We stayed here for 3 nights. The staff were friendly enough, but nothing to write home about. *CONS* – Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. Breakfast was lukewarm every morning — the plates were hot, but the food wasn’t (and the toast arrived cold). It seems like it's prepared in advance and left on a hot plate. I’d encourage the staff to try out their breakfast. The bedside lamps were far too large, leaving hardly any space on the table. The bed's headboard wasn’t secured, and the room’s window was broken — during Storm Amy, it honestly felt like the eye of the storm was at the end of our bed! The toilet seat was loose, the bathroom extractor fan didn’t work, the shower arm was broken, the mirror was broken, and the kettle wouldn’t stop boiling. On top of that, the tiles in the bar toilet were loose and actually felt unsafe. *PROS* – The bed was comfortable, the restaurant food was served hot (unlike breakfast), the location is great, there’s plenty of parking, the bar area is lovely, and the in-room tea and coffee supplies were generous. Overall, while there are some positives, the hotel is in need of serious maintenance and modernisation.

Pros - great location, big free car park, good tea tray and even bath robes in room Cons - remote control filthy, tape on window to stop you opening it ? Breakfast service poor - no interaction from staff asking if all ok etc ? Bathroom snug - over 6ft you might struggle to sit on toilet without your knees pushed up against wall

Hi, firstly I would like to say thank you for allowing us to come in and change before our check-in time as we were going to a special occasion. I have stayed at the lauriston in the past, had lots of family celebrations - christenings, weddings and special family gatherings here over the years. It is a place that hold lots of special memories to me and my family. I would always try and book here for a stay when visiting my home town. But sadly this may not be the case from now on. I just feel the accommodation needs a complete renovation. The bed in our room (room 1) was shocking, it needs replacing and is probably the most uncomfortable bed we have slept in. The rooms aren’t dirty but the carpets are worn, the bathroom cabinets are damaged too, and this looks like it could do with upgrading. The carpets in the main area are badly worn and it’s actually really sad to see on as mentioned previously a place I have used many times. I think that rooms need decorating, new beds, furniture and bathrooms before I would consider staying again. I want to say though that the lady who is I presume the housekeeper who served breakfast and cleans the place is just lovely, she is the cheeriest of people and was so helpful and I hope she gets to hear this as credit where credit is due. However the owners really need to take heed and get this hotel back looking at its best and it could be a wee gem of hotel,

Okay, but dated

Very dated and worn. Bathroom and bedroom is tiny and very little room. Felt a bit rushed to have breakfast as we had to fill in a form the previous night and picking an exact time to eat for the next day. Came down to load the car and staff were waiting for us to have breakfast and felt like we were being pressured to sit down. Breakfast was good and no issues. Hotel just feels like it needs serious updating

First impression was "very rundown and tacky" and in desperate need of a spruce up. It needs a good tidy up in the front. Not very welcoming on arrival. It was clean enough and staff were friendly but definitely very overpriced for what you got. Breakfast was cold and barely adequate. Not somewhere to return to.
