Very Nice Time
Really nice time staying, staff were friendly and the hotel was quiet despite being close to the city centre. My room was a bit too warm for me otherwise the room itself was lovely. Hotel is in a really convenient location and was only a 5-10 minute walk away from the station.

Great stay, very firm bed
Desk staff are friendly and helpful. Gave some recommendations and like that they have a partnership with two restaurants that offer discounts to those staying in the hotel. You can hear everything in the hallways, but I didn't find guests loud or hear noises throughout the night. I'm not a fan of firm mattresses and the bed was too hard for my comfort. I even used the extra blanket to try and cushion but it didn't help. All beds are full size, and rooms have a good amount of space comparatively to other hotels in Scotland.
