Guest ratings and detailed reviews

Feedback about The Station Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often praise the large and clean family rooms, some featuring unique architectural elements like turret protrusions, and the convenient onsite parking and free WiFi add to the appeal. The Auld Jail annexe, across the road, offers newly refurbished and comfortable rooms, though some guests have mentioned hearing traffic due to the original single-glazed sash windows. Many enjoy the dining experience, highlighting the full Scottish breakfast with black pudding and dinner options like chicken breast stuffed with haggis and whisky sauce, frequently noting the generous portions.

The staff were very helpful. It was a positive.
The room was quite small, and some photos seemed misleading, presenting a larger space. This discrepancy affected the overall feel.

Solid stay

friday dinner scottish breakfast friendly staff
The dinner on Friday night offered great value. Breakfast included a full scottish with delicious black pudding. Staff members during breakfast and dinner were friendly and eager to assist..
I noticed a slight issue in the bathroom of my room. There seemed to be some dampness behind the cistern, which warrants attention.

The family room had comfortable beds with crisp white bedding. Decor was nice, and it included all essential amenities for a pleasant stay. Soundproofing could improve as street noise was audible due to single-glazed windows.

The room was cleaned to a very high standard daily (I really appreciated that). Breakfast was great, and I enjoyed the generous portion sizes. I found the staff friendly and polite. Dinner was excellent. All food tasted fresh.
The heater lacked instructions, and the room was cold on both nights. I was located in the annex at the front of the building. I heard the doors slam each time another guest came and went, as they were unable to operate a door correctly.

Average Stay, Issues Noted

thin walls basic room
I found a FEW things less than ideal. My room was located in a building across the street from the main hotel. This required stepping outside for meals. The room itself felt quite basic and lacked sufficient storage. The walls seemed thin, and noise from other rooms was audible. Breakfast was included though.
