Great location
Nice hotel . Fine for a short stay . Great location only 5 minutes walk to centre
Lots of great pubs .
Brand new ground floor room was excellent. Dining was fabulous with Bartender/Whiskey expert John leading the way. We had a really good time and met some really nice people. Best place so far in Scotland for us!
Absolutely the best value in Elgin..

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Friendly staff and comfy bed. But stains on the two chairs in the room, couldn’t open the window very far on a hot (for Scotland) day, and rust multiple places in the bathroom. Bathroom as a whole felt like it needed an update.
Really friendly staff that know what they're doing. Bar has an excellent selection of whisky available . Dining is nice and relaxed with very good food.
The rooms are clean and have everything you need but are not 5 star but then neither is the price. Breakfast is freshly made for you and of good quality and well cooked.
Would definitely return to stay again.
Fabulous hotel. Staff was attentive and friendly. Restaurant was fantastic and the bartenders, Alister and Jonathan were incredibly knowledgeable regarding local whiskys and great conversationalists. The room was newly remodeled, super clean and comfortable, with a hot shower with great water pressure and a nice bathtub. Highly recommended if staying in Elgin.
Booked, to pay on arrival but when I arrived they had already taken payment which I was a little annoyed about as I wanted to use a different card than what I had reserved the room on
