Top Desperate Dan Statue Hotel Reviews

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Dundee

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely big clean room. Staff very friendly."

Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 4 nights in September and it would be hard to fault the hotel. The staff were very helpful with anything we needed from the moment we checked in. There was plenty of parking available at a very reasonable cost. Breakfast in the restaurant was good with buffet style continental supplemented with cooked items to order. The room itself was very comfortable and clean. The hotel itself was a short walk from the centre of Dundee and a wide variety of food choice as well as supermarkets."

"Great stay, very clean and tidy. Would recommend."

Parker House

8/10 Good

"Pleasantly suprised by the room, much better than I expected. Bathroom a smidge bigger than the student accommodation I stayed in in Edinburgh, and that small amount made a big difference. Appreciated the shampoo, shower gel and handwash in bathroom, good scent. Also liked that bathroom had a proper light switch that I turned off and on and didn't switch off when there hadn't been alot movement after a minute or two. Bed was comfortable and clean. Appreciated the big shower towel provided. Although wish there had been one for the face, luckily I had one. Shower easy to use and good pressure. Checkin was smooth and pain free. Arrived after reception staff left but the security guard on shift was fab and ensured a smooth and informative checkin - while my terrible memory means I can't remember his name I am very grateful. I checked in on the 27th August 2026. Great and easy walk into and from city centre, which I did. Bus stop isn't far at all if a walk isn't your cup of tea or the weather doesn't allow. Loved how close Dundee law was. Found it easy to navigate there and back- just be warned fairly uphill and a fair bit of stairs (a little more than expected). Really like that it's gated and that room fob needed to even enter. Since I was solo travelling that made me feel extra safe. Only issue when asking online queries, specifically if I could access a iron generic replies were sent that never answered my question. I would 100% stay here again"

Dundee City, Trades Lane Apartment, near V&A

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place. Convenient location. Plenty of room for our group of four. A little noisy in the main room on a Saturday night but to be expected due to all the windows and location on a main street. Would definitely return if we are back in Dundee."
