We were given an apartment rather than a room. It was very spacious, comfortable and fitted out to a high standard. We were provided with a fantastic selection of food to make breakfast. The staff were lovely and the hotel is very central in Montrose town centre.

The room was fine. Small, but the three of us made it work. The bathroom and shower were good. If we were staying in town longer I would have booked something more expensive, but for the price and one night, We're happy.

We booked an overnight here while attending a surprise 50th birthday party. We were met by Bruce who showed us to our apartment, we were over the moon with it, it was absolutely 1st class. We finished our night off in The Star Hotel bar downstairs, so was just a short trip upstairs to bed, which i thought would have been noisy tbh, but we never heard a thing. We would definitely recommend staying here, great little place.

This is an old coaching inn so no lifts and a lot of stairs to get to the rooms. Our requested twin room wasn't available but we were given the one bedroom apartment and another room instead. This was fine as we could cook instead of going to restaurants. The proprietors had also given us some supplies such as eggs, bacon, milk tec, which was very generous. The bar downstairs was more of a young person's place but I didn't hear much of the music at night. Parking was in the Argos car park nearby. The area was off the main street, built up and a bit run down. However, much of Montrose centre seemed a bit neglected. The check-in had to be arranged beforehand but it worked out ok, with a young man there to let us in. The hotel seems to be getting upgraded bit by bit and the apartment was large with a good kitchen and a double bedroom.

We enjoyed our stay in the oldest hotel in Montrose! The showers, staff and beds were great! We arrived on a night when the bar area was not open and so had to call for someone to come and let us in and they were there in 5 minutes😊

What's not to like? Nice clean room with little extras like a bottle of water, and shampoo and shower gel, which are thoughtful and appreciated. Excellent staff, and had a brilliant full Scottish breakfast cooked for me fresh. Would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to the staff for a pleasant stay.

The room was fine. Clean and comfortable but the feel is more a room to rent rather than a hotel. The bar was closed and not really a hotel feel.

Stayed the one night when looking for a stopover, hotel looks nothing special from outside but made welcome and the room was very good, bed comfortable and shower room nice. My wife asked if they had vegetarian options for breakfast and they went and got vegetarian sausages and oat milk for her.
My only criticism would be cooked breakfast could have been warmer as we like ours really hot.
We would stay again.

Basic but it gets the important stuff right.
Comfortable beds and bedding with a clean well kept bathroom. The public spaces and corridors are a bit glum but the staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. It can get a bit rowdy at the weekends but I slept through it all. You get a decent breakfast including vegetarian option included.

We had a superb room, top floor, with a brand new updated bathroom, lovely towels. The stairs were steep but in a hotel built in 1765 that was understandable. The entrance was a bit of a surprise but the staff were sincere and hugely accommodating. They are the heart of the business! I look forward to seeing this hotel continue to keep it’s character and continue to work on its check in.

The staff were nice and friendly and the room was clean as was the bathroom. No reception and six flights of stairs to our room. Towels were not changed or room even looked at . Seagulls at 430 am on next roof woke us. Breakfast was pitiful although advertised as English, there was no hot options and the carpet was filthy in that area. My wife said she would be very uncomfortable if she was staying on her own. This is not really a hotel, more of a room above a club slash pub. You feel as though you are the only ones there.
