“Small double!!!!!!”

We book a small double bedroom as it was only for one night. We thought the room would be small but did not expect the bed to be small only 4 feet wide, we didn't really notice until we got back from pub or would have paid to ungrade. Did speak to the receptionist in the morning who was very... More

Convenient for the station and that's about it. The first room I was offered was in front of the neon Thistle sign on the first floor. They upgraded me to a junior suite on the 5th floor. No minibar, no kettle or coffee making facilities. The shower over the bath didn't work, for the internet you had to register with... More
