Cluny Bank Hotel

This is an old hotel so don't expect a luxurious stay, they do lack maintenance in the place and you see that in various things from doors that barely lock or not at all to leakage. However the bathrooms are nice and spacious with a big rain shower, they try their very best to make the best out of it through giving a free first drink or the breakfast that's included, they also give you a whole booklet with what to do where you are and recommendations. The staff is super kind and the bar downstairs is superb, a classic Scottish bar and for sure the cheapest one around, definitely worth it to just sit there for an evening and have a drink with the locals. If I'm ever back in Scotland they can expect a visit from me!

This hotel truly hits the mark when it comes to location – it's right in the heart of all the pubs, making it an absolutely ideal spot for exploring the nightlife. The rooms were generally decent, though there was a noticeable stain on the couch. My main concern, however, was with the water quality. It seemed to have a strong chemical smell, almost like too much chlorine. Both my dad and sister woke up the next morning with bright bloodshot eyes after showering and washing their faces, which was a bit alarming. On a brighter note, the service was fantastic; the staff were consistently friendly and incredibly helpful, which really made a difference.

Limited parking available. Had to park in a public car park & walk here. Inside is a very unwelcoming atmosphere. It’s very old & in need of a modern makeover & a DEEP CLEAN. There is no clear sign where to go, you might end up walking into the pub downstairs. To then be told you have to go up a couple flight of stairs. & again no sign where to go. walk in to what I can only describe as a carpeted small school hall, with a few tables with some chairs, which a few are broken, and a un operational bar. My family & I came for a roast to which we were very disappointed. The pigs in blankets were small & burnt to a crisp like pebbles. The beef was also a very small portion dry & rubbery. Like chewing leather no amount of gravy could save it. The carrots tasted like they had been boiled in dirt water. The potatoes were overcooked & sparse on the plate. And sticking with the theme of dry and overdone food. The skirlie was like eating wood shavings, which could have started a fire. The only edible thing was, what I assume to be a store bought Yorkshire pudding. Its Safe to say I didn’t eat much of what was on the plate. I would not go there again at all. & would recommend to all to eat somewhere else as it is a waste of money for the quantity and quality of food provided by whoever is in the kitchen.
