Great place to stay.
We were only there for a night but King room was spacious and bed was comfy.
We ate in the bar. I have a severe nut allergy and they were great about that. I felt very safe.
All the staff were lovely.
Nice environment and lovely walks around the campus
A bit outside the city but because of there being a bus stop 3 minutes walk away it made getting there really easy. Rooms were clean and quiet.
Great overall stay
Easily found, ample parking
Good breakfast selection
People need to be aware of new Visitor tax payable by everyone even if you are a UK resident🙈
Had dinner, nice selection, quick service, and well presented
Matthew on the reception desk was exceptional! He was such a friendly, knowledgeable and helpful member of staff. He greeted us with a smile and asked how our day had been. He’s a credit to Marriott.
The place was spotless. Beds comfortable. Lovely and quiet. The breakfast was good but people had to keep asking for cups plates spoons butter etc , they didn’t seem to be able to keep up .
I was sharing with my sister and found the en-suite rather disconcerting as the door didn’t fully close and it was all frosted glass. Other than this we had a nice stay .
We have stayed in a lot of hotels over our travels. THIS WAS PROBABLY THE BEST SERVICE BY STAFF IN 30 years. The front desk helped us in every possible way. The breakfast was very good, the staff serving the buffet was very tentative to our needs. The only time during our weeks stay ( ha ha) that I was told no was when I asked for a tooth pick.
Overall, this hotel exceeded expectations in every way. It’s a place we would return to without hesitation and confidently recommend to anyone visiting Scotland, whether for relaxation, sightseeing, or a special occasion.
