10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable and quiet great shower and close to everything
Karen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Spotless accommodation

Modern bedroom with a modern spotless bathroom. Very convenient for buses into the city centre. Easy check in process.
Gurdial, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent guest house about a mile walk from city centre. Check in with was via a coded security box which was easy to use. Good communication via email. Room was immaculate and roomy. Nicely decorated and good facilities. Would definitely recommend and use again.
KARL, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was such a fantastic experience for us to stay. This is our second time staying at Arrandale and it is wonderful. Definitely will come back soon.
Yamin Lily, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Clean but no personal touch at all - only difficult communications through an intercom when we had questions and difficulty entering the building. Clean and reasonably safe and quiet, but NO space to set anything down or hang anything up. Plus, their listing said they have a restaurant: they used to offer breakfast but don't any more which presented problems for our family.
Leslie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely and clean, didn’t see staff but key was left in secure lock and had mobile phone number of owner so this wasn’t an issue. We were really pleased with the room, all recently redecorated. 5 min bus ride into main centre or £10 in taxi. Would definitely stay again
Hayley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice clean room, comfortable, lovely shower. Ring camera entry a bit of a faff.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice stay with some good basic facilities

Pretty good and would use again. Shower was hot and bed was comfy. Parking in side streets fine. There's some shops along the streets surounding the hotel that are useful. Overall facilities pretty good. Would recommend

10/10 Exceptional

I arrived at night, there was a nice peaceful ambience about Arrandale, subdued lighting, very much like home.my room was big for a single, both room, and bathroom were spotless. I could not fault anything.Very good value for the money.
HELENA, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice room... small, but more than enough for one person. Bathroom was very modern. Good TV options. Nice bed. No lobby. Only issue was manager was not there during check-in. It created an issue, but otherwise it was fine.
Dawn, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property is in poor condition, communication w managment poor. No email introduction as to what to expect on arriving. Rm 6, poor condition and very noisy. Rm 8 was in the back, quiet, worth the stay. Biilding is in poor condition, windows bad doors bad. Etc. No services close by, had to take a bus down town for coffee. No food on site. Thos prop does not deserve a 7 rating.
Curt, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I booked this hotel for a 3 night stay and I had to ask for a refund and find lodging last minute as the conditions pf this property where very unsafe to stay in. The hotel itself at a glance outside will show you that the hotel hasn’t had a proper update since the late 90s. Balcony outside crumbling, half of the railing missing. Broken glass covered over with plastic. Thorn fitted carpet mended with duct tape. Surfaces covered in years of neglect. The hallways smell, the room is dark and has florescent bulb fixture. The bathroom is like a long corridor ( small that you cannot open your arms on the sides fully) with the toilet on one end and a shower on another with mold creeping on every nook and cranny of it. And the corners with years and years of improper cleaning. I was traveling with my husband and my 6 month old I asked for a refund as I didn’t want to have my baby exposed to this health hazard. The staff was very apologetic and understanding and helped with the refund. Spend the extra ££ and stay somewhere else.

The room looks so attractive on the website pictures!
MURALIDHARAN, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Stay for the location - just over a walkable mile to the Royal mile - but not necessarily for a good night sleep on a busy road with poorly insulted windows and inadequate window covering to darken the room
Theresa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was a good stay. It’s a 30 minute walk into city center and has great cafes in walking distance. There isn’t a restaurant at the location, but again a good choice of cafes near.

Yhe sheets were filthy, the toilet wobbled and gold band with diamonds went missing.
Tamra, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer im Souterrain mit Blick auf eine Mauer und Holzabfälle. Die Einrichtung ist ok, aber lieblos. Kein Bild an der Wand, nichts, was es irgendwie gemütlich macht. Keine Ablageflache im Bad. Personal gibt es nicht, alles ist sehr unpersönlich. Parkplätze gibt es auch nicht genügend, Frühstück gibt es gar nicht. Gut ist die Busanbindung fast direkt vor der Tür. Mehrere Linien fahren direkt ins Zentrum. Für eine Nacht mag das gehen, aber ich war froh, dass ich nur eine Nacht in diesem Zimmer sein musste.

Very comfortable stay , high standard of room , clean , excellent facilities, felt safe good check in system, no hesitation to go back for a stay.
Marcus, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was very nice, but for some reason room always hot- the floor was warm sometimes and we had to open the window/door to let some cooler air in. Could have used an extra couple pillows or thicker ones.
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

On a bus route - but about a 10min ride into town - so that’s a down side - £11 taxi each way or £2 bus each time you want to go to town. Place itself is fairly clean and our room was clean and tidy with lovely white sheets and towels. Our room was not en-suite - but had a private bathroom with a key just for us, so was fine.
Elaine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Auto check in was easy.
Joanna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. Check-in is collecting keys from a box. There is no reception. I missed having interaction with a human

Great facility for our 1 night stop over great information on bus and taxi services

Great room. Bright and fresh, nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable. Definitely well worth the money. Would highly recommend this property 5*
Seah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

When we arrived our room had been double booked. It was late evening. No staff at the premises. When I called they realised their error. They gave us a different room but we had to wait 45 minutes, and go to their sister property (nice but under development).
