Top Doune Castle Hotel Reviews

citizenM Glasgow

8/10 Good

"Small but very comfortable room, great bed, flexible breakfast and kind staff. My only issue was the elevator problem. There was only one elevator and it was always slow and crowded. Long waits and often too full to get on so you had to wait even longer. Otherwise, it was a great stay but the elevator was a big issue."
