Malmaison Dundee

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel . Great location for the train ."

Staybridge Suites Dundee by IHG

8/10 Good

"Room was excellent and check in staff also excellent. Breakfast was disappointing. No fresh eggs, buffet scrambled eggs were either finished or overcooked. The rest of the hot food had been sitting out for a while and containers didn’t have covers so food was lukewarm. Certainly wasn’t as good as previous visits. The car park was overflowing and some cars parked illegally making it difficult or impossible to get out of designated spaces. However overall the room and staff were excellent"

Dalmunzie Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds are absolutely stunning! The castle is amazing and rich with a colourful history! We stayed in a Four Poster room which was gorgeous. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. It was a truly magical visit."
