We got a very good deal for a 2 night stay at The Star Hotel, so our expectations were not very high. Our expectations were met when we first arrived and went to our room. It was very small (bathroom door could not fully open due to hitting the bed) with tatty decor and very faded bedding. The bathroom was... More

Scary as fire escape door left open as staff had fags there. Room very near staff rooms so because of noise slept only one night out of three when staff... More

Arrived at hotel, looks dated inside but the staff are very friendly and helpfully, the food was great and large portions. The rooms are small, if you stay ask not to be on the front of the hotel, the street lights keep your rooms bright after dark and there is some noise from the street, you will also hear the... More

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Most people who come to stay at the Star come to hear the bands which are well advertised - I was very surprised when you came and complained as you too seemed to be enjoying the band. I hope the next hotel you stayed at left you with a better... More

Stayed 1 night recently and it was pretty grim. We were allocated room 20 which was small, dated (old portable telly with freeview box plugged into it!) and unpleasant. Fluffy blankets on the bed, pink towels which looked about 30 years old and a bathroom which was just as dated. The menu at dinner had cold gammon salad and omlette... More

The Star Hotel gave me a very warm and friendly welcome after my car broke down on the A9 late on an icy winter's evening. The staff were extremely helpful and the Manager, Mhairi, went out of her way to ensure that my stay was an antidote to the trauma of my disrupted journey. Their very reasonable rates offer great...
