This hotel is convenient to the train station and the main street with the restaurants and pubs. It is a nice hotel, a little tired. But perfect for our one night stay. The pubs and restaurants were nice and easy to get to.
Extremely helpful reception staff when it came to assisting with parking and providing information about the hotel - even organised someone to assist with luggage. Breakfast was very good.
Room are very tiny, painted but smells horrible like in a chemical factory. I don’t expect a great interior but it’s just old retired interior and they are due an upgrade. For the price they are charging £100 per night at minimum, better invest some money in your property. Stairs are horrible, why there is no lift. Anybody old age don’t book this hotel and if it’s the only option then ask for ground floor rooms. Staff looks least interested, parking is a pain and most likely you may have to park in the paid car park (payable from 830am for max 3 hours). All in all, try to book one of bnbs at lake side which are hit away from the main center
The hallways up to the bedrooms look quite tired but I got a pleasant surprise when I entered my bedroom and found it to be large, clean and nice looking. I had a really comfortable sleep the 2 nights I was there without any noise disturbance (I find it hard to sleep if there's much noise). Breakfast was good.
Cute older hotel with water views. My room had a jetted tub great for relaxing. Great little bar and very good food at the restaurant. Very diverse menu, something for everyone. Perfect location close to everything.
The Staff were friendly, accomodating and very helpful. The location and ease of parking was great. The overall state of the facility, especially the rooms, furniture and fixtures were disappointing. It is in desperate need of a refresh/renovation. Cost for the accommodation was fair given the location and availability however we did expect a nicer facility. The breakfast was adequate.
This hotel was terrible. The receptionist was sittinv in a dirty pinkbpuffa coat, no eyr contact, not friendly. No lift, no offer of help with luggage so had to drag my case upstairs. On entering the room the first thing i saw was the filthy windows and could just make out the metal fire escape taking up the whole view. The room was very small, dated and felt cold and dirty. There was no way id spend a night thete. Another guest kindly took my case back down for me as i need to hold the rail with both hands to ho down. When i went to reception she just shrugged and said well youre not gettingvyour money back but i could mot stay thete it was do bad
We couldn’t see the loch from our room due to the condensation on the windows. The window frames were thick with dirt and mould. There was also mould in the bathroom where water from the shower collected on a shelf above the bath. This was charged as a “superior room” - would hate to see the state of the other rooms. Furniture dated and battered. Heavy traffic noise kept me awake most of the night.
Staff were fantastic and very helpful so no complaints on that front. Food in the restaurant was nice and not too pricey. The only downside was the cost of the room but it seemed on about the same price as other places in the area.

Liked: Staff & service
Property is very outdated, no lifts which makes a little complicated for older people. Every room has carpets. I would say it’s fair for a night stay, they offer breakfast but the building itself is old.
Moldy bathroom. Pretty sure there was black mold in there. I became ill after staying there. Employees were lazy and borderline rude at the check-in desk.
