Excellent property and great value for money! Traditional room was very clean. Huge bed. En-suite modern and very clean. Everything in working order. Great quiet little street with plenty parking spaces. Hotel situated in the quieter North side of the town which suited us. About a mile walk from town center.

The Golden Sands Hotel was a great wee stay. It was clean and in a safe enough area. Its location was just beside the Grand hotel which is a good landmark for getting off the tram. Jim the host was very nice and friendly, and went out his way to research food options for a gallstone diet. We would stay again.

From the minute we walked in, we was felt really really well we treated was really happy with the stay. I’m giving it 10 out of 10 cause I’m very happy with the place. It was lovely and spotlessly clean the bed was lovely and comfy. Nothing was too much trouble.. they no longer do cooked breakfast though which was a little bit of a letdown for me but not a problem. The guy dealt with it in a really good way so I was happy with that as well. Would I stop here again? yes 100% really enjoyed our day.
