Reviews and Ratings
The hotel boasts a central location in town, opposite the Ythan River, with particularly nice rooms featuring wooden Venetian blinds and bathrooms. The service was top-notch, but the dining experience was lacking local products. Overall, a comfortable stay with a touch of luxury.
The hotel is situated right in the centre of town, offering convenient access to local attractions. The rooms stand out with their wooden Venetian blinds, central heating system, and particularly nice bathrooms, making for a comfortable stay. However, the dining options were lacking, and the mountain of soggy tasteless vegetables was off-putting. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for dining improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy with a central heating system, wooden Venetian blinds, and particularly nice bathrooms. The service was excellent, and the location was convenient, right in the town center opposite the Ythan River. The dining experience was satisfactory, especially with their delicious risotto. However, it was noisy on a Saturday night due to nearby events. Overall, it was a good value for money.
