We booked this hotel as it was close to the city centre and provided (paid) parking.
Our room was very clean but the decor within as well as throughout the hotel is very dated and could do with a freshen up.
Breakfast can be added on for £12 per person. It was ok.

It was a decent stay. They were slow to provide room service. We had to ask multiple times for them to finally do it. The walls are also pretty thin so keep that in mind. The location was pretty good as well

The property was such a 'vibe' honestly, its a relief having a hotel window with a gorgeous view of a forest and river to wake up to! Also, an excellent working shower....not as common as it should be! Can't fault the venue and am so eager to come stay again asap

Was comfortable and clean enough. Fairly well situated for access onto Princess Street. Enough parking spaces.
Could do with a few more comfortable chairs for anyone using the bar.
It suited my needs for a one night visit.
