"The location was amazing, directly onto Athena stunning East Beach road. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We ordered the Scottish breakfast and it was freshly cooked and delicious. The room was a bit small with a tiny en-suite."

Laichmoray Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is made to order and is excellent . Bar has good choice but a little pricey. Restaurant is also excellent and has good choice of menu. Always busy and requires reservation. On the whole a good place to stay, but no lift so stairs to all floors."

The Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rooms well presented and clean with a good amount of space, large shower and coffee amenities. The breakfast was convenient and the service was quick, although they had limited vegan option and no non-dairy milks available. The staff were all incredible lovely and very helpful. The location was right across the road from the train station and a supermarket, and only a 10 minute walk into the centre of town."

The Old Coach House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice staff, a lot of information provided. Off street parking is just next to the hotel. Lidl’s within short walking distance. Rooms and the building itself are little tired. Bathroom was a tiny one, but everything worked fine (except the extractor fan). Decorating was little outdated. But if you are looking for affordable stay overnight or few nights stay, then I would recommend it."

Harbour Nights

8/10 Good

"We contacted them a couple of times before check in but received no reply...the key box was awkward to use"
