Lovat Hotel

Lovat Hotel

8/10 Good
"Arrived early by bicycle and permitted us to store our cycles and gear so we could explore the city. We had a bit of kit, we're on an eleven week cycle tour, and manoeuverimg the stairs, hallways and fire doors took effort. Room was reasonably spacious and ensuite comparative Clean and tidy though at times our noisy neighbours could be clearly heard in the hall outside. Loved that indoor bicycle storage was available and offered freely. Came across a number of reception staffers all were good communicators and quick with answers and ideas to help."
