What people say

A really well located place to stay, right in the heart of Dundee. The staff were very friendly, the room had everything we needed, including coffee making facilities. We shared a very clean bathroom with only one other room. We had a lovely view over the square, with all the coloured lights in the evening was really pretty!. The room was very spacious and the bed was very big in the standard double. The staff where friendly and set in a great location.
