The elevator was not working and we were booked on the 3rd floor. Very inconvenient with a heavy suitcase. The front desk attendant was very helpful. We had a flat tire and he was great. Both breakfast and dinner were very good.
Difficult to judge as property is currently undergoing refurbishment
The staff had excellent customer service skills and were friendly and helpful
Our first room had a shower problem, but this was quickly rectified by changing our room.
The location is spectacular, the view cannot fail to amaze
1. The beds were flimsy.
2. Elevator was not working.
3. No ventilation in the room without opening the window.
4. Carpet was dirty and was not covering the whole room due to which a ton of dirt was accumulated on the room edge.

This hotel was perfectly adequate though the room was very dated. The bed was really comfortable. The linen was clean. The room and the bathroom were very tired. Lots of dirty marks on the ceiling, black on some of the grouting, ill fitting toilet seat, no toilet roll holder and cheap toilet rolls.
The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The exterior of the hotel had scaffold all around it. I presume they are doing repairs or painting the exterior, but certainly some money should be spent on modernising the rooms. Foyer and dining area were lovely.
I would definitely stay there again as a stopover. Not sure I would want an extended stay, in the room we had.
Pro: the view of the loch and it ends there. If you are going to stay here I recommend a car for sure as it’s far from the city centre. The room was just okay, it has your basic needs, heater, clean bathroom but mentioned in other reviews there is much upgrading needed. Even just as simple as wiping the walls. The bed was comfortable enough and the staff were on site. The elevator is out of service and we were offered no help with our suitcases to the 4th floor. The doors in the rooms have no lock on the inside besides the doorknob and no safe. The buffet breakfasts star highlight was the cereal bar. We decided to stay in for dinner one night and were not advised the restaurant is only open for two hours of dinner service with a course meal menu and a reservation is required. We managed to get a reservation 15 minutes before it closed and half the meal options were sold out. While being a cost effective option I wish I had spent the extra to stay somewhere else.
