Good location right on the high street in Melrose, but the hotel is very dated and in need of redecoration. I seem to have been upgraded and had a much better room than I expected, very large with a bay window overlooking the street, so I was very pleased with my stay. Breakfast is good and freshly cooked to order.

Convenient for an overnight stay, but there is no AC or electric fans available at reception and it was a hot day/evening. Breakfast for the price is great!!!

The food and drink in the pub was nice. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was huge but average. The toilet would not flush properly. I would probably not stay here again if there were other options.

Stay was ok however tv didn’t work, bathroom was mouldy, shower was connected to bath taps so couldn’t get a comfortable heat. Breakfast was ok but bacon tasted a bit fishy? Staff were nice.

Très bien

Un très bon séjour. Le personnel est accueillant, l'emplacement est parfait et très calme. Le lit superposé pour les enfants est parfait. Le petit déjeuner très correct. L'hôtel est vétuste et l'équipement de la salle de bain réduit au minimum mais c'est un très bon deux étoiles.

The hotel has seen better days, the stairs to all the bedrooms were never hoovered during our four night stay. Housekeeping gave us fresh towels, tea and milk but did not empty the two bins or make the bed. The windows were not clean. We tried to get a drink at the bar but there was no staff to be seen, no-one at reception either so we just went to another hotel for a drink.
The view from the bedroom window!
