Reviews and Ratings
I had a bit of difficulty finding my room initially, but once settled, I found it tiny with some maintenance issues like low water pressure in the shower and black mold on the window panes. The noise from the street disturbed me until late at night, and the manager was not very pleasant to deal with. On the bright side, the hotel is in a convenient location and offers basic amenities.
The hotel is quite central and easily accessible to John O Groats and other locations. The rooms are a little dated but very clean and comfortable, and the staff is welcoming and friendly. The dining experience includes a generous continental breakfast for an extra £10 per person. Parkin is easy to find, although limited, in a safe enough area.
The hotel is in a convenient location, good for catching the ferry, although a bit noisy at night. Rooms can feel like a labyrinth to find, with street noise making it hard to sleep through the night.
The hotel had grand and lovely rooms, but it was inconvenient to reach them due to the long passageways with steps. Unfortunately, there was no wifi as advertised, and the staff couldn't assist. The service was welcoming, but with no clear guidance from management. The location was good for various activities, though parking was limited. The dining experience was lacking, and the facility needed improvements.
The hotel rooms, though a bit dated, were very clean and provided all the necessities for a comfortable stay. The service was friendly and helpful, though a bit lackluster at times. The location was convenient, being within walking distance of the town center but lacked a bit in ambiance. The dining experience was hit-or-miss, with some generous offerings but also some disappointing meals. Overall, a good value for money with clean rooms and a friendly staff.
The hotel is centrally located, making it easily accessible to various attractions. While the rooms have been refurbished, some areas like corridors could use more attention. The staff is dedicated to improving service standards, but there were some issues with dining room compliance with regulations.
