Lovely building, great location bang in the middle of the historic city of Dunfermline, in the Kingdom of Fife. Great breakfast, but disappointed in Scotland that there was a thin choice of whisky.

I had booked a king size room and was given an interconnecting room. We could hear everything from that room ie when they were walking to the bathroom during the night it sounded like they were in our room. Also we could hear them clearly in the bathroom. We were then wakened very early and couldn’t get back to sleep. Was a shame as everything else was great but the room was terrible

One of my favourite places to stay

I stay at this hotel often as it’s got excellent transport links by rail and bus to central Edinburgh but without the expensive prices . Excellent breakfast in the mornings, comfy rooms and lgbt friendly staff What’s not to like
Dunfermline railway station is nearby and 12 minutes walk from the hotel
