Many guests appreciate the modern, clean rooms, some featuring furnishings from Gillies, and find the beds comfortable. While some guests in rooms above the nightclub have noted noise until late at night, others found their rooms quiet.

Unexpected Quiet Comfort

The staff accommodated a room change request. I received a quieter room away from the busy bar. This was appreciated. The room had modern interior and a comfy bed. A fridge in the room was quite convenient.

The check-in process was slightly slow, due to the bar being busy.

a tender scottish getaway

meticulous cleanliness comfortable bed taxi arrangements

i relished the meticulous cleanliness of my room, it felt so fresh. the bed was comfortable, promising restful nights. the staff were great, readily assisting with taxi arrangements upon my departure.

the sounds from outside, while not overwhelming, did penetrate my room a bit at times. i suggest future guests sensitive to noise consider bringing earplugs to ensure an uninterrupted, dreamy sleep.
