Howard
Breakfast was good, the food freshly cooked and hot, the staff on the breakfast was excellent very helpful.
Alison
A little short staffed but all helpful and pleasant when they got to us. Room and what it offered were fine. We were disturbed by noisy next door neighbours and by other bedroom doors slamming and street noise at night but not much the staff could do about that. Food and drink were good. Check in and check out were fine. It would have helped us if you had included the postcode and address of the car park next door on our arrival instructions as you can't drive direct to the hotel door .

I came on business so neither the beach nor the drinks were relevant. The new park was on my agenda and I am impressed. The hotel provided everything that I needed.

An ok stay but a bit expensive for average quality
The walls were very thin, like in any older building. It was however so thin that we heard the neighbours' conversations very clearly, which was not great for any of us..

Beth
Convenient location, terrific food
Visiting for a family wedding. The front desk staff was flexible with our multiple flight delays (curse you, American Airlines), and they and the restaurant staff were all friendly and helpful. Food in the pub was VERY good. Beds were what I consider typical European hotel beds: slightly smaller and firmer than US beds. We still got good nights' sleeps, though.
Within the town, there are many places to eat, get coffee, and just stroll around. A walkable park is nearby. Shopping is that of a typical working-class town: a few boutiques, many second-hand and dollar stores, and a few cute souvenir shops. A bus terminal and the beach are a few short steps away.
Two suggestions: make the entire property more handi-friendly (NO elevators; we had to lift our baggage up stairs all the time) and provide small refrigerators. I understand you want people to eat downstairs, and for the most part we did, but with a Lidl conveniently located across the street, it was hard not to bring home snacks that needed refrigeration.

Nice pub/restaurant, could do another member of staff when restaurant is busy, pub bar neglected, had to go around to the restaurant bar to order a drink, they sent anyone to the pub bar to serve. Still enjoyed my stay though 😊👍

Totally Useless Staff
No reception staff on arrival after 10 min wait went to the bar and was told somebody’s would be there shortly another couple tried to check in they went to the bar and were told the receptionist was helping out in the kitchen 20 mins later still no staff so went into bar which was not busy at all and complained and was told that they were very busy and receptionist was helping in the kitchen and would come as soon as free
30 mins after arriving and waiting to checkin someone appeared with no apologies for wait or lateness
Shambolic and utterly useless staffing Basil Fawlty could have done a better job

Scottish Break
The Caledonian Hotel was a pin in the map choice. Turned out to be perfect. However a couple of thing may need your attention:- Blue & Red markings need to be fitted to taps and shower. Also stock loading around the rear of the building needs to be done at a more reasonable hour,not seven o'clock in the morning. The staff were really pleasant and on the ball. Thanks.
Thomas
Thoroughly enjoyable, staff very friendly and helpful. Room very good and comfortable.
Graham
Everywhere was clean. We felt that the staff did their best and were generally friendly and helpful. A couple of minor issues were quickly dealt with promptly to our satisfaction.
We enjoyed the breakfast but the coffee needed to be stronger.

Hotel for Fife golf trip.
Absolutely superb. Used this hotel as a base for golf trip in Fife. Hotel itself was ideal, pretty basic rooms, exactly what we were looking for. A Greene King pub and the choice of drinks was great. We had food both nights and it was excellent. The thing that made it so good was the staff. They were all so helpful and friendly and genuinely seemed to care.
Sherrie
Although rooms looked as though upgraded and tastefully done as was the restaurant, there was still issues with bedroom ceiling, corridor ceiling, ensuite floor, tempreure control of shower.
Didn't feel area warranted price especially without breakfast.

Central location - big bed
well placed for staying near the beach
great sized bed ( room 2) and overall a good stay
disappointing at breakfast - people who arrived after me got served first and while it was a busy breakfast with everyone arriving at the same time - the kitchen couldn't cope and in fact i had to leave without breakfast ( even though i'd paid for it) as they food took more than 25 mins to come out - and i don't know how long t would have taken

Staff and food were excellent, however the accommodation area was worn out and in poor condition dirty carpets etc, I understand a refurbishment is due to start next week which is long overdue. The room amenities were clean but well used and. In need of refreshing. I would stay here again, knowing that it is going to be refurbished.

Needs major renovation and redesign.
The bar and restaurant were fine. The hotel accommodation is probably the worst I have ever stayed in. The decor is filthy and extremely dated, the bathroom had black mould around the seals, the carpet was stained, the make up mirror lights didn’t work, one of the electric points didn’t work so had to limit what you could use, the room smelled fusty and dirty. The furniture had not been updated since may be 1980. The curtains were stained and bleached by the sun, needed a good clean. This place is in need of a major renovation and to step into the modern world.

Rooms clean a little dated. Restaurant excellent good service and plenty of choice on menu. Beds comfortable.

Felt lucky to leave
Nice friendly check in, reception (and bar) look promising … then you walk through the door to the hotel and are transported back to 1973 and a cheap coach trip. In dire dire need of an upgrade the place is beyond a refresh and in need of a complete overhaul.
On entry the room had a distinct odour of vomit and bleach, our friends room had a similar but not nearly as bad odour. When plugging in the TV my hand was covered in something thick and sticky - so disgusted I ran to wash it off and had no desire to inspect it.
The rickety windows let in all the noise throughout the night - cars, rowdy people outside etc etc so even when shutting eyes the impact of this dreadful place was apparent.
Walls are marked, everything is shabby.
Bed linen and towels were clean, fresh and decent quality which was the only plus… especially when you want to shower to wash the ‘ick of the room off.
We had to stay in the area and accepted this was simply a place to lay our heads but due to the state (and smell) of the rooms we decided not to eat dinner or breakfast there although the bar/restaurant was quite busy.
£70 is robbery for a room of such dreadfully poor standard.

Hotel room was very tired looking, toilet didn’t flush properly, the bed was rock hard and the Wi-Fi connection was really poor. However, the breakfast was wonderful and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful which made up for it.

Hotel good value, a little dated rooms but clean and comfortable bed and good shower. Service in the restaurant could be better seems a little understaffed. Food was great though and overall enjoyed our stay

First class accommidations.
We were on second floor, overall service, condition was excellent and staff very friendly, food was amazing and fair priced, just wish they had a lift instead of stairs.

The rooms are very dated. Shower wasnt very great, toilet was a mission to flush and the floors creaked really badly. However the staff, service and the food in the restaurant was superb.
Karen
Three night stay
Rooms are basic but clean and the bed was comfortable, food was average. But I thought it was expensive for drinks unless your a wine drinker, it was ok. Overall it was ok, and I would stay again.

Graham
Superb staff
Absolutely first class! If you want the Ritz, it’s not for you, but if you want a decent place with great food and staff, this is the place. Can honestly say without a doubt the best service I’ve ever had in a hotel, every single member of staff we came across couldn’t do enough. We come down every year for a golfing trip and this is definitely where we’ll stay in future
Shirley
Checking in was very well handled and all precautions explained. The bar and reception has recently been refurbished and looks lovely. However the corridors and rooms could do with a lick of paint as they were scruffy in places.
