Rosemount Palace

For £50 a night, the location was good, though reception was remote and the place seemed to be awaiting renovation.

The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. My room was very clean and fine for one night, with no wardrobe. The shower had good water pressure and temperature control, and there were tea and coffee facilities in the room. A continental breakfast was included and left outside the room at about 7:00 am.

Our room was dated and tired, though reasonably clean, and towels were provided when we asked. The bigger problem was that we'd booked for three people but had only one double bed. Staff promised to add a single bed while we were out, but it wasn't there when we got back, so one of us slept on the floor. Check-in was meant to be at 3, yet we were locked outside until 3:45 with no way to phone or contact the property. Once inside, we were shown to the room by staff I found unhygienic. It was a poor experience, and I'd suggest avoiding this hotel.

The receptionist was polite, but the breakfast was pretty bad. The room my boyfriend and I stayed in for a night looked completely different from the listing. In the bathroom there was a used bar of soap, hairs in the bath, and the shower looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in years. The sheets felt clean, but the pillowcase had a large orange stain and the towels had black marks.
