I found parking easily in the large car park located directly behind the hotel. The hotel's location is convenient near Pittencrieff Park. My room featured a modern bathroom that was a good size. Breakfast was cooked to order, I found this to be better than a buffet.
The shower had somewhat weak water pressure. Otherwise, everything was satisfactory.

I requested a quiet room. I was provided a room apparently above the kitchen extract system! this, together with a very noisy music session, meant i did not sleep until late. the room was too hot. It was uncontrollable.
