night and was given a fabulous room which was really appreciated.
Easy to venue we were attending

Location & breakfast
Hotel is requiring serious upgrading
Location. Across the road from the Station (the clue is in the name!)
2 of 3 lifts were out of order. Our room was on the 4th floor but the lift only went to the 3rd. Then a maze of corridors to find our room. A fire door was wedged open. The room was stuffy; the window didn't open. The decor was very tired. Lamp shades were badly stained. Nowhere to hang towels. Not a single hook in the bathroom.
Letto grande
Una sola macchina per il caffè in un hotel con più di 400 camere
Great location. Good breakfast.
Good sized room . Nice and warm.
The breakfast sausage quality and bacon very dry.
No

The location, it was central and walking distance to train and bus station and shopping malls. Liked the old fashioned atmosphere. The breakfast was very good.
Our room was a bit too hot, couldn’t regulate the temperature.
Second time staying here and it was excellent, great location, clean comfy room send a lovely restaurant. Staff were friendly and very helpful with check in going a breeze. Will definitely stay again
Overall the building and rooms are looking a little tired in areas, they are clean and work fine but just could do with a refresh at some point.
Central to everything and easy to find, staff wete lovely. And room was adequate for our needs.
Nothing
Nothing! Awful, avoid!
Bad customer service, worst place I have ever booked!
Friendliness getting same room again as a deaf/blind person🦯🦯
Lift out of order again used other one got to know way round the floor my mum (82) and myself coming back from tivoli nearly fell up steps going in and out could you please look into getting handrails to hold onto so it can be safer for all that stay at the hotel
Nice and close railway station.
Bit noisy and add service charge to restaurant meals.
El cojunt de l'hotel ,espai habitacions.....
El xoroll del transit
Room was ready meals were excellent.
Damp showing in our room, only an oil filled heater to heat room which had a castor missing so had to find something to balance it on. And this was supposed to be an upgraded room.
Lift out of order. No towel rail in bathroom to hang towels. Mattress not all that comfortable.
It’s very central to everything, me and my partner really enjoyed our stay! The bed was super comfy I had a brilliant night sleep and the food in the hotel was really good!
There wasn’t anything to like about it!
Location and I had a really good sleep!
Just a bit musty scent wise, but the charm of an old building wins out for me!
Stayed many times and will be back. Great staff and a very nice breakfast. Standard room comfortable
Was given a free upgrade due to main lift out off order which was very nice off them but glad I didn't pay extra as in my opinion the room was was not worth paying extra for do will definitely be sticking with a standard double
Value for money

Muy viejo, habitaciones muy deterioradas, fuerte olor a tabaco en la habitacion, solicitamos cambiar. No funcionaba el ascensor hubo que subir las maletas hasta un segundo piso
Great location. We had a nice room for 3 people, lots of space.
Parking for hotel not marked very well, on drive in.
Good food. Clean. Friendly and helpful staff
Price ,friendly staff and location

Spacious room, comfy bed, friendly staff, close to everything we needed
A fan in the room would have been useful
The room was excellent but could have more toiletries fir the amount of people staying and have a bit more breakfast options for guests with diabetes or diet routines such as brown bread or high fibre cereal such as weetabix or all bran
Everything was fine with the area
The comfiest bed ever 😴 And a free upgrade⁹
The view
Location and comfortable
Can be noisy outside throughout the night
Staff were very helpful and approachable.
I always strip my bedding on my stays away from home. I was shocked to see my daughters bed had no under protective sheet. So when we took off the sheet, the mattress was discoloured and stained very badly. We did make a comment to front desk. He was very good at his job. It was a shame the lift was also broken on our stay. But again the staff were very apologetic.
Central to our needs

How fast and efficient they are especially at reception, amazing customer service.
The location it’s easy for me as I get the train first thing in the morning
Very good spacious room looking over to Union Square Always a very good breakfast with plenty of choice
Move the coffee machine away from the breakfast buffet as it is in a place which causes hold ups as it takes a long time to dispense cups of coffee Wiring of bedside lamp in room 215 requires attention as lamp does not operate
Very clean and the room was a good size for my needs
Location

Dim lighting, in need of TLC, water dangerously hot in tap
Close to station and shopping centre Great shower
Location
The lift was out of order!
La posizione, la vicinanza a parcheggio e stazione.
Pulizia pessima, solo 1 ascensore in tutta la struttura, occorreva fare un giro enorme, cattivo odore, scricchioli del parquet.
Nothing to dislike but the room, staff, rice and location were all excellent.
Nothing
Excellent breakfast staff very pleasant
A bath
Loved our stay at the station Hotel. Room was massive and clean. Staff were friendly and approachable about an issue we had and matter was resolved instantly.
The only thing that didn't meet our expectations was the breakfast. It was £14pp for a buffet style hot breakfast, food wasn't warm and the food was tough. We complained to reception and got a refund.
Breakfast excellent, room nice and quiet as requested. Location perfect for our shopping requirements. Staff professional, very nice and welcoming.
Location right across the road from the station
The hotel could use some TLC in some areas
Lovely staff and very nice room-we had kindly been upgraded!
Some of the hotel is looking rather tired and we got the impression that they are slowly revamping it.
Close to shopping
Toilets on landing quite smelly otherwise perfect
Right in the centre of the City
Nothing lovey hotel and location
The breakfast was amazing with lots of choice. All staff are friendly and approachable.
I have stayed lots of times and never had an issue until this stay. My room was cold no heating at all and my shower was like warm. Hoping this was a one off as ive never had any issues before. I never complained as it was just an overnight stay.

Nedslidt hotel hvor tapet hænger i laser fra loftet og døre som ikke kan lukkes. Sengene var nedslidte. Betaling for parkering.
Estilo aristocratico
Falta algo de mantenimiento
Room good, location perfect, bed comfortable.
Flies in breakfast room
God kvalitet for pengene. Centralt.
God frokost
Gamle slitte tepper i gangene
Loved the location and the appearance of the communal areas downstairs
Receptionist didnt instruct me clearly on paying for parking so I paid more than I should and didnt get my discount! Room was dated, bathroom was very disappointing cracked floor tiles, cracked wall tiles, missing radiator that had left the pipes and holes in wall. Bathroom was not clean and had hairs from previous guests on the floor and bath! No plugs near the beds and the bed was so hard and uncomfortable it actually bruised my hips so sleep wasnt great at all. Really disappointed with state of the rooms compared to lower levels which is quite clearly where the ones is spent. The hallway to the lifts has a really bad smell too and it was always there
Location, lounge bar and lifts. Reception.
No air conditioning, poor ventilation, poor water pressure to shower.
Central location adjacent to the bus & train station. Very comfortable room. Superb buffet breakfast. Very attentive and helpful staff. Excellent city centre stay.
Nothing comes to mind.
Was a lovely room! Nice and clean bed was comfortable and staff were friendly
Only thing was a few stans on carpet just need a good scrub but apart from thT everything was spot on
Breakfast excellent. Came back on day we left for afternoon tea - again excellent value.
Lovely old hotel within walking distance to restaurants and sites.
Limited parking options on site. Luckily we were able to get one of the few remaining.
Good location.
Checkout process was long. No quick drop box for keycards. Staff on reception were nice but didn’t acknowledge you when passing or make you feel welcome by saying a simple hello. Slight unpleasant smell in the room from the bathroom
Very clean, comfy stay, welcoming staff
We really needed a bath mat as it was really slippy coming in and out the bath, my older sister suggested a lot as she’s got special needs
Good choice
staff pleasant very good meals
the mattress was so uncomfortable
Love the location. Really central
Floor had a heavy slant and you could feel it when sleeping . Also the roof had some questionable liquid/stain on it in bright orange .
The hotel is 15 mins walk from the centre. Nice breakfast and room was pretty comfortable
I reserved a parking and when arrived at the hotel they guided me to the hotel parking lot, after some days I found that I was fined for parking there. Its ridiculous when contacted the management they told me that they could do nothing. So please be aware when you park there.

The room very old and tired Creaking floor boards Cracked window Terrible oulook
Хорошее месторасположение, нам нужна была одна ночь недалеко от вокзала, так как рано утром уезжали в Эдинбург. Отель нас приятно удивил, нам повысили категорию номера без доплаты и номер был очень большой. Всё чисто и аккуратно, приятный персонал на рецепшене. Заказывали завтрак и ужин, обслуживание быстрое и всё достаточно вкусно.
Единственное замечание, окна были очень грязные, но так как у нас была одна ночь, то спокойно это пережили, но помыть окна всё-таки желательно.:))
Convenient location opposite the railway station.
Creaky lift.
Very central location and walking distance to Union Street. Nice common areas and restaurant (we did not try it). Room clean and decent size, but bit on the older side. Good price breakfast (add on for £10pp).
El alojamiento es una pasada y además huele bien por todos lados(no sé cómo lo hacen!), el personal muy amable también!
La ubicación, el hotel no tiene la culpa, pero por todos lados del hotel y al estar al lado de la estación, hay mucho drogadicto y no da gusto pasear de noche
The clue's in the name. It is very handy for the train station, but also convenient for the Northlink Ferries to Orkney/Shetland. I had to leave early, so didn't have breakfast, but had a good High Tea after I got to the hotel. I would certainly stay there again
Location was excellent. Staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was okay.
Bedroom doors did not close properly. My daughter did not feel safe because she was unsure her door was secure. She jammed a chair in front.
Always nice staff .comfortable rooms. Location is great.
Central location with overnight parking close by at very reasonable price. Comfortable room with super shower. Good self service breakfast.
Lots of road works in the vicinity but once inside hotel had no impact on the enjoyment.
