The room was fine but I was informed that breakfast was between eight and ten, when I went down at nine it was all locked up and there was no staff around to help. Not having breakfast spoiled my stay and I had to get breakfast elsewhere.

Hotel seemed to have no onsite staff. No reception. There were only 4 guests staying and we were all put on the third floor with no lift. This was difficult as we are an elderly couple.The bar is not open every day so no-one in the hotel at all although there is a contact number in the room. Cooked breakfast was very good, cook was very friendly and also served food. We booked a 2 night stay and the room was not serviced on our second day. We managed to get towels in the evening from the barmaid who was great and went out of her way to help.
I thought the information and reviews on hotels.com were very misleading and I wouldn't have booked had I known what it was like.

This was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. Situated in a back lane just off the high street, it was difficult to get the car anywhere near. Then there was no parking anywhere near the hotel. No reception or staff onsite. I was met by someone who took me up the 3-flights of steep stairs and gave me a room key. The room and hotel in general was very tired and in desperate need of refurbishment. The room door had obviously been smashed in and repaired!! The walls were paper thin, as you could hear everything in rooms on both sides. The breakfast was awful. The night time drunks shouting up at other residents at 2am just topped off a really bad experience. Never again!!

What's not to like? Nice clean room with little extras like a bottle of water, and shampoo and shower gel, which are thoughtful and appreciated. Excellent staff, and had a brilliant full Scottish breakfast cooked for me fresh. Would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to the staff for a pleasant stay.

We enjoyed our stay in the oldest hotel in Montrose! The showers, staff and beds were great! We arrived on a night when the bar area was not open and so had to call for someone to come and let us in and they were there in 5 minutes😊

Was greeted and well looked after, very accommodating to our arrival times. Very enjoyable stay, the pub downstairs was a little noisy when arriving back later on but this was totally inaudible from our rooms. Breakfast was great, we felt very looked after and attended to. The stairs were a bit of a challenge with cases but that was the only downside, certainly wouldn't put us off returning in the future.

Comfortable beds and bedding with a clean well kept bathroom. The public spaces and corridors are a bit glum but the staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. It can get a bit rowdy at the weekends but I slept through it all. You get a decent breakfast including vegetarian option included.

I love Montrose The people are great A staff member carried my bag upstairs The room was spacious The shower deserves a mention it had plenty force and hot water It’s very central to everything and it’s all walkable. Also the guy on breakfast is doing a great job enough to set you up for the day and served really quickly 💛 I will definitely be back😀

Stayed the one night when looking for a stopover, hotel looks nothing special from outside but made welcome and the room was very good, bed comfortable and shower room nice. My wife asked if they had vegetarian options for breakfast and they went and got vegetarian sausages and oat milk for her.
My only criticism would be cooked breakfast could have been warmer as we like ours really hot.
We would stay again.

The room was fine. Clean and comfortable but the feel is more a room to rent rather than a hotel. The bar was closed and not really a hotel feel.

Hotel was basic but ok very noisy with people at the pub underneath and sounded like thousands of seagulls about all night we had to ask for extra towel's as they had only left one set there was no milk for brews and the drains stunk on first night

We had a superb room, top floor, with a brand new updated bathroom, lovely towels. The stairs were steep but in a hotel built in 1765 that was understandable. The entrance was a bit of a surprise but the staff were sincere and hugely accommodating. They are the heart of the business! I look forward to seeing this hotel continue to keep it’s character and continue to work on its check in.
