The worst hotel I’ve stayed in.

Staff advised cooked breakfast not available at 8.45am, despite sign in reception saying 9am, which is still too early in my opinion. Stayed in the annex block which was shabby and room could not be locked from the outside. Staff member advised hotel was full, so couldn’t change rooms. Breakfast staff advised hotel was not full and rooms in the annex “were like visiting cell block h”… went to make toast at 8.50am and they had put the lights out, removed the break and taken the coffee away. Rooms were not clean, shabby decor. Expensive price for a poor hotel and staff not great attitude. I Would not return nor recommend.

Would NOT recommend this hotel!!!

Very little! The location was good!

Everything!!! The rooms are run down and tired but more importantly were not clean upon arrival and it was difficult to get them cleaned during the week. The management were on holiday and a skeleton staff covered (2 members of staff seemed to be doing everything!) We were told the chef couldn't do porridge, couldn't do omelette - and when we asked for cereal to be refilled we were told they had run out. Half the service - but NOT half the price!!!! This is Scottish hospitality at it's worst! Shocking!

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The breakfast was good despite no vegetarian option, the scrambled eggs were perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful which was nice to see. The room I stayed in was a decent size.

The en-suite shower door had been replaced by a curtain, not ideal. My room was not serviced and although it is not the fault of the hotel the boy racers with loud exhausts were a noise nuisance. MAybe the hotel should liaise with the Elgin police to get them stopped.

Niet bij de tijdse uitstraling

De bereidwilligheid goede service te leveren ondanks de niet helemaal bij-de-tijdse voorzieni gen.

De prijs. De hoge prijs stond niet in verhouding tot het gebodene.

One night was enough

Location was good

Checked in and was given the keys for room 16, climbed to the top floor, opened the door to find that someone was already occupying the room with empty beer bottles and clothes all over the floor. Back downstairs to a rather embarassed staff member, not as embarrassed as I would’ve been had the occupants been in the room when I walked in. Then moved to room 17. The main bedroom was modern and clean. The bathroom looked looked it had a new shower enclosure fitted but had a very old electric shower unit in it. The bathroom walls and ceiling around the toilet and window area were cracked and crumbling. Put off by the previous evening’s events and the condition of the bathroom, we skipped breakfast and went elsewhere to eat. I always like to give honest reviews and thought that this was very over priced for what was on offer.

Did the job; didn't inspire fondness for it

Clearly newly decorated and clean, with all the essentials. Comfy, big bed, and decent shower.

Our room on the 2nd floor was very cold as the heating had been turned off, but the outside was only 6°C and it felt that on the inside too. When the heating did come on, it took the edge off the chill but was never warm enough to relax in. Felt the hotel lacked the personal touches and care essential for a sense of value for money and being valued as a customer.

Basic needs updating breakfast exceptional

Breakfast was one of the best we had, although would have liked to be offered more coffee

Bed was uncomfortable and no extra pillows available Yes probably if we went to reception they probably would have provided them but wasn’t until 10.30pm we realised the issue

nice hotel, great staff.

Good food, nice staff. room large, clean and warm. breakfast was great. check in/out easy.

shower within the bathroom appears to have been designed for someone the same size and weight as a breadstick. The shower, once squeezed into, was either hotter than the surface of the sun, or colder than ice. Not great after a long day of work.

Small hotel with a big heart

Lovely friendly staff who went out of their way to help out, special shout out to the lady who was serving breakfast, who realised I was going to be late, so set aside a setting for me!

Really much nothing really, loved the place!

The staff are highly professional, friendly individuals and were adherent to our needs.

The property is full of character & has a cosy & warm feel to it.

The property could do with a health club/gym on site.

Very disappointing, we won’t be back.

Nice staircase on entering the building. The king size bed in our room was clean and comfortable.

Not a nice atmosphere as soon as you enter the hotel. The very few staff we saw weren’t welcoming or friendly, only told us what we needed to know. We were in an attic room with a very small window, making the room very dark and claustrophobic. No pictures on the walls, no shelves or hooks to hang things on, hence everything was on the floor. The toilet leaked water from the back when you sat on the seat. Uncontrollable shower. Bedside lights didn’t work. Breakfast was very basic and very self service, cooked breakfast had one very tough sausage and one slice of black pudding which was raw in the middle.

Non-professional staff.

Nothing

At dinner, we were cramped at a table for 2 against the wall although the dining room was almost empty and other tables were dressed and available. We were refused a full breakfast because we were 5 minutes late and had to make do with steawberry yogurt and à Small pack of kids’cereals !

Comfortable Bed.

Very poor

The staff apart from temporary manager were really nice

The room was in need of total upgrade asked to be moved but alternative room shower didn't work!

Aug 2023

Booked for 3 days, walked out on day 2 with my family as the hotel was shockingly poor

The breakfast was adequate but nothing special Nicola the manager was very helpful,.unlike the other foreign manager

Misleading online photographs of the rooms. Our first room had.issues including a shower that did not work. The second room we were moved to developed a water leak with water coming through the ceiling, and this had happened before with this room. Hotel is tired and dated worn decor, and in need of significant investment. Manager demanded payment up front and when we chose to walk out on day two, had significant issues in getting a full refund. Personally, this Hotel and the other hotel owned in Elgin by the proprietors (The Mansion House) will leave people hugely disappointed and upset at the lack of value for money via your website

Will never stay again

Convenient

The whole vibe. We had a family room and only 2 towels. The curtains were dreadfully hung and the shower didn’t work.

The rooms were in a separate building and a little outdated but otherwise comfortable enough. Reception wasn’t very clear upon arrival

Passable

paid for room upgrade and got room upstairs with very small window no outlook

very steep stairs cost of pint beer £5.95 just a complete rip of cost for the room was £120 for the night I think a fair price would be around £60for the ight

Do not bother with this place.

Upon arrival the room was not cleaned (dirty bedding, full bins, dirty towels). Thankfully the blonde woman on the front desk resolved this issue quickly however her male coworker was rude and dismissive. I also had an accidental double booking which I was told would be resolved in the morning but I was then told by the man on the desk that it wasn't his problem and he wouldn't/couldn't so anything. I can not recommend this BNB to anyone and strongly advise all to seak different accommodation.

We only had a one night stopover on our way home so it suited us fine

Very clean and nicely decorated

As we only stayed one night on our way home there was nothing I didn’t like about the property. It was absolutely fine for our overnight stay .

Would stay again.

Really friendly staff who worked extremely hard to make sure your stay was comfortable. Breakfast was good and we also had a meal in the restaurant which was also very nice.

Room was a little tired and could do with a makeover but it was still comfortable and clean so not really complaining and this was made up for by the staff and the food.
