Top Doune Castle Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Glasgow

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was extremely disappointing and offered very little choice. There were no healthy options available, which was particularly disappointing. The only egg option was scrambled eggs apparently made from a carton with double cream, prepared in a plastic container in a microwave. The presentation and preparation were very unappetising, and the overall quality was not what I would expect from a hotel breakfast. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also unpleasant. The kitchen staff were talking and laughing very loudly, which was disturbing and made it difficult to enjoy breakfast in a relaxed environment. The service was equally disappointing. On two occasions, a waiter removed my coffee from the table while I was still there, without checking whether I had finished and without even apologising. This felt very inattentive and unprofessional. Overall, the breakfast experience was poor, both in terms of food quality and customer service. There is definitely room for significant improvement."

Colessio

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Broomhall Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is very nice and the room is very clean"

Revolver Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is kind. Bunk beds and the rooms always clean. The hostel is the perfect spot near everything, especially since it’s near that train or bus station that walkable distance to travel back to the airport or go explore the rest of Scotland. But since it’s in Merchant City, it can get noisy at night with people hanging around the local bars talking snd yelling loudly. But the stay provide earplugs in the room which is nice,"

DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central

10/10 Excellent

"Really liked this hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Big room with comfortable beds"

The Golden Lion Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, wonderful vibe, fair pricing. The building is very old and has a great atmosphere, incredible lobby bar and the lobby is well decorated, but there is not much for refinements, its a great spot, and would stay again, but dont expect 5 star."

The Stirling Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was good with plenty of room and a large king size bed which was comfortable, Bathroom was good if a bit old fashioned. Staff friendly and helpful. There are a lot of stairs in the hotel, think carefully if you struggle to walk up or down stairs. There were two large coach parties staying so the restaurant was very full and it took us more than 2 hours to get our dinner."

Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Really enjoyed my stay. Staff were great and the food was lovely. Didn't get a chance to check out the amenities."

Richmond Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel and convenient for the bus to Edinburgh Airport. Reasonable priced. Didn't use the restaurant. Some of the rooms have great views over the river Forth"
