Lovely apartment , really comfy beds and nice cosy living area and kitchen, great location and friendly staff. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because the windows are so thin and as I stayed on a weekend I barely slept because of the noise on the street - I recommend brining ear plugs!

The room needs work. Apparently the cleaners had not prepared our room, so we got one that was larger. That's a plus. But the carpet was dirty and the furniture stained. The sheets were clean and the water hot. The staff were nice.

Our stay at Friars Wynde was a treat x Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Room was warm and had everything you need .Being situated in the city centre makes it easy to access anything and everything you need Overnight was about a 5 minute walk from hotel but hotel has parking at back of hotel to use to take luggage through back entrance. Definitely going to stay there again really enjoyed our stay there ❤️

Tired room...showing clear signs of wear and tear and neglect..Carpet was heavily stained as was parys of the walls in the room.Bed frame was worn and dirty..curtains hung shabbily onto curtain rail, held on by clothes pegs in areas and not attatched to rail in other parts. Decent sized bathroom with readily available hot water.No TV channels worked whatsoever..rendered useless.Good location..Overall very poor value for the money.

The accommodation was a rabbit warren and probably a fire trap. The toilet seat was badly stained, the bed (which we only sat on) was very uncomfortable. We found alternative accommodation and moved to somewhere much nicer.

We’re stuck in a room sick. I can’t get in touch with management. It’s contactless here and that’s not ok. We’re not young anymore and chose this hotel because of the offerings. Now we’re stuck in the back of the hotel with no food and we’re like I said sick and weak. They don’t provide any amenities at all. No food, no ice etc. hotels.com needs to make them remove the listing as it’s false advertising. Not fair to us. They know we’re sick and offer. Nothing. If I owned this hotel I would go and get my customers something to eat. Sounds selfish to us.

Parking was full until after 4:30 PM/Sunday free/pay rest of time. No staff on Sunday. May have been a glitch? A staff person called me to ask what time I was checking in to meet me to give me a key. Many restaurants nearby.

This stay was fine. We regretted not having access to WiFi, which is so important for travelers. Our room was accessed through a maze of complicated hallways and corridors, so it was tricky to get to with elderly travelers. My mother got lost at least twice. The room itself was lovely.

Property is not fit for human use. It is filthy. Carpets are threadbare and dirty. Shower had black mold. No facilities. No onsite parking. No toiletries. Many stairs. No afterhours reception. Key card was intermittent. Mattress was old and lumpy, offered zero support. Would not recommend.

Staff at check was unhelpful. We had trouble finding the room because there was no light in one of the hallways and stairs leading to our room. She did not tell us it was on the 3rd or 4th floor, she just said go to the end. I went down to her twice about the light and nothing had been done. Some nice gentlemen, not staff, helped us and two other women who were trying to find there room too. We were not told the front door to the bar closed early. We returned from dinner at 8 and the doors to the bar were locked. We had inadvertently left our key in the room and thought we could get another at reception. The emergency number had to be called and a nice women came shortly to let us in. The room itself is very nice but check in etc. was awful. Also be advised you may be climbing many winding stairs. We were on the top floor and beleive it was the 4th floor.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY - THE WORST In all my many years of travel this property and management proved to be the worst experience I have ever had. When raw sewage was back flowing into the shower and overflowing into the carpeting, management (Eleanor) refused to cancel/refund my reservation. I was told, at 3 pm, that the property handyman was called and IF he could solve the plumbing issue, we could still stay in the room. At 5pm a handyman had not arrived. No other rooms were available to switch to, no limit on how long attempts to resolve the situation would continue, and how the now wet carpet and foul stench would be addressed. Just expected to wait out the evening and hope things worked out. A picture here would be worth a thousand words, unfortunately a picture cannot be attached.

Up going somewhere else and not sure if we will get our money back Emailed the property and got a snarky message back to say that they open at 2:00 pm plenty of time for a 3:00 pm check in They should not say that the desk opens at 12:00 on my confirmation if that is not true Really can’t recommend this place
