8/10 Very good

Friendly helpful staff in a hotel that has relied on coach parties and is looking a little tired. Good value for money. Excellent location. Apparently has a new management team looking to revitalise it. Best asset is its staff - a lot of locals and really friendly.

Nice classic hotel
Spent a couple of nights here as a base while traveling to the isles. Very convenient location for the train and ferries, friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast. There are a few signs of wear as you'd expect with an older building but it was kept nice and clean.

4/10 Fair

Room and bathroom very small, but the main issue I had was the very poor sound insulation, could hear every word in the neighbouring room, which was going late to the night
