I liked the fact that it was central in Dunfermline and just down from the town centre. Breakfast was included both nights. Rooms were clean but the view and size of the window (small) for room size let's it down

A splendid stay at the City Hotel. A lovely old hotel with a lovely interior refurbished to suit the fabric of the hotel. Only downside is no lift to second floor, the stairs were awkward for older people. The staff were amazing and helped us with our suitcases. A beautiful dining area and outside space. Highly recommend this hotel.

All of the staff were very friendly and helpful 🙂, they made us feel very welcome and that they were there to make sure we had everything that we needed. Friendliest, happiest staff we have had the pleasure of dealing with.. We are glad to be able to recommend them as a place to stay. They are walking distance to shops and a fabulous park..
