Is ok
The updated rooms are really nice. The older ones need updating. You get charge extra to use the leisure suite which I don’t agree with. Breakfast is ok. If it’s not buffet you get 1 of each item which I feel it makes it not worth the £12.50.

The charge for the pool was £7.50 per person per day which I think is too high especially since there was no sauna or steam room available.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, just a minor hiccup on arrival, waste bin had not been emptied, bed had been sat or rumbled on it a bit & tea tray not stocked up. Dining room staff friendly & attentive at all meals, will stay again

It was a quiet location however the late night staff woke me up with their enthusiastic chatter during their smoke break in the middle of the night. Otherwise good experience.

This Hotel is very disappointing for the area!
The receptionist had no customer service skills, was miserable, unfriendly and seemed annoyed when I asked her a few questions about size of room and if there was a lift to the top floor. I had to drag a heavy case up three flights of stairs as an older woman with no offer of help from staff. On reaching the start of the second flight, one of the housemaids saw me struggling so picked up case and carried it all the way up to my room luckily. The room was very small with a double bed. It was noisy with no double glazing windows that were hard to push up or down. The hotel needs refurbished and not up to a high standard for the prices they charge for the rooms. Definitely over priced and not good for this type of area in Broughty Ferry, Dundee. I never want to stay in this hotel ever again. Most of the staff are unprofessional and do not go the extra mile for their customers! I will never go back there again in the future. Dreadful experience overall.

Bang average hotel. Just what you'd expect from a best western they're stuck in the 80s. Bar had good draught options. Gym and swim looked good but you have to pay for it. 15-20 minute walk to the beach which is nice. Eat at a lovely tapas place round that area.

The only downfall about this hotel is when there is a wedding reception on and at 10/11 at night everyone is hanging out the front of the hotel being very loud but other than that really nice place to stay pool and spa facilities are amazing and the staff are very friendly

Terrible reception manager and maintenance lazy to say the least. Beds never made/towels full of holes and thin, everything shabby. Shower covered in black mould and smelly. Do yourself a favour and book elsewhere

Great Staff, restaurant and pub. Had I known earlier how nice, I would've booked a longer stay. Possibly the world's best Best Western. Wonderful.
