Nice hotel with a great location near Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline Abbey, the park and other businesses. Nice staff and good restaurant. The rooms were fine but a person has to understand older hotels don't have elevators in many instances, so plan for that.

Nice hotel in convenient location. Only problem was the fact I received an email 24 hours before arrival saying it may be noisy as the had karaoke on Saturday nights. I asked for a quiet room but on arrival was told this would cost £100.

The staff made me very welcome. They were very friendly and helpful. I ate in the restaurant and enjoyed both breakfast and the evening meal. The food was very good. I used the parking app for the public car park at the back of the hotel. That way I just had to renew it when they messaged me.
