The only thing that doesn't put this hotel in a negative points category is the friendly staff and the fact that's it's connected to the train station. This was hands down the filthiest property I've ever stayed in. The walls and and doors were dirty, the extra toilet paper was stored in the shower, the inside of the comforter ( the part you cover up with) had stains and was dirty to the point we slept on top of it and on our towels. We originally had planned to go back to Edinburgh around 1 pm after our 2nd night but changed our train tickets for 645am so we could get out of there. Also be aware that EVERYTHING closes thier kitchens at 9pm so there's not a place that will seat you for "dine in" after 8:30. We were turned away from 5 restaurants and finally settled on McDonalds as that was our only food option. In my opinion, the staff could probably let patrons know this.
Located just outside the train station, it was so convenient to be able to get to transit, restaurants, pubs, shopping and nearby sites. The hotel was comfortable and quiet. The room could get a little stuffy as the windows do not open and there is no A/C. Would definitely stay here again.
I am astounded that you have went through Covid and looks like you missed a chance to upgrade the beautiful property. Who paints a room dingy yellow. That hotel should have stunning paper. The light switch wall was filthy. The tiles in bathroom hanging off wall. Why is your towel rail burning hot, I burnt myself even though there is an notice. Curtains OMG disgusting. Beautiful comfy bed. Seriously the cost is disgusting for what you get. When I seen the state of the place I couldn’t eat in it. We were leaving early you are missing a chance to serve early breakfast. Hotel in stornaway offered continental from 5am. The entrance stairs are beautiful do not let it end their.

The hotel is charming. The surrounding is quite noisy. Train, buses, motorcycles etc. The room was a good size with 2 beds. The floors cracked and the elevator was slow. The room and the bathroom were very clean.
