Excellent property and great value for money! Traditional room was very clean. Huge bed. En-suite modern and very clean. Everything in working order. Great quiet little street with plenty parking spaces. Hotel situated in the quieter North side of the town which suited us. About a mile walk from town center.

The Golden Sands Hotel was a great wee stay. It was clean and in a safe enough area. Its location was just beside the Grand hotel which is a good landmark for getting off the tram. Jim the host was very nice and friendly, and went out his way to research food options for a gallstone diet. We would stay again.

From the minute we walked in, we was felt really really well we treated was really happy with the stay. I’m giving it 10 out of 10 cause I’m very happy with the place. It was lovely and spotlessly clean the bed was lovely and comfy. Nothing was too much trouble.. they no longer do cooked breakfast though which was a little bit of a letdown for me but not a problem. The guy dealt with it in a really good way so I was happy with that as well. Would I stop here again? yes 100% really enjoyed our day.

Overall nice stay for 3 nights. Quiet and easy access for trams along to tower etc. close to shops just a 5 minute walk. Jim who runs the place pleasant guy and has a good wee place. Beds comfy enough and warm. Water pressure in toilet not great for a shower a drawback. We liked the location as it was further along from the main drag but as i mentioned tram stop only a 5 minute walk away. Would stay again as out the way of all the noise along the road although we did go along everyday but good to return to some peace.

Stayed here with our German Shepherd dog, stayed in room 2, pleasant spacious room, Little things that matter and made our stay very pleasant like loads of plugs for charging gadgets, quite a few door hooks for hanging jackets aswell as loads of hangers, huge dressing table and mirror for hair n make up, Easy checkin, couldn’t park in front of hotel but after parking in front for check in we had plenty of free spaces on the side roads, The owner was very lovely made us feel very welcome and explained everything we needed to know also our dog had lovely cuddles off her, We will definitely stay here again as the location is ideal for a lovely quiet walk for the dog and to the tower,
