Guests appreciate the reasonably spacious rooms, some of which feature modern bathrooms, while the adjacent bar is noted for its atmosphere and Scottish breakfast, including the black pudding and haggis.

The room included great amenities. I appreciated the complimentary drink at the bar upon arrival. The Scottish breakfast set me up for exploring each day. It was AMAZING!!! I found the location convenient, with easy access to bus routes into the city centre.
