“This modern hotel places you conveniently for Dundee's attractions, including the V&A museum and train station within easy walking distance. I appreciate the 'Open Lobby' concept, which provides a relaxed space for dining and unwinding, and the inclusion of breakfast adds considerable value. While some past guests have mentioned noise issues, the central location and practical amenities make this a solid choice for both leisure and business.”

Amazingly central with really kind staff!

helpful staffpizza servicegood varietyfriendly staff
The location was amazing, I could walk everywhere. The staff was very helpful and super friendly! I even got to order pizza and eat it in the restaurant. Breakfast had such a good variety, I enjoyed the options available.
The room did not have a view. It was slightly noisy, so sleeping was a small challenge. The toilet wasn't flushing perfectly either.

Breakfast features a good variety of standard options. It isn't high quality but acceptable. Ordering pizza and eating it inside the restaurant was permitted. I did like the option, so appreciated this service.
