Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with a controllable radiator to adjust the warmth. The staff respected my privacy during my stay, providing a lovely and relaxing experience. The room, albeit slightly worn, was still cozy given its generous size.
The hotel was a great value for money, right in the center of Selkirk. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering tea and coffee making facilities plus a television, though slightly tired. The service was excellent with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location was central, making it easy to explore the town and conveniently close to amenities. The dining was superb with a good selection at excellent value. Overall, the hotel provided a comfortable stay with a wonderful Scottish hospitality touch.
The hotel's location in the centre of Selkirk is great, allowing for a lovely and convenient stay with attentive service. The rooms may show their age slightly, but they are spacious and clean, offering a comfortable ambiance. The dining options are top-notch, especially the Angus beef, worth every penny.
