Not Rushing Back

The hotel room was dirty and dusty, with curtains hanging off the rail. Room was cramped with bathroom only 2 steps from bed. Toilet was dirty and shower had black mould on bottom and round ill-fitting door. Rest of the hotel was dated and dirty. We paid for 2 nights but left after one, cancelling breakfast also as we decided hygiene may be an issue in the kitchen, if rest of hotel was the standard. Receptionist was pleasant enough but didn't ask why we were leaving early. We've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years and don't mind dated decor etc but the red line is cleanliness. The hotel is damaging Dunkeld's reputation as a charming, friendly little town. Melville Hotels need to have a good look at themselves.

the staff were friendly, but the room was very basic, the gutter outside the door needed maintenance which caused water to pour out during the night, keeping us awake. Lovely location, but the annex rooms need a lot more love.

Property was run down. Room was comfortable but toilet did not flush, the seal on the shower was broken and the curtains did not cover the window. When we asked the noisy Halloween disco if they could go ish the music they insisted on continuing until after midnight even though there was nobody there.

Very old building and it was a little confusing trying to find the entrance. Room was on the top floor which was a bit difficult for my elderly father.

The hotel was conveniently located and clean. It was not easy to find staff to check in or get room supplies. The room was clean, but spare. No towel rack, no tissue, no pictures on walls. Lacked appeal. Seemed like a dorm room. Breakfast choices were plentiful and well prepared. Pub was cozy and convenient. Pub and dining staff were friendly and helpful.

The heat didn't work in Unit 202. On the second day the lovely receptionist gave me a space heater. She was great, the best. The two regulars in the bar area were awful. They were looking for fights. Big disappointment. Great location and clean. Internet worked great. Overall a nice stay.

Sinking ship

Hotel felt fairly dirty and run down, very under staffed. Room rate was expensive and didn’t include breakfast. General feel was that the hotel has ‘given up on life’, is merely surviving on the over flow business they get during wedding season by charging ridiculous rates knowing people have little option. The few staff that were there were very pleasant but sadly not enough to make me ever want to stay at this overpriced sinking ship again.

Had an overall good stay at hotel with my one year old son. Just a beautiful location on the map and our favourite place to visit, Dunkeld. We were in the Annex which is just, well, one room and toilet/electric shower. My opinion would be a slight bit work needing done more to the decorative side of things. Staff were nice for basically 30seconds but that’s all I had to deal with them to be fair, but very nice overall.
