The hotel has a unique room layout that some might find charming, but it could be noisy and outdated for others. The service is friendly and helpful, although there were misunderstandings about late check-outs. The location is convenient for city exploration but can be noisy at times.

Rooms

The room had a high ceiling with a layout resembling long tables reminiscent of old college setups. Some in the group enjoyed it, but others found it old-looking and noisy due to the location near fire doors and a creaky staircase.

Returning to the hotel after a night out, it was a bit cold and the radiator couldn't be adjusted to make it warmer. The staff, however, were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The hotel's decor was charming and it was easy to navigate around Perth, with bus stops and restaurants nearby. The cleanliness could have been better, and unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the bar. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

The hotel is in a convenient location near the shopping complex and the Tay river, perfect for exploring the city with friendly staff. While the rooms had a unique dormitory-style setup and were a bit warm, the hotel exudes a historic charm waiting to be discovered.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean but lacked modern updates, and the location was convenient for exploring the city. The service was hit or miss, with some staff being helpful and welcoming while others seemed disinterested. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but the partially self-service setup was a nice touch.
