    Thoroughly enjoyed an electric kettle, central heating and an iron in the room. All the staff were amazingly nice and knowledgeable. The friendly service and the attention to detail! Lucky me, got ironing free of charge too. The hotel had an easy location metres from St ninians.

    Spotlessly clean, the Beautiful King Room offered a comfortable stay complemented by cute staff. The bus stop nearby was convenient for accessing the city center and the airport. Enjoyed the homemade pastries at the pub.

    spacious backyard
    family-friendly atmosphere
    lack of swimming pool

    The kids loved the spacious backyard where they could run around and play. The seating was comfortable, and we appreciated the tv for family movie nights. The staff offered fantastic recommendations for nearby attractions.

    My kids wished for a pool to splash around in .

    The room was impeccably clean with lovely decor, and I found the amenities nearby very convenient. The staff were friendly and accommodating, assisting with my needs promptly. The food at the pub was fantastic, particularly the breakfast options available.

    Occasionally, noise from adjacent rooms could be heard.

    beautiful room
    private entrance
    uncomfortable bed

    The room was beautifully done, and that shower? Divine! Plus, loved having a private entrance to escape the noise of the bar.

    But goodness, that bed seemed like a medieval torture device! I think I met more springs than I should have.

    fresh haddock
    cozy atmosphere

    A Mixed Bag Stay

    Had a cozy 3-night stay with my partner. Dining was a highlight. The fresh haddock in fish and chips was so great. On the downside, the cleanliness of our room left much to be desired, particularly the bathroom. Would advise the management to address these issues .

    busy bar noise

    The room was nicely decorated and super clean. It felt cozy and trendy, awesome. The bed was comfortable, so we slept really well. It was a bit small for our liking. It was surprisingly quiet even with the busy bar downstairs during rugby weekend.

    great location
    noisy neighbors
    small room
    inadequate heating

    Loved the shower in the Beautiful King Room. The bed felt cozy, and the decor gave a nice vibe. Staff. Convenient access to the city with nearby bus stop. Had some trouble with noise from the bar downstairs. Music was loud until late. Could hear neighbors talking at times, which disturbed my sleep. The room size was smaller than expected, especially with luggage around. Had an issue with the heating. The space heater was quite noisy. Still, the room looked clean overall and well-designed, though it could benefit from better soundproofing. Enjoyed my time at the pub downstairs, especially the breakfast options. Would stay again if improvements were made to the noise levels.
