The hotel had spacious and comfortable rooms, but the lack of Wi-Fi signal was a downside. The helpful service and convenient city center location were highlights, although some areas of the hotel needed upgrades.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had a nice view of the river and the old stone bridge though it smelt of damp, and there were stains on the bed cover and sink. The staff at breakfast seemed disorganized, but spacious rooms and a helpful receptionist made up for it.

The hotel offers lovely rooms with a river view and spotlessly clean, featuring a comfy bed. However, they could benefit from modernization. The location is fantastic, providing views over the River Tay and within walking distance of Perth town center. The excellent service, including accommodating staff, makes it a top choice for return visits. The dining experience has its ups and downs, with fabulous options but could improve in quality. Overall, a great choice for those looking for a clean, comfortable stay with friendly service and a prime location.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right along the beautiful River Tay with easy access to the city center. The rooms were bright and sunny, though they could use an upgrade for modern amenities near the beds. The service was professional and polite, with minor quirks in the elevator system. The dining experience was pleasant with good value options, but some service hiccups. Overall, a comfortable and traditional hotel with friendly staff and nice amenities.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although the lack of an iron in the room was inconvenient, and the airflow was poor. The veggie breakfast was great, and the location opposite the River Tay was lovely.
