On arrival we were warmly greeted and informed where breakfast would be served and explained where our room was. The room was huge in size, light, airy and tastefully decorated. The en-suite was a good size and cleaned to a high standard as was the room. Breakfasts were amazing, VERY generous portions and well cooked. The staff there were really great, nothing was too much trouble. They took time to cater for your needs. Very polite, professional and dedicated. The location of the hotel was ideal, within walking distance of Dundee city which made it great for the V&A museum. On street parking in this quiet area was a bonus. I certainly recommend this hotel for your stay.

Overnight stop whilst visiting relative in hospital. Large room and en-suite. Breakfast very good although should just be called full breakfast, not Scottish breakfast as no Haggis or Black pudding. Catered for my wife's dairy and gluten intolerances.

I checked into the hotel..had booked for one night as a solo traveller as at a gig in Dundee. Plenty of free parking outside the hotel which is a bonus. The owner of the hotel met me at the front door and checked me into room 5 quickly, she was very friendly and was helpful. The room was quite small ..there was a curtain over the door for the bathroom...was filthy and looked like it had not been cleaned but it did say on it it was "dry clean only" as was suede material.......the bottom valance of the bed was filthy again looked like it had not been washed....the duvet /top sheet and the actual mattress were clean though. The windows were covered in cobwebs ....again not been cleaned in a long time ....did not stay for breakfast so cannot comment on same. Not sure what the rest of the rooms were like but based on the one I had I wouldnt stay again.
