"Long term stay and great find."

CharlieEdinburgh, Edinburgh 19/03/2020

I stayed at the Queens from January 2020 - to March 2020 and would return to the hotel in a heartbeat. The food was good,and the staff friendly. The rooms are furnished to traditional Scottish three star hotel standards, decent size, my bed was comfortable, the room warm with decent TV and great Wi-Fi.. Yes, there was the odd squeaky floorboard - but then my own home has the same issue too. This was my home away from home during what was no a great winter - it's within easy reach of the railway station and bus station. Ditto the city centre is an easy ten minute walk - or less than five minutes (and £4:00) in a taxi. Breakfast was massive - Continental - Cooked or combination of both was available. In room Tea and Coffee was plentiful - ditto the shortbread was great and there is a small gym on the premises, with a car park less than two minutes walk from the front door.. There is also a premium Breakfast menu available. But for my tastes, the standard menu was more than adequate, I suppose all reviews need one negative and my negative is that the building is not the most attractive in the city - but during a freezing cold Scottish winter it wasn't something I dwelt upon unduly, as I shot through the front door of the hotel to a warm Highland welcome. Highly recommended; in summation: good rooms; great staff and all at a fair price. If you need a room in Perth, the Queens is a great choice. And for the sake of transparency, I have no connection with the hotel other than as a paying guest. .

"Outdated and in need of ALOT of work"

Dawn M, Airdrie, United Kingdom 10/03/2020

Booked an overnight here from a group on deal - dinner bed and breakfast. The hotel is very dated, floorboards squeak throughout the full place. They no longer have the pool and only a small gym remains. Our room was tiny, hardly any room for our bags never mind for us to try get changed. Bedside light didn't work, the windows didn't close properly so there was a constant draft, we had to put a towel at the bathroom door. Also the plug at the dressing table was useless, it's so close to the table you cannot get a plug in. We seen they had much larger rooms next door and on the below and above levels that were not occupied, felt it was because we had booked through a deal we got papped into a tiny outdated room. The food at the restaurant was amazing!! Would gladly return for dinner but would stay elsewhere.

"Convenient location"

4
Anne G, Lytham St Anne's, United Kingdom 11/02/2020

The hotel is situated close to both bus and rail stations so is a good central location. It is a comfortable place to stay though my room,overlooking the bus station but not troubled by it, would benefit from a little upgrade. However it had a comfortable bed and there was plenty of hot water. The food was excellent with a wide choice at breakfast. As I only had an overnight stay I didn't have time to use other facilities - spa etc.

"New Year Break"

Daffodil1972, Erskine, United Kingdom 30/01/2020

Have stayed at this hotel about 5 times and this was the 2nd year in a row for new year with an urquhart tour. We had a great time with our friends. On arrival we waited ages to get our room keys, not enough chairs to sit on and limited amount of tea & cakes. Bedrooms and the hotel are now looking very tired and old. Leisure centre now closed for good but no mention of this. Most of the food was nice but some of it was not very tasty. Certain drinks only in downstairs bar and not in the function hall so had to go up and down. The only reason I would stay again is the staff as they are all really nice and remembered us from previous years.

853christyb, Scotland, United Kingdom 26/01/2020

We have stayed here before and overlooked the tired decor of the rooms but latest stay was poor. We booked this hotel for the pool only to discover it was shut. Breakfast service was slow. Staff in the restaurant were scruffy and food was average.

Sad and disappointed to see this once lovely destination now tired and needing attention. Our room as a bit shabby and the window didn't close correctly Sports facilities have not been fully operational in our last two visits Staff were excellent as usual, but they have an impossible task Shame it is like this - but I will not use this hotel again

"Very Poor"

User 05/01/2020

On a Hogmanay trip booked thru Urquhart Tours (which had its own problems). On holiday from Vancouver with Canadian wife for her first Sottish New Year. On arrival hotel appeared to be caught off guard with a shambles in allocating rooms. When asked about the delay the duty manger was abrupt and unhelpful, an attitude she kept up for duration of stay. For evening meals the set menu was very limited and the quality of food abysmal. Lasagne was store bought, the cod was off, steal pithivier (pretentious steak pie) was worse than Greggs steak bake (Scots will know the comparison) and sausage and mash was offered as a New Years Day meal. Portion control was miserly though given the quality of food maybe not such a bad thing. The serving staff did their best to cope with the large dining party though 2 girls in particular were surly and disinterested. Seating arrangements were haphazard, twice we had hastily assembled tables. On the last night of trip several members of the coach party refused to dine in the hotel. As for the 'entertainment' on Hogmanay there was a guy in an ill fitting kilt who performed to all his music on a backing tape with the charisma of a wet flannel. Presenting this to overseas visitors as a taste of Scotland is very poor.

"Group Christmas Party Break"

3
Ali5onB, Glasgow, United Kingdom 03/01/2020

Stayed for 2 nights with a party of 10 (5 couples) for Christmas party break and having previously stayed here a few years ago knew it was in a great location and had pool etc. The hotel is looking quite tired and I don't think any upgrades have been carried out since my last stay (about 10 years ago!) However, for the price we paid can't expect 5* My room and bathroom were both quite large and situated on a corner with 2 large windows so a nice bright room. The room was well equipped with hairdryer, iron & board and tea & coffee. But the decor is dated and tired - the carpet was badly stained and the bed quite uncomfortable, although the bedding was very clean and the bathroom was spotlessly clean with a good shower (once you managed to sort the temperature!). On our first night we enjoyed a short walk into town (about 10 minutes) where there are plenty bars and restaurants to choose from. We returned to the hotel just as the party night was coming to an end and as we were attending the following night, decided to have a sneak peek - looked quiet but good. Staff told us that bookings was much busier for the Saturday night. Breakfast is buffet continental with cooked breakfast made to order. Saturday morning breakfast and service couldn't be faulted. Sunday morning was much busier and service was a bit of a hit or a miss but food was still very good. Saturday party night was excellent, the dj was really great and definitely played to his audience. Selection of food was good and tasty but one of our group waited almost 15 minutes for their main and as we were waiting to eat together everyone else's was getting cold! Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the party night, great value & great atmosphere. Unfortunately Saturday overnight was awful - there was a large group of approx 30 females who were VERY noisy and staying in rooms surrounding us. They had music blaring and were screaming, shouting and singing at the top of their voices until well after 2am. Unfortunately there is absolutely no noise insulation in the rooms so this made for a very uncomfortable night. I did go to the leisure centre only to find that only the pool was in commission everything else was closed. The staff member on duty was most unhelpful and clearly didn't want the hassle of guests in the facility so I gave it a miss. This hotel is in a really great location, right next door to the bus stop and train station and a short walk into town but it is very tired and although our break was really good value for money, I don't think I would return unless it has undergone some refurbishment.

"End of an era"

GrampianScotland, Perth and Kinross, United Kingdom 31/12/2019

The leisure centre will close this week after 30 to 40 years of use. It needs refurbishment and the new owners are unwilling to spend money on it. The small gym will remain open but it has only a few pieces of equipment in working order. This area used to be the function suite of the hotel but they now have large ballroom upstairs that is hardly ever used for weddings or other events. There is a lounge bar on the ground floor that is always empty as it fails to serve bar meals. The hotel does not seem to have regular bus tours coming in and depends upon bookings from Best Western's website and companies holding sales meetings for their reps. Guests should note that the hotel is now charging £5 per night to leave a car overnight in their private car park

"Good location, badly needs renovated"

3
carolinemL3241FK, Dundee, United Kingdom 08/12/2019

Stayed 3/4 times now. Great location, friendly staff. Cosy bar and friendly Barman John. Hotel badly needs money spent on. Disappointed to find jacuzzi no longer available re needs repaired at huge cost. Not advised on booking or at check in. Also steam room was out of order. At least could use pool and steam room. But couldn't use spa on 2nd stay day re boiler broken, so no hot water for shower or heating for part of day. This normally cosy hotel badly needs money spent on repairs/refurbishing. Will prob stay again if back in Perth however.

"Reason to complain "

arterslawn, Hampshire, United Kingdom 28/11/2019

We recently visited Perth for a family party. We believed when booking a Best Western we could expect a certain standard but on this occasion we were wrong . Without going into to great detail we had more than one reason to complain ! However, the Management dealt with our complaints appropriately and refunded our money for our 3 night stay ! I do believe they now have issues that need urgent attention ! At all times the staff were helpful and polite .

"Not worth a visit"

cutcrew, Birmingham, United Kingdom 25/11/2019

Stayed here with some friends for one night. We paid £80 for a double room with breakfast. The room was basic, with dated furniture and tired looking. The shower didn't even work properly. The kettle in my room set the fire alarm off!!!.. it looks like a work in progress with half painted, unfinished areas. The food was awful.. 3 of us had raw sausage and the breakfast was luke warm. The ‘bar' looked like a community hall,it was cold, uninviting with dated pattern furniture. The night porter was a lovely man he couldn't do enough and was friendly and pleasant. The other staff were friendly too but they all looked stressed and unkempt, it seemed they were constantly understaffed. The location is perfect for the train station!! WILL NOT BE RETURNING

"Great location."

PaulPhilly, Lytham St Anne's, United Kingdom 20/11/2019

Being immediately adjacent to the bus station, right across from the train station and a literal two minute walk to the main street with all its shops, etc, you can't get a better location. The rooms are a bit dated and the finish in some parts does look a bit shoddy, but the room was spotless, comfortable, surprisingly well equipped even having a trouser press and increasingly rare now, a sensible size of television in a sensible spot easily and comfortably watchable from the seating/bed due to a moveable arm that gave a lot of options. Too much now I see a tiny tv mounted miles from any seating that result in a sore neck and headache from trying to see that far away at a funny angle, so this was a welcome change! Oh, and there was a full bath, not just a shower and all the radiators and towel rail were on, so toasty warm as soon as I got in.

"Overnight Stay for Business"

suegibson100, Lichfield, United Kingdom 17/11/2019

This hotel had a number of plus points: * close proximity to the train station - it was less than 100 yards, saving in taxi fares and less chance of missing the train * Swimming pool open 7am to 9pm was lovely and except one couple for 10 minutes I had it all to myself for a 7am swim * Nice breakfast - freshly cooked and decent choice * WiFi was reliable * At a business meeting in the hotel, the day after my stay, we had sandwiches and a great tasting home-made soup and fab homemade shortbread On the downside as others have mentioned: * this hotel needs a makeover as has plenty of out of date decor in dark wood, creaky floors, noisy plumbing and on arrival the room was freezing. * I was also disappointed that despite saying I was staying over to attend a meeting in the hotel next day, there was no discount on the room charge. Really great location for travel? But if you are looking for hip and trendy environment, you will be disappointed.

User 23/10/2019

Lovely staff and very very clean, but very run down hotel. Desperately needs refurbishment everywhere. We mainly went for the swimming pool which was fine, and the gym looked fab though I didn't get a chance to use it. But just generally old-fashioned and full of creaky floorboards and old plumbing.

"The staff make it!"

Azzagazza, motherwell 20/10/2019

Stayed for 3 nights in an “executive” family room with my sister and daughter. It certainly was not executive but was most definitely very clean! The whole hotel is in need of a refurbishment and hopefully there will be some investment made as it is a lovely old building with a lot of charm and is in a great location. The staff make the hotel, every single member of the team were incredibly pleasant. In particular the young man in the breakfast room was very cheery and a bit cheeky!!! He certainly did put a smile on your face first thing in the morning! The food was delicious at both breakfast and the bar food that we ate on two nights. Come on Best Western put some money into this old treasure it deserves it.

CAPTAINSCOTT46, East Calder 19/10/2019

Had three rooms, all were clean. No gripes. Previous reviewers commented on various things like decor and creaky floorboards. Wasn't an issue for us. But does need a bit of investment.Nights sleep was fine. Loved the breakfast,cooked to order, great bacon. Everything was there that you needed. Hotel within five mins of the high street, easy access to central Perth. No complaints, if I had it would have been done at the time

User 14/10/2019

Arrived at the hotel to be met with a lovely helpful cheery receptionist , only cheery thing about the hotel . Room 211 was very dingy tired and dated although it was surprisingly clean . Hardly slept as room was so hot even with window opened and radiator off . Cocktail sheet on each table but we were disappointed to be told by 2 staff members that they weren't trained to make any of the 6 advertised cocktails even though it was a Saturday evening . Breakfast service was good and staff pleasant and helpful. All in don't think we will be returning was expensive night away for what we received .

Ray131262, North West England, United Kingdom 12/10/2019

Yes, this hotel is dated but it's clean, tidy and comfortable. If you can't see past the old style decor then don't stay. Room was OK, quite spacious, bathroom fine, bed comfy. Didn't eat at the hotel at all nor use leisure facilities. Centrally locates with car park at the side. Staff lovely and efficient. I did find at £63 (no breakfast) this was a bit over priced.

"Seen better days."

Aet17, Middlesbrough, United Kingdom 18/09/2019

Booked in whilst several events happening in the area and for the extortionate sum we paid, the only good thing was clean bedding and towels. Hotel in dire need of a makeover. Extremely small double bed in room in need of refurbishment and bathroom that had a full window with handle, very visibly nailed down. Uneven mastic around bathroom fitments, squeaky floorboards and dirty curtains and nets. Breakfast served in a not very well lit room and buffet which represented boxed standard cereals and porridge in a hot container, tinned fruit selections and yoghurt (not in individual pots) and one choice of bread rolls along with 2 slices of ham and 1 choice of cheese, which wasn't refilled on the one plate that they were displayed on whilst we ate, was poor. Croissants and Danish pastries only were refilled onto an empty plate as we left. Main cooked breakfast was cooked to order when we sat down and although good choice, disappointing in quality. Also seemed some guests had different menus to choose from as some were told mushroom choice were only for guests on different packages??!! When asked how was my stay on checking out, I did say - the hotel had issues that need to be addressed to make guests return.

Owen R, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 03/09/2019

I love hotels like this, its an old building with its creaky floorboards and bits that need money spent on it. Its a 3 star not 5, so why all the moans. The public areas are all fine, bedrooms are clean and comfy, look newly painted. Nothing fancy but for the price. The food is well priced and pub food type, all filling and well presented. The staff weer all very helpful and chatty, all a plus point in my eyes. We got a great deal for BB and dinner with a prosecco, for that money how can you want anymore. 5 mins walk from central Perth, on site parking at £5 a night. Pool area was good.

Karent39, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 01/09/2019

Stayed for 2 nights for a weekend break in Perth. Hotel is fairly close to the centre and amenities but is very tired and every single floorboard creaks along with the bed! The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean but our toilet didn't flush properly and it's the first time I've seen an avacado toilet suite in a long time. Very dated and the whole decor of the hotel needs done.

"Just missing the mark"

flybazz, Paisley, United Kingdom 22/08/2019

Stayed for night room was single so expected it to be simple, room was very tired in decor as was shower room. Biggest let down was mattress was suffering from compression and had seen better days making it uncomfortable, window was broken making it fully open or closed, the security spy hole was taped shut as broken, shower head and hose wasn't clean and trouser press timer was broken. To top it off fire alarm at 05:33 made sure I only got four and a half hours sleep possible. On plus side staff were welcoming at check in and breakfast was pleasant but the fabric of hotel rooms drastically needs to step up at check out I wasn't asked about my stay which was disappointing

"Average"

hayleyshepherdx, Dundee, United Kingdom 18/08/2019

Staff friendly, swift and easy check in. Rooms are dated but clean, bed was comfortable but was very warm. I had the window open but had to close it due to the noise coming from the street outside, and just as i was dozing off, could hear someone from the next room throwing up, not ideal! Was also rudely awakened by folk outside walking about due to the squeaky floorboards. Was fine for a bed for the night but i dont think I will stay again. Plus side is also it's right across from the train station and beside the bus station.

"Nice room, nice night, excellent food!"

User 04/08/2019

I was expecting nice and as far as the night went it was exactly that. What broke expectations though was the food. Both the dinner last night and breakfast this morning but in particular the dinner. I got a curry thinking I'd get a hearty meal but nothing to shout home about. What I found instead was an incredible cornucopia of flavour. A bit of spice but not so much it ruined the experience. The room I give 4/5 but the dinner last night brings it up to a five star for me.

OMG, What an absolute DUMP !! We had the total misfortune of having a 2 night stay in this delapitated over priced excuse for a Hotel , They do not take dogs ( my dog would not have stayed in it ) Room was so small I do not know how they got the double bed in ! ( must have removed a wall first ,,) Stifeling heat ,worn out bedding ,certainly not clean,the creaking floorboards were only drowned out by the noise from the train and bus stations ,which you get in sterio due to the location , do yourself a favour ,,,SLEEP IN THE STREET !!!!

OD1964, Operations Director at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Good evening davidmT4517DN, Thank you so much for your charming and informative review!! Did you express these concerns to anyone at the front desk during your stay or request a room move? Had we had several reviews expressing this kind of opinion then perhaps we would start to worry and while not quite the Ritz! we certainly do not merit this. Most guests are pleasantly surprised at the lack of noise from both the bus and train station which close around 11pm so no noise!!! So sorry we didn't meet your expectations on this occasion. Kind regards Susie Farley Operations Director.

Booked directly but did not receive a room upgrade with my Diamond status. Food in the bar was good.Overall average, a typical BW hotel with squeakey floor boards, which is to be expected. Not much in the local area in walking distance.

OD1964, Operations Director at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Good evening Ade W, Thank you for your review and sincere apologies for the lack of upgrade, however we can only offer this upgrade if we have the available rooms, and unfortunately we were fully booked on this occasion. I will pass your kind comments on re the food to our Head Chef Iain. The hotel is a short 10 minute walk from the city center and yes unfortunately most old buildings have a few creaks and squeaks! We hope next time you return we can offer you a complimentary upgrade and look forward to welcoming you back to the hotel. Kind regards Susie Farley Operations Director

Trevor S, Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom 24/06/2019

I've stayed in Best Western Hotels around Britain and all over the world and unfortunately this has been my worst experience! It was undergoing decorating whilst I was there but needs far more than a cosmetic lick of paint as is looking very 'tired'. For the quality of hotel I found it to be expensive for what I was paying! At least the staff were friendly and helpful!

OD1964, Operations Director at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Trevor S, We were very sorry to read that you did not enjoy your experience with us at the Queens Hotel but delighted to learn that the staff were friendly and helpful, yes we have been undergoing some in house cosmetic upgrading to stop it looking tired which is difficult to manage at this time of year when we are fully booked and apologise if this detracted from your stay. We hope to welcome you back to the hotel in the near future. Kind regards Susie Farley Operations Director

Excellent value for the money would highly recommend, the lads all enjoyed the breakfast and the pool and gym were an added wee luxury. More than happy to return to this hotel which was right next to the train station and bus station

"More Like Very Average Western"

monkeyman99, Hartlepool, United Kingdom 22/06/2019

The staff were friendly and polite and the location isn't bad but it ends there really, although the room was clean enough - the whole place is shockingly dated and in urgent need of a refurb, the shower didn't work if you held it anywhere above waist height so I was forced to sit in the bath to take a shower. Stayed in better for less money, very very average hotel. (verging on poor).

"Poor Quality"

Hlt30, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 16/06/2019

We visited for afternoon tea. By far the poorest I have had. The cakes were stodgy and not very inventive. Lacked flavour. Sandwiches can only be described as disgusting. Scone was dry. If you are looking for good food then avoid this like the plague....

Some people would complain about the creak in the floors but it just adds to the character of the place and whilst it's not a modern building it was pleasant and clean and was getting painted when we visited. The hotel is really handy for the train station and the bus station as its across from either but there was no noise that we could here. The hotel car park is not on the actual premises but the property next door. The staff were great, really chatty, helpful and informative. Our room was a good size as was the bathroom. The leisure facilities were also impressive for the size of the hotel, gym spread over two rooms, nice size pool and both the steam and sauna rooms. The only thing we would say is that if the pool was busy there wouldn't be enough seats poolside by all in all a really decent hotel to stop, recharge and explore Perth or wider afield.

719gavins, East Kilbride, United Kingdom 02/06/2019

A good warm welcome on arrival and was advised that if I wasn't happy with the room to come back to reception. Once in the room it was clean and tidy but very dated in urgent need of an upgrade. Our evening was a bit of a hit and miss with both of our starters needing returned, one for being cold and ther for being overseasoned. The waiter handled all of this well and remainder of the meal was okay. Bed was reasonably comfortable and we slept not bad. Our breakfast service was not great and the person taking the orders was a little loud and we heard everyone in the dining room's breakfast order. Willing to try here again after they upgrade the rooms as it is in a reasonable location for walking into the centre and it is next to the railway station.

"I wanted Retro Chic but got Retro Shriek"

Passenger35535751866, Aberdeen, United Kingdom 30/05/2019

Could see the Hotel was retro from the outside but I liked this and was looking forward to checking in. Disappointingly the first room I was allocated stunk of cigarettes so I had to ask to be moved (would've though the cleaning staff may have noticed this, it's a non-smoking hotel). My new room was still very dated, as is the rest of the hotel - needs a refurb. The carpet had some stains on it but there was no horrible smell thank goodness so I made do. Dinner was very nice, good service. I was awoken at 530am with constant noise of other guests going along the corridor with their luggage and travelling up and down the stairs. Breakfast was very nice and again the service in there was good. I reported the noise issue to reception when I checked out and got an apology but no good will gesture or any form of compo. The reason I booked this hotel above others was because it had a nice pool and sauna, however if I was to stay in Perth again I would opt to forgo the pool/sauna and book a hotel in a better condition. I would not return and would not recommend to others.

MagsBHamilton, Hamilton 15/05/2019

Arrived on Monday for a 2 day stay, check in was seamless with the receptionist providing us with all the information we needed about dining, room facilities and leisure centre. Our room was spotless, comfortable with all the usual amenities. We booked in for dinner on the first night and although the food was good I felt the menu was very limited. Breakfast on the other hand was fantastic, cooked to order with plenty of choice. Service in the restaurant was excellent We paid a visit to the leisure centre on Tuesday morning and found that the member of staff on duty was grumpy and unhelpful, A complete contrast to all other staff we came in contact with, I hope it was simply a case of him having a bad day. This would not stop me visiting this hotel in the future as I tend to focus on the positives.

"A bit disappointed"

hammy41, north yorkshire 10/05/2019

Having stayed at various Best Western hotels, don't think this up to the standard we have been used to, definately needs a refurb including the lift there is better hotels in Perth than this at a better rate which in future we would use,couldn't fault the staff.

Visited this hotel for 2 days. Room and bathroom good size and clean. Lovely fluffy towels. Breakfasts and evening meal really good. All staff friendly and extremely helpful.

alexlornie, Carnoustie, United Kingdom 01/05/2019

We had booked an afternoon tea with an Itison voucher. The service was first class and the afternoon tea was in my opinion one of the best I have had and that is comparing it with some 5 star hotels. The savoury sausage roll was very good. The fried sandwiches were obviously freshly made. The scones and fancy pieces seemed home made and were of a high quality. All in all we were very impressed.

"Very tired needs an update"

"Hotel in desperate need of a coat of paint but excellent vegetarian dining options"

olo14, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 23/04/2019

My partner and I stayed here for four nights in March as part of an itison deal. The previous reviews highlight the shabbiness of the place, lack of jacuzzi though it clearly describes one on the website and the creakiness of the floors/ beds, thinness of the walls and just the general lack of modern decoration. This is all true and thanks to tripadvisor we went into a a four night stay being fully informed of all the above and felt the deal on itison deal was so cheap it was worth putting up with a bit of shabbiness. We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. The staff were so lovely and were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. What really made it for us was the food. Being vegetarians, we weren't really expecting much with the included dinner options, however the vegetarian/vegan food options were amazing. Really thought through and incredible planned meals. We are really impressed. The bar was very cheap also unlike a lot of hotels. I really hope the hotel upgrades their decorations /bed etc in the future to the same high standards as their dining. If you get a cheap deal and are willing to put up with drab decorations it's a friendly wee place with lovely dining options and Perth is a lovely city.

The hotel is ideally located close to transport links and city centre. Car parking is available. Managed to get space although relatively small. Staff were very friendly and helpful a real asset. The room was clean and tidy as with the hotel in general very dated and needs updating. Breakfast was uninspiring. The is a cheap overnight option, personally other budget hotels available.

wtm258, Biggar, United Kingdom 15/04/2019

I've stayed here before. Nice easy location to find being close to the train station. Parking is rubbish it's tiny and always full. Reception is alright but dated but the staff friendly. Rooms are very dated although clean. The reception room for the 21st was nicely proportioned and staff very good. Breakfast even though it was cooked it was pretty rubbish the pastries are dreadful quality along with warm milk for cereal. The place has a not bad pool along with steam room and sauna. Just a cheap hotel for a cheap over night stay no luxury here.

There has been no jacuzzi for several months but the website proudly shows photographs of it. As a daily user of the leisure club I have met many guests who have been disappointed that it is no longer in use.

"Quite impressed"

Jeff1903, King's Lynn 04/04/2019

An old style hotel near the station with a pleasant welcome. The room was small, but warm and well equipped. The food in the bar was a bit expensive but nice enough, and while there was no cask ale, the beer prices we reasonable. Breakfast was cooked to order and pretty nice while all the staff we encountered were very nice. Parking is next door, and was pretty full when we were there, due to an event in the function room.

"The room was huge and the staff excellent"

User 29/03/2019

We stayed for 2 nights on the 25th march. We were in room 502. It was massive and very clean. The bed was really comfy. It was a bit dated, but was still lovely. I was very surprised at the bar prices. Usually hotel bars are expensive this wasn't. The staff were very friendly and always helpfull. The pool was lovely, the steam room was nice but dated. The sauna didn't work very well as the door wouldn't close fully. Was a lovely hotel for the price. If u look past the dated decor it was perfect.

Room clean but very dated and limited choice on menu, there needs to be more thought into the menu. Wouldnt recommend very creaky floor boards in room 312 and you could hear every footstep from room above equally squeeky floorboards. Bedrooms long over due a facelift

allisont994, Aberdeen, United Kingdom 24/02/2019

Stayed 1 night with my young son in this centrally located hotel. The main thing I would say is FRIENDLY! The staff were absolutely lovely, and we felt so welcome from the moment we stepped inside. As expected it's an old building and as such the rooms reflect this but don't let that put you off. The beds were comfy and the room had everything we needed. Best of all, the pool, which was just fab! I'd definitely come back!

The Queen's Hotel is in an excellent location, only a short walk to the center of town. The hotel is very nice, just a bit dated. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, you can have a much as you like to eat, no-way you leave there hungry. The pool, sauna and steam room are very good, just a pity there is a problem with the jacuzzi which will probably be out of order for a long time.

scotland1961, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 16/02/2019

Visited this hotel earlier this week. It was tired and noisy. There was a lot of doors slamming from about 6.30am and the traffic was also loud. The pool was small, the door of the steam room was broken dispite Bernini closed for maintenance only a week before. The jaquzzi was still out of order but no one told us. However the staff were lovely and the breakfast was excellent. Overall we were disappointed with our stay and certainly would not return or recommend it.

Shops, restaurants and bars close by. Staff very nice and friendly and took time to speak to us. Food really nice and a buffet at the bells. Swimming pool available & a car park. Lovely big towels in bathroom. Would definitely stay here again.

Booked this hotel with Urquhart coach holidays and have to say this has been one of the best new year holidays and we've been going away for 19 years . Hotel staff were so friendly and helpful whole time and got a good laugh with them as well . The food was great and always hot and served on hot plates too. Choice of up to 9 items with any kind of eggs , that was after you had your usual cereal , fruit juice , fresh fruit and all that goes with it . Main meals were of same quality all served by the lovely staff . Only 1 downside was the entertainment , both nights being the same girl singer who didn't really play to her audience but we made our own good times . Went on excursion to Dundee if you like shopping that's the place to be . Before making our way back to the coach went into a couple of bars which were bouncing with atmosphere . On new years day we went to pitlochry for a massive street party which was absolutely out of this world . The hotel was spotless with beautiful huge soft pure white towels . Everywhere in the hotel was just immaculate so this is definitely on the list for a return visit . Train and bus station just outside of hotel and very handy for shops etc .

"Christmas Party"

User 11/12/2018

Two minutes from city centre and next to railway station and has hotel parking. Typical Christmas Party Night. £28 party night and cheap rate for bed and breakfast. Rooms were cozy and very clean and bed well presented. Shower screen for bath was poorly fitted and water ended up on floor. Water could have been warmer. Party night was good. Meal was excellent and that's hard to achieve on these nights. Our table were all impressed. DJ was poor and needs to forget the 60s and 70s music. Fair enough to play occasional classic but it appeared to be his main stay and he was not for taking requests. Later on he did play a little newer music. Breakfast was really good and staff throughout deserve praise. Good value overall so if you are thinking about it I'd go along.

"Great on service!"

Gordon H, Killin, United Kingdom 25/11/2018

Hard to ignore that the hotel is not new, but that said, I had a lovely stay for a weekend conference recently. The food was well priced and excellent value for money rather than 'extra special', but the service more than made up for that. I would certainly stay there again!

mickhilton, Kinloss, United Kingdom 26/10/2018

I stayed here last week, with colleagues staying in another room in the same hotel, so this review includes feedback form the three of us. Firstly, the rooms. Comfortably heated, so despite strong wind I didn't have to sleep with pyjama's etc. But I wasn't a sweltering mess either. The balance was just right. I stayed in a single, my friends in a double. There was a decent amount of space, and I enjoyed a bath as it's not shower only. The food both in the evening and the morning was of a good standard. To work up an appetite one of my friends even enjoyed the use of the on site swimming pool. The staff, especially the young waiter we had in the morning, could not have been more helpful or courteous. They really made you feel like they wanted to please. As for the price, very reasonable. I will definitely stay there again when in Perth.

"Staff are incredible, pool is nice, but hotel very run down"

Joanna381, London, England, United Kingdom 26/10/2018

I stayed here for two weeks, I couldn't have felt more welcome. The staff were the friendliness people I've ever met! I cannot speak highly enough of them, they were fantastic. The pool was lovely, and the changing rooms were always clean. The gym was actually a fairly decent size, and fairly well equipped. We ate at the bar twice and it was nice pub food. However the hotel is seriously dated and run down. The carpet is worn, the floorboards creak, the windows let a draft and noises in, you can clearly hear people walking round the corridors, the shower isn't powerful and sometimes I struggled to get it warm enough, the pillows were thin and the furniture dated. The wonderful staff have saved this review from being terrible. I may go back as I felt close to the staff by the time we left, and it was convenient having the pool, but they will have to update the hotel soon, it really had a poor appearance

"Requires attention"

Alistair C, Montrose, United Kingdom 20/10/2018

Selected the hotel from other reviews. On the first night the fire alarm went off, tried phoning the hotel reception to find out what was happening only to get put through to the welcome to the queens hotel, press one, press two and could leave a message. So we followed the instructions and made our way from the fifth floor only to pass member of staff in the corridor, people using the lift and arrived at the reception only to be told that there was not a fire. Raised the point of the phone only to be told that that is how the system works. Did not get the warm fuzzy feeling. Went for breakfast and the quality was fine enough but the wait of thirty minutes to get the cooked breakfast was disappointed. Would not stay again or recommend it.

"Training Course"

Angryhaggis63, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 19/10/2018

This hotel is located right across the road from the train station & bus station, so ideal for anyone not driving. As already stated by others the hotel is looking tired and in need of a lick of paint, however: The hotel has 4 floors of bedrooms, ranging in double and single occupancy rooms. The food was excellent and great value for money. The bar is small but ideal for the amount of guests in at the time I was there. The room was ideal, comfy bed, en-suite, tv in the room and an iron and trouser press. Bathroom was small but ideal for a one person occupancy. I would use it again as it was at a good price and ideal location to public transport. As always you get what you pay.

Susan M, Dalbeattie, United Kingdom 01/10/2018

A one night stay was enough! The room was tired but clean and comfortable. I enjoyed the use of the pool and sauna, all seemed clean in that area. Decided to have a evening meal in the restaurant, bit disappointed with the service and the food. The young waiter was pleasant and tried hard, but lacked finesse and training. Breakfast was a disaster, service slow, staff didn't replenish plates, clear tables etc. Food not good, therefore a great deal of waste, shame!

"Disappointing"

PeterCRiches, Gerrards Cross, United Kingdom 28/09/2018

I love Scotland and Perth is a fine town, I selected Queens as I needed to be close to the station and being a Best Western thought I would get good value. Tired and weary is the only comment I can make, a room which looked grubby, though was not just poorly presented. A shower in which it was almost impossible to turn and TV service from the dark ages. The menu was limited and the chef did not seem to be that helpful. The only positive side was the service on reception and the lounge bar. If I had been there for longer, I would move hotel. Over priced for what was delivered

"No service at all"

pmydon, Cumbria, United Kingdom 16/09/2018

I was in two minds about posting a review but on balance think I am fair here. We had half an hour to wait for our bus at the adjacent bus station. We decided To pop into the Queens for a coffee and/or drink on Sunday lunchtime. When we arrived in the bar there were two servers behind the bar and two customers in the public area. There was some sort of issue with the till which one of the staff was trying to resolve. I waited patiently at the bar for fully ten minutes. At no point did either of the bar staff make eye contact or say “Be with you in a minute”. In the end we walked out. Not great.

stayed at the queens from 1st sept to 8th sept with 55 others whilst we toured Perth and surrounding area, whilst i cannot cement of everyones rooms mine which was 503 was lovely, a large comfy bed, good shower, bed made up daily and refreshment replenished daily. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice at the buffet, and a cooked menu for after that was served piping hot and i was free to pick and choose items if didnt want all, The evening selection we had was a set menu for us with 3 choices in each course ans was served to table promptly, but the restaurant menu looked good and food e was served or i saw delivered to others looked great.. can sat without question all the staff were polite and attentive to our asks,, The pool was small but adequate and was used daily by many of my group as was the gym area.. very central hotel with lovley stroll to the parks or the town centre about 10/15 minutes away bar area was ok with plenty of seating my only negative was my drink of choice is vodka so a premium vodka to offer along side the normal brand would have been good but for the whiskey drinkers plenty of choice,,just have a Grey Goose or Stoli on offer then that would be perfect

D1020NLjosepht, Elgin, United Kingdom 07/09/2018

Stayed here for two nights. Thought the room was a bit dated but I can honestly say the bed was extremely comfortable and I enjoyed the best sleep I had had in a long time. It has free parking. Perth is a lovely town and has a lot to see in it . The hotel is a perfect base for travelling around the area. The bus and railway station are minutes away and there is a great train service to Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The hotel offers a leisure centre and has a nice restaurant offering a good selection of meals. If updated this hotel would certainly be rated a four star .The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Well worth visiting for a short or long stay.

Own parking. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff. Room and good sized bathroom spotless. Leisure faciliities ideal, and we enjoyed our swim in the lovely pool. Ate in the bar from an excellent menu. So...absolutely no complaints! If I had to be picky, it does need updated, but cleanliness is more important, and it was.

We stayed at the Queens Best Western for a weekend recently and had both good and bad things to review. The good points were that the staff were really helpful, food (we had breakfast and dinner) was good quality and reasonable value and the spa facilities were just fine - kept clean and tidy and plenty of choice of pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. It's also a great location in being very close (opposite !) to the railway station and a short walk to Perth town centre. The not so good points were really about the rooms. They are not large - although may be some larger ones - and in this weather they have no aircon so absolutely stifling at night. And then the real issue ... you need the window open because of the heat and this means you hear street noise of people milling around and cars driving by. It's massively worse if there is an event on in the hotel - the function room is on the first floor and the noise of band/disco just rises ... until early hours of the morning. Overall , if you could ensure a quiet room it is actually reasonable value for money given the spa facilities. Top tip - book breakfast the day before and it's a lot cheaper.

"We stayed for a week. The hotel was absolutely fine. The rooms were more than adequate."

Due to an unexpected adddition to our party we had to request a larger room which the hotel was more than happy to accomodate. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The leisure facilities were spotless. We enjoyed breakfast every morning and on the occasions when we dined in the hotel restaurant we found it very good.

"Dated rooms and very noisy"

Sunblueskyy, Edinburgh 19/07/2018

Room was very dated needs a refurbish. Window in the bathroom wouldn't open. I was woken in the middle of the night by drunk people from a birthday party that was being held in the hotel. Also the fire alarm woke me very early in the morning and it was a false alarm someone had let steam from the shower near the fire alarm according to staff. Staff were great and friendly. Easy check in and out.

Stayed here on Sunday night room was nice but due to hot weather needec to open windows so a little noisy as near bus garage. Leisure facilities are very welcome addition but place is a bit tired.sauna and steam room doors were hard to close.I have stayed here previously as great location but feel could do with a little up dating breakfast was good.

woodygorman, Fife, United Kingdom 01/07/2018

Ample parking but have to say that was the only real +. Hotel and health club decor is tired and needs updating.room was clean and bed comfortable but again needs updating / brightening. The breakfast had a good choice but the cooked breakfast was disappointing . I had 2 poached eggs and 2 sausages. One egg was soft the other hard and water all over the plate. Other had full breakfast including burnt tattie scones!

"Bad"

Steve P, Manchester, United Kingdom 29/06/2018

When I lived in Perth 30 years ago this hotel was seen as the best. It had a good reputation. Sadly, now it's a poor reflection of that hotel. The room was very dated. It has an old retro radio and clock built in next to the bed. In itself that is so dated. And it doesn't work. The tv is too far away from the beds for the remote control to work. Everything it's so old. The lift is grubby and dirty. £75 a night is outrageous for this hotel. I wouldn't imagine there's much repeat business hee. It's just poor value for money. The noise from outside its bad. Trains constantly screeching past and drunks from the pub rather loud. Such a shame. Was looking forward to staying here but will not be back.

"Experience not recomended"

frequenttravel2018, Fife, United Kingdom 14/06/2018

My 3 night stay is not to be recommended, in fact not even 1 night. The bathroom fan was disgusting and despite saying they are considerate of the environment they are not. No reuse of towels or plastic cups in bathroom. Ate out on night 3 as could not face another night of badly cooked food from a very limited menu. Better value and quality at Wotherspoons which is a ten minute walk away. Car park not at hotel but across the road and not well sign posted. This is a very dated tired hotel that needs a major makeover

"Will not use this hotel again"

smiler1990, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 14/06/2018

There was no sign of management in this hotel so the criticisms are not of the staff who were doing their best. The food was terrible at the evening mealtimes, the breakfast food was better/average. We sent food back one night at the evening meal and the next night decided to go and eat elsewhere instead. Some of the waiting/bar staff would benefit from better training so that they are more confident waiting on (I did this job myself for years) i.e. always have your notepad on you, trained to use the tills, knowing the specials/soup of the day, taking away menus when ordered etc The pool/sauna are very good and the rooms were sanitary and everything worked. However, the bar has no atmosphere. There was also a file in the lobby which said this hotel is green. It wasn't from what I could see. There were plastic cups in the bedrooms and towels were washed regardless (all you need is a wee sticker saying 'leave towel in bath if you need it washed' like Premier Inn). These small touches would save money whilst fixing the things above would bring in more money, seems like a no brainer!

"Worst Western"

Rachiefeet, Perth, United Kingdom 13/06/2018

Best western more like worst western. We went into the best western by accident as we had booked the station hotel which is across the street, which was clearly our mistake. Upon entering the hotel the receptionist asked for our booking conformation as we had booked via booking.com and said that everything was fine, he then reitterated that we were in the station hotel before he took the person I stayed with's driving license then showed us to our TWIN room when we had ordered a double room. He apologised for this and let us into the room. Upon entering we were very dissapointed, the whole room was dirty, there were cobwebs and stains everywhere and the air was thick and hard to breath in. We decided that since we had already paid for the hotel and it was getting late that we would just stay the night. We woke up bright and early after barely any sleep and got straight out! There was no chance that we would eat anything from such a grimey establishment, upon trying to retrieve his driving license we were told that we had not infact paid for the room, after about a 30 second delay we decided to cut our losses, pay the money and be free from this dreadful hotel.

andypandy13742, Perth, United Kingdom 13/06/2018

We booked the station hotel which was the hotel opposite the "best western" and accidentally turned up to the best western and told the receptionist that we had booked a night at the station hotel and showed him the booking confirmation, he then told us we were at the right hotel and that he had a room for us just with no key,he took my Id and took us to what I can describe as the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in, it was dirty and the walls were yellow, we looked past this and decided to just go to sleep,I woke up and went to the bathroom which to my surprise had stairs going down into it which I fell down, upon sitting on the toilet down the stairs I noticed a massive gap under the door which made me feel very unprivate, the next morning we went to reception to get my Id and they refused to let us out until we paid money which we were told we wouldn't have to pay the night before, the receptionist said she spoke to the receptionist from the night before and basically we got scammed into staying a night in what I would call the worst hotel I have ever slept in period. Save yourself the money and sleep rough!!! We were very angry and disappointed and we will be taking this further.

Elderly couple and adult son received excellent service and advice. Staff went out of their way to assist in parking when the hotel was very busy. The rooms were very clean and well thought out. The water pressure and temperature of my shower on the third floor was excellent.

carolinemL3241FK, Dundee, United Kingdom 07/06/2018

We've stayed at Best Western Queens before and did so again at the beginning of June re Lionel Ritchie was playing in Perth. The hotel is in an excellent location, minutes from both rail and train stations and within easy walking distance of the city centre. It's a homely hotel with a cosy bar and friendly staff. We always enjoy the lovely leisure facilities there; the pool, hot tub, steam room and sauna. There's also a gym. We'll be back.

"Excellent stay"

DianeP2, Prestonpans 04/06/2018

Just returned home from a 2 night stay in this hotel and would highly recommend. Excellent location, walking distance to town centre, we had 2 large family rooms which were spotless and spacious with nice comfy beds. Service received from check in to check out first class. We ate in the restaurant on our 1st night, could not fault food or service received, 5 empty plates were returned and worth every penny which was very reasonably priced, good choice of breakfast from full Scottish to fresh fruits, yoghurts, cereals, rolls, croissants, Danish pastries plus lots more, We also made use of the pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. I would like to give a mention to John the barman and thank him for looking after us on our last night, such excellent service received in all areas of this hotel, would not hesitate in returning or recommending.

jamilex76, London, United Kingdom 29/05/2018

We recently visited Scotland for the bank holiday weekend and on our way down to Edinburgh from Aberdeen we stopped over night in Perth for a rest and shower. The hotel staff we friendly, the hotel did look like something from an old 80's horror movie... incredibly dated, squeaky floors, very hot... that said we had a pleasant stay it was clean and good enough for a night pit stop. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast tho we did complain about the breakfast and the staff were understanding enough to not charge us. Perth was a Beautiful place to stop over and on the whole could have been worse.. Ah, also slightly overcharged for room

Jane D, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 27/05/2018

Hotel is old fashioned compared to what we are used to, however is clean and comfortable, bed was very comfy! Floorboards very squeaky, and no air con so was noisy most of the night as we opened the window and our room was street side. Breakfast was mixed experience, hubby enjoyed his, however my scrambled eggs weren't cooked enough for my liking. Overall a good stay, free parking and 5 mins walk to town centre

MikeSheff, Owner at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Jane D, Many thanks for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. We should not really complain about the good weather - we don't get that much of it. We have a supply of fans available at reception, our conference and events rooms are air conditioned, but not the bedrooms. Kind regards

Ian M, Glasgow, United Kingdom 27/05/2018

Check in and out were handled very efficiently and quickly, and I thought the hotel was in a good lcoation. On heding to the lift there was a selection of brochures about varuous local attractions, but no light so impossible to see what these were. I'd suggest either getting a light or moving the lfyers to a brighter location My room was very comfortable and the bahroom looked as if it had been modernsed. Comfortable bed and plenty of storage space too When I went for breakfast the first morning, the room where it was served was quite badly lit-the second morning more lights had been turned on, so maybe just an oversight on one occasion Good Scottish breakfast and pleasant service If coming back to perth, I would definitely stay here again-handy for tien and public transport

Lovely welcome Room ok on 4th floor but noise of movement from room above was incessant due to noisy floorboards. Leisure facilities are superb / high levels of maintenance and supervision are evident and much appreciated. Thankyou Need more info re access to town centre. But it is close enough to enjoy all Perth has to offer from theatre to cuisine. Be aware that perth is not a 'late' city so hit the streets early if you want a full night out!

JulieDuck, Aberdeen, United Kingdom 21/05/2018

Booked for a Hen party so wanted something cheapish but comfortable. This ticked all boxes. Near train station and walking distance to shops & restaurants. Our double rooms were clean, spacious and beds comfy. Bathroom dated but clean. I would say all the decor is dated but well maintained, not shabby. We didn't use the gym or pool. Breakfast was good we had food cooked to order there was also a limited buffet with cereal & fruit salad etc Would stay again if I return to Perth for a weekend.

"A week in a single bed"

Jim F, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 19/05/2018

Booked through an agency and for the first time in probably over 30 years I opened my room door to find a single bed! Nightmare. The hotel was clean but in need for some significant investment as it was looking very tired. It would not be a place I would willingly return to. It is however ideally located between the bus and railway stations.

MikeSheff, Owner at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Jim F, I can imagine your surprise!! When agents have a specific remit to book a single bedroom, this is usually based on price. We do have other rooms within the hotel, it just happened that when a single is booked that's what we allocate. With your next booking, perhaps just give us a call and we will ensure that you get a double bedded room. Best regards

Peter Y, Kendal, United Kingdom 18/05/2018

Stopped one night away with work. Really friendly staff from reception to restaurant very helpful and pleasant. The Hotel and in particular the Rooms were very clean. The hotel and the rooms are in need of refurbishment which has been commented on by others, in particular the bathrooms which are old and dated (not very often you find a wooden toilet seat in a Hotel bathroom nowadays from my experience) - although i will say they were very clean despite the age of the fitments and tiling. I ate in the restaurant for my evening meal and breakfast and the food was excellent and good value and i would definitely eat here on my return. I would use this hotel again for work if i am in Perth. All round good value for money and very clean.

"Really Needs Renovating!!!"

User 11/05/2018

Stayed here many times over the past year and though it is fine for Perth, it really needs some serious renovation investment. At the least, it could do with new mattresses in every room (I have stayed in rooms on every floor and usually have one of the top floor suites). Décor could do with some lighter paint on the walls so it doesn't feel so dreary.

Sue A, Derby, England, United Kingdom 30/04/2018

I have never been so dissatisfied with a hotel. Very tired hotel. Small lift. Short staffed so had to wait for service. Room above entertainment venue, no warning given about a 21st party. When complained about the load music was asked what I wanted them to do about it. It would have been nice to have been warned about it on checking in. totally ruined my time in Perth due to lack of sleep. Will definitely not be going back.

"Great central hotel for city night out"

douglas b, Dollar, United Kingdom 02/04/2018

This hotel is perfect for city centre pubs and restaurants, the room was clean and spacious, beds spotless and all at a good price. Do not be put off by some people who have posted bad reviews, this hotel is probably one of the best Perth has to offer, the liesure complex was very nice, small pool, jacuzzi and steam room, it seemsd they limit the amount of persons in that makes it more enjoyable. Breakfast was great, as much as you want, help yourself to cereals, coissants and fruit etc, full scottish fry or smoked fish, nothing was a problem. I would recomend this hotel to any of our friends, staff were friendly and good value for a night in Perth. Will go again

"Yikes!"

Sam H, Swanley, United Kingdom 15/03/2018

Having stayed in the other local Best Western I had positive hopes for this stay for several nights. However, it failed in numerous ways. The staff were friendly up in my arrival and were helpful to several questions I had about the hotel and local area. Whilst I as in a single occupancy room I was still surprised at the cramped feeling. I would've thought it would have been more appropriate as a store cupboard! The room whilst was clean, needs an update and looks knackered. I was disappointed that there was no bath and a 'power' shower...with little power. You could sit on the toilet to do your business if the radiator was on as this was directly next to it and you would therefore burn yourself. A deal had been placed in front of the radiator in the room so if you wanted to turn the heating on you had to guess how much you had turned the dial as the desk blocks you from seeing this. There was also a lamp above the bed but no power switch. Very odd. Breakfast on the first morning was pleasant- what I expected. However dinner that evening was incredibly poor. Service as extremely slow and with a number of hotel residents the two staff who appeared to be run of their feet couldn't keep up. The next morning breakfast was rather disappointing- again slow service and they failed to take my correct breakfast order. My biggest gripe was being awake at 1am by continual movement in the downstairs of the hotel by what I assume was someone moving furniture or unloading something. This started at 8pm the previous evening and carried on throughout the evening. I did manage to fall asleep but was awake by the noise. I called reception and was told this noise would stop immediately- but it didn't. It went on for a further 2 HOURS! All in all a shocking stay, I hardly slept whilst there and even the basics of hotel etiquette wasn't found. I travel on business frequently and will not be staying here again and book elsewhere in the local area.

"Awful"

1
AnotherGeordie, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom 11/03/2018

This was a truly awful stay, please see my previous reviews this is very much the worst place I've written about. The hotel is well located for the station and when I arrived I was in some discomfort having put my back out the morning of travel so the lady on reception directed me to the local tesco's and offered to store my bag behind reception until I returned. So far so good, unfortunately that was the last positive. I returned to the hotel to find reception abandoned and my case on display for anyone walking in to see. I waited a full 5 minutes including checking the bar area for a member of staff but no one was there. In the end I went behind reception and retrieved my case before finding a cleaner to let them know what I'd done. When I got to my room I discovered the over bath shower was running cold, I told reception (who apologised for leaving my bag) and asks for it to be looked at the following day. The maintains nice man came the following morning as I was heading to my meeting, I was told later that day the issue was fixed so I was surprised to find the water still running cold. When I told reception the problem still existed I was moved to another room that had the same shower only this time with hot water. My meetings finished early and I enquired about cancelling my final night at lunchtime only to be advised this would not be possible as it wasn't my first night (which had a 4pm cancellation) - despite having several rooms, conference facilities,the hotel leaving my bag to be taken by any passer by and giving me a room with a broken shower. Really disappointing service. When I came to check out the maintenance man was in reception and accosted me for daring to advise the problem had not been resolved. He advised, quite aggressively, he fixed the problem and hot water was running when he left the room. I tried to clarify, when reporting the ongoing issue I asked for someone to come and show me where I was going wrong as I I had spent 10 mins trying to get hot water without success and reception had suggested a room move. I stay in hotels every week all around Europe and this is without doubt the worst I've been treat by staff.

MikeSheff, Owner at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear AnotherGeordie, Thank you for your review in connection with your stay at the hotel some 3 weeks ago. It is never pleasing to have a review such as this written about the hotel, and to some extent I see your points of view, however as with every story there are 2 sides. The shower - you were offered a room change on the first night, but refused as it was your intention to have a bath, due to your back injury received earlier on in the day. Un-attended bag - you are correct that your luggage should have been transferred to a secure location. The desk was left unattended for a few minutes, but I agree that this is when opportunists will strike. A suitable apology was offered at the time and this procedure has been tightened up. Early departure - our terms of agreement set by companies and agents are there to protect both parties and are quite clear. Hotel bedrooms are a very perishable commodity, in so far that we only have once chance per day to sell. them. For example, if your plans changed and you had to cancel a pre booked flight, there would also be no refund. As it transpired, you stayed the second night - perhaps preferring to rest your back. Staff attitude - the small conference held at the hotel received positive feedback - our maintenance explained to me that he had advised you that he had tested the shower at length with a thermometer and the hot water was within safety limits that we have to abide by. Finally, it is never our intention to not please customers - sometimes peoples perception is that we are being unhelpful, when in fact things just don't seem to suit someone. Admittedly, your start to the experience with your luggage put you in a different frame of mind. I hope your back is now better. Kind regards

Stayed as a big group in the hotel for 2 nights. Yes the rooms are old fashioned so the shower heat was a bit temperamental but it was clean and well maintained throughout. The staff were wonderful all weekend dealing with our various bar requests and accommodating us so well. They were genuine, friendly and all very good at their jobs. The food served at both our dinner and breakfast on both days was amazing, group of around 18 but every meal was piping hot and tasted great! Finally, the leisure facilities were lovely, small pool sauna steam room and hot tub but great for a couple hours relaxation. Would definitely recommend this hotels to others!

So.. group of 5 girls booked into lovat hotel. Phone call late on Thursday to say it had closed & we ended up getting booked into the queens hotel on same deal. Then I read the reviews - was dreading ! Hotel is 2 mins from train station, right over the road . Check in was fast & the lovely lady on reception , Kaye, was amazing. She kept us right the whole time. Yes the rooms are dated but they are also very big & so clean. Could not fault them. We ate in the restaurant, omg the food was fab, one of the best meals I have had. Plenty of it & so tasty. We had Donna as our waitress, that girl is an absolute credit to your hotel. She was so lovely, made us a map of local pubs. She is a total star. Breakfast was amazing, cooked to order. Was appalled at the attitude of some guests to the waitresses, just no need. We truly had a brilliant time & I would stay here again in a minute. Your staff make the hotel. Thank you. Jen x

Hi Honest review, It would seem that you cannot always believe what you read on Tripadvisor! We are glad that we managed to accommodate your group of ladies - it was terrible news regarding the Lovat Hotel - I was asked by them to accommodate some of their guests on the Thursday night because of their closure - it seems I won't be getting paid for them, but was happy to help the guests who had already booked, paid for and were at the hotel. Your comments have been passed on to the staff concerned and departments mentioned. Remember to book direct in the future for the best possible rates. Best regards

Mark K, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom 10/01/2018

That bad the restaurant is closed now only food available at bar ordered mussels in white wine /cream the smallest mussels I've ever seen smaller than those cheap ones in a jar in chip shop and what tasted like warm milk then a ale beef pie with 4 tiny pieces of meat at a whopping £12.90

Pedro54321, Dundee, United Kingdom 03/01/2018

This is the worst two night package ever and we have been going away with friends for 20 years. The food was absolutely awful the menu was very limited we never had a decent meal when we were there. The staff were good but who ever planned the menu or ordered the food needs to go back to school. The New Year night was the worst ever but the next night was even worse. You don't expect not to be able to eat what is served up but it was absolutely awful beef stroganoff with no beef. We have spent New Year there before and it was good. I can only assume they were making a lot of money on the food menu. We came away from the table thinking if there had been a fish and chip shop open we would have been there. The only good thing was the music. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. We will not return.

Spent the Hogmanay in Perth here on a Bus Tour, entertainment wasn't too bad nor too good,the food well if that's what you call it was absolutely disgusting, no vegetables but the best was no meat in the beef stroganoff, this was all gravy, one member of staff told us he would feed his dog this!! The meals were just shocking, but the chef had walked out at Christmas said a staff member, shame cos the hotel was clean, but not to be repeated, oh and please watch the shower, it's very very hot or very cold but good luck!

User 10/12/2017

Check in was good, nice friendly girl on reception , we were on 4th floor so into the box sized lift we go .on entering our room (406) we thought very small no space to even walk round the bed. Bed very soft and lumpy, didn't get a great nights sleepbecause of this then the noise from the function hall on the 1st floor. Looking forward to breakfast but was quite disappointed as it was just flung onto the plate and looked like a dogs dinner. We were not looking for the ritz but for £80 a night thought it might have been a more pleasant stay. On complaining at check our the receptionist told us it's always like that in month of December due to party nights (could have told us on booking ) not quite the answer we were looking for

I was booked in here by work. On arriving, the hotel appeared a wee bit on the tired side and could do with some refurbishment, but the staff were excellent. From the lady in the bar to the receptionist, nothing was too much trouble. Dinner, although in the bar, was very tasty and good portions. The room was comfy, but tired. Breakfast was also good with being able to order what you wanted cooked rather than the typical buffet.

My husband and i went in for a glass of wine in the lounge bar . The bar was quiet .i went up to order drinks the barmaid behind bar was busy cutting sellotape and sorting cutlery .we had to wait till she finished before she even thought of serving us and it seen to be annoying for her that we took her away from what she was doing .was not happy with her service .as i thought her job as a barmaid first not all the odd jobs .Needless to say we left after one drink very dissatisfied.

We had to stay in this hotel because of a lift problem in other hotel and I can't say I enjoyed it first problem incurred was the lift suitable for 5 midgets only 3 of us in lift and it's best to say breath in saw a poor woman in a wheelchair having to dismantle it bit by bit to get in needs revamped Saw the sandwich for a guest was glad we went out for a meal Rooms were nice enough but we closed our window and could still hear outside noise Shower very difficult to regulate ended up with Luke warm\\cold and not suitable for disabled Password did not work for Internet and when I phoned reception I was told it is on card I tried and it didn't work As for breakfast well that was a shocker your cooked breakfast was fit for the midgets in the lift not an adult 1 sausage 1 egg and mushroom cut so thin I could have read the paper through it tables too cramped together wheelchair access was almost impossible So summing it up as follows this person writing it is not a midget I like my breakfast this hotel is not designed for anybody with a disability

This is another old building that now shows its age. Tired and need of major refurbishment. Our room was strange and had a staircase leading from the room down into the ensuite. The breakfast was poor and looked like it was prepared much earlier. Creaking flooring all over. Sorry dirty cushions in lounge etc etc. Not going again.

We stayed for one night. In the premise of not notice, the hotel charge us extra one hundred pounds. After we checked out in the morning, the hotel didn't notice us and charged us extra 100 pounds. After we found that bank notice message in the afternoon, we phoned the hotel, the staff's attitude is very rude. The behavior of the hotel is just like to steal the money!

MikeSheff, Owner at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear yonggang I, Tripadvisor is a review site for guests to give their view on recent stays at hotels. The review site is plagued with inaccurate views, of which this is one. Fortunately, as the business owner I am allowed the right of response, and will describe below the truth behind your inaccurate comments above. You arrived at the hotel and argued the price that was displayed, however a compromise was reached. Your stay with us went without issue, however once we serviced your room is was found that you had broken the law and our hotel rules by smoking within your bedroom - a particularly distasteful habit, especially for further guests occupying this room. Evidence was found of spent ash and also a used cigarette within the trash bin of a Chinese brand. For me the evidence was there for all to see of which a picture was sent to you explaining our rules. These being that by signing the registration form you agree to be charged for any damage caused to the fabric of the room and also should it be discovered that smoking was being done in the bedroom a cleaning charge will apply. There are numerous signs within the hotel and the bedrooms explaining that smoking and vaping are prohibited. I can understand your unhappiness at incurring this charge. Please understand my unhappiness at having to deal with guests whom break the law and show no respect to my property. You have done your best to cause further trouble and damage to my business by posting this review and also contacting the brand customer services by alleging I am a thief by making this charge. I hope this has been a learning situation for you. Please respect and abide by rules set for the benefit of all. Kind regards

Ian D, Inverness, United Kingdom 24/09/2017

We booked a two night stay here to explore Perth. It's located close to rail and bus stations and about a ten minute walk to shops and restaurants, so a very good location. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful, it's nice to see good old fashioned customer service. The other old fashioned element was the decor and furnishings of the hotel, whilst kept clean, the place desperately needs upgrading. Our "Superior Double Room" was clean, the bed was comfortable, but did not feel in any way superior. Breakfasts were good, nicely cooked and very fast service. Because of the staff, and the cleanliness, we felt like we wanted to like it more than we did, but the dark dated furniture, decor and carpets kept us feeling we didn't get that "superior room" experience we had anticipated.

Kermit403, Coaldale, Canada 17/09/2017

As Best Western Diamond members we try to book BW as much as possible and we looked forward to our stay at the Queen's hotel in Perth. We knew from reviews that the building was older but we have stayed in some very nice older facilities so we were not deterred. As we drove up to the hotel we said "looks pretty good". I stayed with the car as my wife entered to check in. She soon returned and told me where the included parking was (across the street) and we got ourselves parked, luggage out and into the hotel. The reviews are correct, the building is old, but it is cool old. our room was on the top floor facing the street and as we entered we smiled. This must have been high end accommodation in the day. The staff was friendly, the room was fine, although some touch ups are needed and our stay was very good. We even booked the room for the next night, which we were grateful for. The breakfast was pretty standard so not too much to say on that other than it was acceptable. The dinner meal we had at Scott's Restaurant was average as well. My opinion is that this hotel should not be changed in the layout or the general details. Some carpets and painting/ fine touches may be required, but this is too cool a building to change anything. We will look here again when in Perth.

We only ate breakfast in the restaurant great choice, I recommend the poach eggs mmmmmmm. We even ended up having to stay another night. staff very friendly no problem with the extra night.

Lynda B, swindon 27/08/2017

I travelled to the Queen's Hotel with a private party of over 40. The staff could not have been more caring or hospitable. I have seldom found such friendly staff. The hotel is very clean and well equipped. The quality and choice of food was excellent , particularly as we all ate together in a lovely, private dining room. Nobody waited and we were all served pretty much together. The location is a great Base for touring . If you want to find a hotel where the staff cannot do enough to help you, then you could not do better than book into the Queens. Highly recommended.

Have stayed at this hotel before Hotel lost two of my guests booking A mix up between Booking.com and best western Took a manager to get out of her bed to fix Took over an hour to fix Got up up in the morning to have a shower and the previous guest had left a used sanitary towel on top of shower(see photos) Went to reception to complain Went for breakfast Came back from breakfast and offending item had still not been removed Offered not alternative room to take a shower Was refunded cost of room minus 2 x breakfasts Would not recommend hotel Will not be staying there again

MikeSheff, Owner at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear dodmoffat, It is in cases like these that I thank my lucky stars that TripAdvisor allow hoteliers the chance to respond to a guest review, especially one that would seem to be so damning. Firstly there was a mix up with the bookings made through Booking.com (customer beware that website information is only as good as user input - better to book direct with a real person who understands your needs), but it was quickly sorted out in under 30 minutes by the Manageress coming back into the hotel. With the time being past midnight with him explaining that his guests had been at the Perth races all day, they just wanted theirs beds, which they got. However I am fortunate that they then decided to stay in the bar until 2am putting pennies in my till! It is prudent to point out that this complaint has also be taken to Best Western, where his time to fix the problem was 1.5 hours. This gentleman must be a fisherman as things seem to be exaggerated! Now, to the offending sanitary towel - firstly what kind of lady does not dispose of her personal hygiene items??!! To me it is stomach churning and I am sure it would have been the same for this gentleman. When brought to the Managers attention (the same person who had sorted out the booking issue) the gentleman threatened that if he did not receive a full refund he would be going to Social Media etc. to post his picture. It would seem that blackmail is not his only trait, but also lying about his actions once he got a refund. Blackmailers and liars- don't you love it when they stab you in the back! The Manageress spoke directly to me about the incident on the day it happened - my initial thoughts were that it was a bit of a story that a guest would use to get a free stay - I have experienced many guests who stretch their story for maximum benefit - but even though this was on my mind I still decided that it would be for the best to agree to the full refund. However now in hindsight, after the gentleman proving himself to be a liar and blackmailer, I think my initial thoughts were correct - I am sure the public will make up their own minds on this, now that they have a chance to read the full facts. To conclude, the gentleman was apologised to on many occasions by the manageress and myself in writing. His full refund was given. He demonstrated his own personal traits by wishing to "destroy" my business by going to social media. It seems some customers are not happy until they try and tell the world of what happened to them. Nobody was injured, nobody died, just a really unfortunate isolated incident that offended this person. It would be fair to point out that in my written apology, I hoped that the gentleman would continue to be a customer of the hotel - however it seems we both agree that he will not be welcome back and we certainly do not recommend him as a guest to other hotels. Yours ........

User 01/08/2017

Stayed at this hotel Saturday 29th July as we were attending a family event, we were offered alternative accommodation by family but according to website we could not cancel room without losing our money, what can I say about hotel,, well it was very dated, everyone we spoke to regarding the price of £105 where astounded that it didn't include breakfast, the the staff were nice enough on arrival but the room was unbearably hot, the bed was squeaky and didn't get a good sleep at all, the floorboards were just as bad, the bathroom was probably all the rage 40 years ago but clean enough but the toilet was a nightmare to flush, on a plus side there was an ironing board and iron in the room, I would advise anyone who is looking for something more upmarket to book early and go for something else. It certainly wasn't worth the £105 and I'm disappointed that we just didn't stay with family and save the money.

Pamela W, Berwick-upon-tweed 29/07/2017

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in one of their standard twin rooms. It is conveniently located in the city centre, close to the main rail station, next to the bus station and a taxi rank. It also has the benefit of free onsite car parking for residents. It is a around a ten minute stroll to the main shopping area, bars restaurants in Perth. On arrival Reception staff soon had us checked in, they were friendly and helpful, indeed all the staff we met during our stay were very pleasant, helpful and efficient. The bedrooms start on the second floor (the ground floor being, Reception, and bar.the first floor restaurant areas. There is lift access throughout, the lift is small - two people with two small cases was just enough. I am not sure if it would be wide enough for a wheelchair and carer. Our twin bedded room on the second floor. It was clean, tidy, but small, we could have done with a slightly larger room. There was adequate wardrobe space, highly polished brown furniture. Tea and coffee making facilities, some lovely complimentary shortbread, hairdryer, trouser press. We found the beds to be very comfortable. The room was quiet with no noise from within the hotel or from the outside (even though we had the window open). The bathroom was clean, with a good supply of towels and a rubber bath mat (the rubber bath mat, wasnt particularly good at adhering to the bath though).Toiletries were in containers fixed to the wall above the sink and beside the shower. Tissues (as well as toilet roll) which was a nice touch - so much nicer removing make up with tissues rather than toilet roll. However, like the bedroom, the bathroom was small. There was a shower over the bath. As the bath was located very close to the toilet and contained a semi fixed shower panel, it was impossible to turn on and off the bath taps unless you climbed into the bath, likewise the plug could not be put in the bath until you were in it. We didnt eat Evening meals at the hotel, but we did eat breakfast. The breakfast room on the first floor was spacious, the tables were dressed in crisp white linen, cutlery was sparkling clean. Service was good. Guests helped themselves to food from the buffet table - juices, water, breads, cereals, fruit yogurt, marmalades, jams and spreads. The cooked food was to order at the table, tea, coffee and toast was also brought to the table. We found the cooked breakfast nice and tasty, whilst the cold buffet adequate This hotel also has the benefit of its own leisure centre - pool, sauna, gym which we didn't have time to use. Overall this hotel is conveniently located. does have nice staff, the breakfasts are ok, the rooms are small but clean and tidy and the hotel needs a refurb. In my opinion wheelchair users may struggle here.

Murray M, Glasgow, United Kingdom 25/07/2017

the building needs modernising. the beds are very uncomfortable. breakfast is quite small (one sausage, one bit of bacon etc). car park is congested. sound separation between the rooms is quite poor - woken up by our amorous neighbours. shower isn't very powerful. arrived back at the hotel at 9.30pm - kitchen was closed; quite early considering most people look to eat after 8pm when they are on holiday. bar was ok. staff are pleasant.

Derek H, Freckleton, United Kingdom 10/07/2017

Generally reasonable but careworn with small rooms with too much furniture e.g just a couple of inches between the bed and wall made in difficult to get in/out of the bed which had a very creaky mattress - a chair needed to be moved to access the wardrobe in which there is an ironing table and iron; however with two people in the room using this could be a challenge! The electric shower did not work and we given another room. Food is imaginative, fresh and well cooked - however staff do not know/have not been trained about coeliac needs. (one waitress said "well you know what you can have"). Generally however, staff were helpful and friendly and rooms clean.

Dear Derek H, Many thanks for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel in Perth. Your comments are duly noted and I would like to say that the shower was in a working condition, but had not been operated correctly. I am glad we managed to move your room at your request. It's a shame you did not make use of our in house leisure facilities - perhaps next time - no other hotel in Perth has this facility. Please remember to book direct for the best possible price - using an online travel is not the best price!! Kind regards

Fiona T, Stirling, United Kingdom 04/07/2017

Booked for one night, and although an excellent central location the Hotel was very much in need of some TLC. Staff were friendly, and although the room was spacious it was very tired decoration wise. Although basically clean, the room felt musty and there were quite a few cobwebs on the bathroom ceiling. The breakfast was nice , and freshly prepared and the restaurant staff were lovely. Having been here many years ago, I know what a lovely hotel this can be, and I hope they are on the receiving end of a refurbishment very soon.

TazAviemore, Aviemore 02/07/2017

Stand by my previous reviews of this hotel as a good city centre hotel in Perth. Very handy for station, shops, restaurants and bars. Had a meal in the bar this time which was very enjoyable. Sadly the breakfast which is cooked to order and on previous visits was always hot and plentiful was this time meagre and served on a greasy dinner plate - sausage bacon and poached egg was just that - 1 of each item and the poached egg was flat and hard - disappointing and makes me think that next time will just have room only and get breakfast on the move.

Dear TazAviemore, Many thanks for your recent review regarding your stay at the hotel in Perth.

DebDenTravel, Aberdeen, United Kingdom 18/06/2017

Booked this hotel for one night. Checking in was fine once receptionist finally found my booking. On first impression room was big and bright. I hit the shops which are a ten minute walk away. Back to the room to shower which did take an age to warm up and then ventured to the bar for a deserved wine. Barman was very polite. At breakfast the staff were efficient and very polite. The porridge was spot on. Loved having big choice of pastries. Unfortunately the cooked breakfast didn't hit the spot for my partner and I but there was plenty toast and crossiants to make up for the inedible tattie scone and haggis. Check out was easy. Would stay here again but opt out of breakfast. plenty car park spaces too

Dear DenDenTravel, Many thanks for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel. I am glad you were left with a lasting good impression, but am disappointed that the breakfast did not hit the mark. I believe that we should always produce a good breakfast and if something is not quite correct we will surely change it. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future and hope that you will use our leisure facilities and enjoy a good breakfast. Remember to book direct for the best possible rate - I hate for the middle man when you don't have to! Best regards

User 13/06/2017

Stayed here for 2nights with my husband, we didn't use the spa facilities, breakfast, bar or dining room, so can't comment on those. The double room we were allocated was on the small side but not an issue, a bit old fashioned - especially the bathroom with its green bathroom suite with a shower over the bath. Wasn't the greatest or nicest of roooms but we only slept in the room. Was handy for the train station as only a couple of minutes walk and then 10mins walk the other way and you were in the centre of Perth.

Maria H, Ardersier, inverness, United Kingdom 22/05/2017

Excellent service from before checkin to past checkout. I phoned the day before to see if there was plugs by bed as need medical equipment overnight. A room with such plug wasn't guaranteed but they provide extension if required. Arrived at 10am on Saturday and they kept our bags til we explored Perth. On checkin we found our bags delivered to room with plug by bed. The room was equipped with iron, trouser press, hairdryer, ample towels in bathroom for us. A nice touch in bathroom was box tissues by sink, nicer than using toilet roll when doing makeup ect. Room was clean bed was comfy. A good nights sleep and I complained about no hot water in shower only for my partner to say I hadn't switched it on, power switch by the light switch outside toilet door oooops silly me. I was lovely and hot lol. Down for breakfast we were impressed what was on offer on buffet, cereal fruit yoghurt pastries juices jams even marmite much to my delight. Cooked breakfast order was taken quickly and lovely. Papers available too. On checkout our bags were kept til we went for our train home at six pm. Which was handy as checkin 4 and checkout is 11. There is option to extend checkout but we didn't. The only reason this is not five stars I was shocked at price of soft drinks in bar whilst waiting for our train we would have been cheaper with alcoholic ones lol. The hotel is old and in a review I read previous complained about squeaky floorboards yes they did but it wasn't an issue for us. And maybe a wee sticker on shower switch so idiots like me know what it's for and not complain of cold showers. Will visit again.

Horrible outdated hotel ancient curtains bath all scratched and toilet dont flush don't bother with breakfast the give you one egg small beans stale rolls shocking Liz looks like it's ready to fall down the whole place

MikeSheff, Owner at Best Western Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Isobel T, This lady arrived with her husband for an impromptu 1 night stay. She eventually accepted the third room we showed her even after our offer to refund her money and she could stay somewhere else. In hindsight, I wished we had have told her to go!! After 40 years in this industry you can spot the trouble makers, and this lady was only looking for a free night. To say that her comments are fabricated would not be strictly true, but then they are not completely factual. Even when the Management Team went to investigate her issues within the room, they were initially turned away but once they returned she then proceeded to insult the Directors wife. It's a real shame that guests resort to trying to destroy a reputation due to their own views and perception of what they should get away with. My conscious is clear, that we tried our best with Mrs. Isobel T to make her stay as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately we shall not be welcoming you back. Best regards

The hotel is in serious need of an update. The rooms while clean are drab and tired. The room was very hot during the night and opening the window was very loud due to the station close by. The shower is also outdated. Breakfast was good and the lady serving breakfast was friendly and helpful . I wouldn't recommend this hotel if you want a comfortable nights. I'm sorry we stayed.

fiona602, Aberdeen 12/04/2017

We stayed for one night recently and I had booked it as we like to use pool facilities if available. The hotel is very tired looking and in need of some refurbishment. Our room was nice but the bathroom suite was like something from the 80's, a nice shade of avocado! The pool itself was adequate but the steam room seemed a bit dirty and smelled musty. The sauna was to a reasonable standard. We paid the extra £8 each for breakfast and I don't think it was worth it, standard cold buffet items and you could order a hot breakfast. Again, everything was pretty average. I felt that as we had paid nearly £90 for the room and breakfast, it wasn't good value for money.

Steve B, Dundee, United Kingdom 26/11/2016

We stayed for one night only at the Queen's in Perth,our check in was to be 4pm we arrived a few hours earlier and was greeted by the friendly reception staff and let into our rooms. The room was clean and warm it had plenty tea/coffee making facilities in the room and complimentary shower products. The beds were nice and soft,the only downside is noise from above it sounds like someone is walking about in your room. The location is great it's next too the bus station and a short walk into the town centre. Our room price didn't include breakfast but if we wanted to have it we could and it was cheaper to add it before 11pm that night. Overall a pleasant stay and we would definitely consider come back again and maybe next time use the Spa facilities.

User 24/11/2016

Hotel couldn't be in a better location for Perth station: literally a 2 minute walk, and 5-10 minutes into the city centre. Staff were super friendly and helpful upon check-in and check out, and responded to any queries I had. The hotel itself is totally fine – rooms were clean and had everything I wanted (TV, wifi, hairdryer, etc), and bed was pretty comfortable. Some bits of the hotel are a bit dated now (think 70s wood panelling in the lobby and retro green bathrooms in the rooms), but it does give the hotel a bit of character compared to soulless Premier Inns and the like. For a one or two night stay it did everything I wanted to for a good price.

User 08/11/2016

Hotel looks great from outside, reception gives a good impression. I was staying to attend a wedding on at the hotel and it was a brilliant day. Staff (most) were friendly and helpful and really helped put on a wonderful day. However away from the event itself, breakfast menu was ample but cooking was questionable. Sausage could of walked out by itself, it was so under cooked. Waiting staff were a little to keen to clear away too, put glass down after finishing my juice and it was grabbed and taken before I could say I was going to get another drink. Biggest moan though was the room itself, a little bigger than the broom cupboard. Very small and pokey, though clean it was desperate need of a major refurbishment. Ensuite bathroom again clean, the 80s decor needs an update. For £75 per night a premier Inn is a much better alternative.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Neil C, Many thanks for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel. Your comments are noted and we will address the points you have made. Sunday morning breakfast can be a trial by stampede - everyone makes their way to breakfast in the last 20 minutes before we finish at 10am, although we start at 8am. No matter how much we explain that there could be a delay to receiving your breakfast it still ends up with customers grumbling. We do try our best but the stampede of customers seems to overwhelm what we do. No excuse though for a poorly cooked breakfast - if we are doing it fresh we should do it right!! Best regards

Booked into this hotel for 2 nights as part of celebrating our Ruby wedding anniversary .Check in was okay but not overly helpful. unfortunately I took unwell during the night and we made the decision to return home in the morning. I explained the situation to the receptionist when we checked out of the hotel at 0915 and asked to speak to the manageress regarding the possibility of a refund of 1 night she did telephone the manageress but was informed she was too busy to meet us as she was on breakfast duties. We left with the receptionist assurance the manageress would telephone us to discuss situation as I write this 5 days later still no telephone call

Dear marybwood, Thank you for your review regarding the recent stay at the hotel. Firstly please accept my apologies for our lack of contact post your departure from the hotel.

We stayed at this delightful hotel again recently [ we are regular visitors ] and once again we had a wonderful stay . The staff were outstanding as usual , with Jordan in the restaurant worthy of a special commendation . He is a charming young man and he could not have been more attentive . Katalin , the restaurant supervisor , was professional and highly organised and it is always a pleasure to converse with her . The dinner on both nights of our stay was first class and we have never been disappointed with the food in this lovely hotel . One notes with interest that the staff integrate very well and work together cohesively to provide service of the highest calibre . Several of them [ especially those from outside the UK ] have been working at this establishment for more than four years and seem to be genuinely happy here . We shall return and I highly recommend a visit . Well done and thanks to you all .

Check in was okay, but reception staff weren't overly helpful or friendly. Upon entering and leaving the hotel (and bearing in mind the reception desk is right by the door) no receptionist greeted us or wished us a pleasant day. Disappointing. Breakfast was hit-and-miss and although I personally had no issues, some members of our party were left waiting so long for their hit food that by the time it arrived, they had to leave it. My room was clean, but the decor was tired and both bed and bedding require attention. I have never slept on such a hard mattress and with such hard pillows. Generally a very average experience.

We booked through booking.com and stayed over a weekend. The hotel had free parking and is conveniently located between the railway and bus stations. The double room we had was compact and functional. The breakfasts were really tasty and the leasure facilities (swimming pool) were excellent. The staff were excellent and nothing was a bother. Despite being a Best Western rewards member, I was informed on checking out that I couldn't collect any rewards points as I had booked through Booking.com and that I could've got a better price if we had booked direct with the hotel. This is the only negative bit of feedback. On returning home I couldn't find an item and I contacted the hotel (Katie) who was excellent. She checked our room and phoned me back.

Gave average rating because most staff were great breakfast was lovely poo l was warm . However called fifteen minutes after checking out to alert them that my grandson left his wallet in the room . N o doubt as he never used it and it was not moved from the top of the bed .We only crossed the road to rail station when we realised he left it . No one called back as they said they would and when i called 45 mins later no one had seen it . ???

Dear rayflower2016, Thank you for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel. I am glad you made use of the hotels leisure facilities, of which a late check-out was given free of charge. I am concerned that you have chosen to write about the lost wallet in your bedroom - I was at reception when Agga took your call regarding the lost wallet, she even offered to personally check the room herself - we take honesty extremely seriously within our business, and I feel it unfair that you have chosen to seed doubt in future customers that we have a problem in this area. There could be a simple explanation to explain this for example the wallet could have mistakenly been gathered up within the dirty bed linen without being seen. I have put a request into our laundry suppliers to be on the look out for this item, although it may have been through their wash procedure. I am sorry that this has tainted your opinion of the hotel - Agga was extremely polite in dealing with your telephone conversation, although your hanging up abruptly was an unusual end to the telephone call.

The rooms were clean and comfortable and my only complaint would be the shower was very difficult to regulate and to switch off. The swimming pool and changing areas were lovely - clean and well maintained. We stayed half board and enjoyed a good selection of well cooked and well presented food. As we were a large group we had dinner at attractively set out round tables in a large, bright function room.

User 29/09/2016

Staff in general were very nice. Location good. Food was disgusting - Room was clean but very dated like an old butlins Chalet! Had the most uncomfortable night after a 8 hour drive as bed uncomfortable, Thin walls so I could hear the person next door in the bathroom. Creaky floor boards in the corridor and as I was close to the lift all I could hear was the floor boards creaking when people were walking past. Dinner was so bad I gave breakfast a miss and was told by other guest that it was not great. This place needs to shut down and have a total refurbishment. Was booked in for 2 nights but could not bear the thought of another night .

User 25/09/2016

We stayed here for one night and I am glad it wasn't longer. The hotel is in a great location right next to the train station and that is why we chose it. The staff were in general very friendly but the hotel itself needs a lot of work. The rooms are clean but looking tired and shabby and the bed was really hard with two singles put together instead of a double so you would fall down the gap. The walls were paper thin so you could hear everyone passing by or walking on the floor above. The toilet was noisy with the sound of water running long after you had used it. The shower screen design made it impossible to switch on the shower unless you were in the bath so you had to adjust the temperature through the stream of water which was a battle to get right. The leisure facilities are also in desperate need of a refit. The changing rooms have old rusty lockers with badly fitting locks. The swimming pool and jacuzzi were clean however the timer for the jacuzzi was far too short. The steam room was horrible with rusty walls and a broken air vent. The breakfast was ok, nothing special. For the price we were charged for a night, it was not good value for money.

The room was clean, good breakfast, nice reception. The bath taps were difficult to operate- not a good bath experience. Service in breakfast a bit slow. Good parking place. Location not far from center by foot. All in all-good value deal

Dear Ruraljudge, Many thanks for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel. You may wish to return in a few weeks and experience the "Enchanted Forrest" in Pitlochry - this a autumnal light and forest display which is definitely worth the visit. Hope to see you there. Best regards

Hotel old but clean. Very small town so had a lovely walk after dinner along the river. We had Executive room with King bed. Bed a bit hard. Bath/shower combo. Kettle in room can ask for fresh milk. Staff nice. If you are heading north and haven't seen "The Kelpies" in Falkirk don't miss them before you leave Perth.

Quick check in, decor needs updating but somehow fits in. Doesn't feel out of place, just comfortable. Pool lovely. Hot tub nice, sauna excellent. Steam room, as expected, steamy. But hot hot hot! 2 minutes is all I could manage. Enjoyed it all though. Great place to stay close to town with the spa. Good value too.

Very welcome on arrival and room was available on arrival. Room was a bit dated but had everything we needed and was comfortable and clean. The doors are sprung loaded possibly for health and safety reason (fire) so when they close they slam shut, not very nice when your neighbour comes in at 12:30am and for some reason closes the door a few times. if staying again and more than likely will as son is in Dundee I would request a room away from the front of the building overlooking the road, as the buses seem to start around 5, noisy if you are looking for quietness!!

"Gloomy and run down"

User 02/09/2016

Apart from the friendliness of the staff and the carpark I can find nothing positive to say about this hotel. The Best Western brand really let me down on. This occasion. It was gloomy with everything in shades of brown. Even the chipped bath was mud-coloured, The bedroom furniture was scratched and ill-matched, the window frames were rotted and had no safety catches, the beds were not comfortable, the toilet took many minutes to fill after each flush. The shower was weak and hard to switch off. No toilet roll holder but toilet rolls piled up in shower tray. The room was dingy but we'd had a long drive so reluctantly had to stay for the one night we had booked. And to think....we could have stayed at the Travelodge!!!!

"Hot tub time rationed"

User 28/08/2016

We stayed here for the central location and leisure facilities. The pool was fine but we were disappointed that the hot tub was on a five minute timer. When the red light appeared we were told by the attendant to leave the hot tub and wait until the green light to go back in. The green light came on again after 5 minutes. When I asked why the timer was on for such a short time the attendant did not know why. In other hotels the timer usually stays on for 20 minutes. The bedroom was clean and adequate but very dated with a green bathroom suite and a mixer shower that was either too hot or too cold. The breakfast was good however with a good choice and cooks to order. Staff were also friendly.

We've used the Queens Hotel a few times in the past and they never let us down. This time at the lady minute we decided to bring our daughter and granddaughter who is 4 months old, and the staff were great at helping arrange this. They put them on the floor below us, arranged a cot and everything. Waiting staff at meal times are warm, friendly. Just what you want from them. Great food, good selection and always plenty. Take full use of the gym and spa as well if you're staying. We always do. Definitely will be back.

This hotel is situated very close to the city centre. There is a bus station near by. Hotel has it's own car park. Rooms very large and clean. Drinks prices were reasonable and staff were very friendly. The only downside was the evening meal menu I didnt feel it offered a good choice, where the breakfast meal was excellent and was a mixture of buffet and table service. Lovely swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room all included in the price. Towels were supplied. Plenty at eating places close to the hotel.

We we're originally booked for another Perth hotel however they contacted us to say they were double booked but reserved a room in the Queens hotel as an alternative. Didn't have much option as it was races day at Perth. The hotel isn't the best! In need of major overhaul/ upgrading. Our room was very small, basic and dated. Noise insulation was poor - woken several times by doors slamming and amorous goings on next door. If I thought my alcohol level was below the limit we would have happily driven home at 2 am!! Avocado toilet suit, noise from the street, small uncomfortable double bed, tight on space and the only thing more tired than the general decor were us in the morning!! Safe to say it's not on our revisit list. Room was clean at least. Best western - your hotel needs some major investment !!

I was alone to book drinks up to the last nine when the barman said you have to pay of them now little confused by that but we will be back staying at the Queens in Perth thank you the Queens leisure facilities very good

Hi my family and I recently stayed at the Queen's hotel in Perth and reading the bad reviews we were a bit apprehensive however I must say, make your own opinion! After staying a week here we had an amazing time, not only was the hotel cleaned daily with fresh towels, bedding etc we had the greeting of the wonderful, welcoming staff and also the amazing waiters and waitresses who were hard working members of staff and made our breakfast and evening meals much more relaxing! They made us feel at ease and offered advice where necessary! Both the receptionists/ staff working in the hotel from the kitchen, house keeping and bar staff were helpful, welcoming and polite, which made our stay more relaxing! The rooms were spacious and big and had facilities at hand! We were throughly impressed and will definitely be returning! Thank you to each and everyone at Queen's hotel!

aaron s, Aviemore, United Kingdom 13/08/2016

Reception lovely, so too the restaurant, however when I ventured up to the room it was a different story. The room was awful, hot and stuffy, getting there was a hassle too with the wee staircases. I suggest staying clear of this hotel and going for one of the more modern budget ones (There a few in Perth), that way you get a purpose built spacious room, I totally dislike hotels having lovely receptions whilst getting to the rooms is a labyrinth, and the rooms are disfunctional and dated.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear aaron s, Thank you for your review regarding your stay at the hotel. It seems that we scored well in some areas but not in others. You will note from our other reviews that we other rooms that may have given you a different opinion of the rooms within the hotel. It would be fair to say that a building that dates back over 100 years will have a few peculiarities, as opposed to other "budget" type hotels, which arrive in modular fashion and do not have the qualities that family run hotels offer - like good restaurants and staff that deliver good customer service. Best Western hotels are a collection of individually owned and operated hotels throughout the world, as opposed to budget hotels which are owned by companies who are only interested in bottom line performance. I sincerely hope that you try other Best Western branded hotels as a viable alternative to these budget type hotels. Best regards

Bipasa D, York, United Kingdom 08/08/2016

Stayed there for one night, the hotel is in dire need for some updating! The room is not attractive! Bathroom ok but the shower is hard to turn off!! Breakfast is most mediocre and lacks choices especially with fruits and vegeterain options. Not enough parking space at all and you could be in real difficulty trying to park your car if you do not arrive early. The (only) good side of the hotel is the pool area which is very nice. Quite disappointed at the standard of this Bestwestern hotel. Highly overpriced for what you get. Won't stay there again!

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Bipasa D, Thank you for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel. I am disappointed that we were unable to meet your expectations. Our breakfast offering includes fresh melon, assorted fruits of the forest, prunes, grapefruit segments and fresh fruit. We have vegetarian sausages on request and are able to serve an omelette of your choice when asked. We have in excess of 50 car parking spaces, which normally is adequate for the hotels needs. However I am glad you made use of the hotel pool and leisure facilities - we are the only hotel in Perth to boast such an asset. Best regards

Fiona M, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom 07/08/2016

We stayed at the hotel in April - had a good weekend and paid WHEN WE ARRIVED. Imagine my shock to find they had taken a payment from my debit card - quite how they managed that I am not sure - they said an operative who had, conveniently left the day before, got my bank details "from somewhere" and used them for a guest of the same name - now to my mind there is something extremely odd here and I do not think a mistake was made. At first they refused to accept that they had indeed taken the money - what a performance and very worrying. I would advise everyone staying at this hotel to check their bank statements for months afterwards as money could just float out of your account.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Fiona M, Thank you your review regarding your not so recent stay at the Queens Hotel in Perth - I have copied your initial review below for readers to see a balanced view of your experience with us. A fairly last minute decision to visit Perth saw us book at the Best Western Queen's Hotel and that proved an excellent choice. Our room was comfortable and the location of the hotel perfect - a short walk away from the city centre with its good variety of shops. The only tiny downside was that we were very near the lift and could hear the comings and goings. We would definitely go back to the Queen's as there is so much to see and do in Perth.. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186565-d195345-r367359833-BEST_WESTERN_Queens_Hotel-Perth_Perth_and_Kinross_Scotland.html# It would be fair to say that we have been corresponding with you for some time over the charging incident, of which we have repeatedly apologised. Please also note that at no stage did we not believe your allegation - once we had checked the procedures and discovered our error, we immediately refunded your card. Since then we have tried to appease you by inviting you back to the hotel on a preferential rate, of which you have chosen not to accept. I am truly sorry that we have not managed to reach a satisfactory conclusion to this matter - I am also sorry that you have chosen to cast doubt as to the integrity of my company and the people who are employed within it - which I wholly refute.

We booked last minute and got a lovely twin room 209.No great view but quiet and spacious.Spotlessly clean and plenty of lovely fluffy white towels and great shower.Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and breakfast was excellent.Short 5 min stroll to town centre and close to railway station added bonus of on site parking.All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful with the exception of one female in the breakfast room whose manner was brisk,intolerant and downright rude,but for this I would give 5 stars.However,would recommend to anyone looking for a good class hotel in Perth.

We checked in last minute as were considering camping but the weather was awful! It was for my birthday so can't comment on what we paid as I have no idea! But the staff were very friendly and checked us in and the room (triple) was really nice. It's all a bit dated, as most best westerns seem to be! We all slept really well. The down stairs seemed to have a lot of older people around! The location was excellent, very central.

Hotel is located next to railway station and approx. a 10 min walk into the town centre. Hotel is stuck in the 70s and is in dire need of some TLC. Hotel staff need some training in welcoming visitors and being helpful. The guy on reception looked bored and was not at all welcoming. Room was basic. Shampoo and soap was in a one bottle does all. Had to call reception as shower would not turn off. Person that came to see the shower said that they had had this before and customer had left it running. Why hadn't it been fixed if they had fault before. Bathroom was an avocado green, yak. Saving grace was bedding and towels were very clean so I figured for one nights stay it would be ok. Hotel could be a little gem.

Stayed night on business. Staff very friendly and helpful on reception. My room was above average size and spotlessly clean. I chose to eat in the bar as it was quiet. the food was delicious. I chose salmon which had a really tasty sauce and was fairly light leaving room for the creme brulee with home made shortbread, melt in your mouth! The wifi in the room would not connect which was a bit annoying as this meant I needed to work in the reception area as I had reports to complete. The staff did try re booting etc but for some reason would not work. Breakfast was cooked to order and pleased to say was a traditional Scottish affair. Unfortunately I did not have time to sample the leisure facilities but would definitely stay here again if I am in the area. Parking was not obvious on arrival you have to make a very sharp turn into the car park before you reach the hotel.

We had a fantastic nights stay, enjoyed the swimming pool and Jacuzzi all afternoon prior to getting into our room, which was ready early for us, was clean and offered more than enough to expect or require in any hotel room. The staff were all fantastic, cleaners, bar, waiting and reception, all more than willing to offer assistance and a friendly face. Our meal in the restaurant in the evening was lovely and breakfast excellent. We shall continue to return to this hotel as facilities, getting full use of pool, gym etc inclusive in costs, just makes one night away seem so worthwhile and a real break from the rat race.

rpt1968, MIDLANDS,UK 11/07/2016

firstly brilliant location literally between the train station and bus station and a stones through from city centre. Downstairs neat with handy bar and decent dining area. Rooms classic BW incredibly noisy floors I guess due to the hotel age and generally quite a noisy hotel. Bad for me working nights! Spacious room with bath and good shower however baths surface rough in places. My toilet did not flush properly also. Breakfast was fine good selection of food. This hotel was a gym which the equipment is a bit rickety and some out of use but hey it's in with price. Also has a very nice small swimming pool, spa bath, steam room and sauna all excellent. So like this hotel chain to have highs and lows with performance again relying on old world charm to paper over a few cracks. Verdict - acceptable for a shorter stay......

I shall ensure we have fresh fruit on the breakfast buffet also. Best regards

"Seniors cycle"

Jim H, Falkirk, United Kingdom 23/06/2016

We had been cycling from John O Groats for the previous 2.5 days, for the last 45 minutes cycling into Perth it rained, when we arrived at the hotel, we were soaking wet and the staff were extremely helpful to get into our rooms and get a hot shower, and they gave us a secured space to keep our bikes overnight, once we had dried out we had bar food and it was delicious and well worth the cost.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Jim H, Thank you for your review regarding your stay at the hotel. I am glad you have given such positive feedback - this will be past onto the team. I hope you were not too saddle sore after your bike trip. We look forward to seeing in the future. Best regards

"Badly needs renovating"

Anondee2016, London, United Kingdom 23/06/2016

Location good, near station and restaurants and near town. Generally the staff were courteous but when checking in the Receptionist spoke so fast. I didn't rate the breakfast at all. Stayed in the Kings Manor (best western hotel) previous to this and the breakfast was better and hotel was in much better condition. The room we stayed in was awful. The bathroom was the old avocado coloured suit....so, so dated. The shower didn't work properly so I couldn't wash my hair, had trouble trying to turn it off, dripped for ages. Shower curtain had a couple of stains. Sink has no mixer tap so either boiling hot or freezing cold. No blind for the window in the bathroom that faced the car park. It's a distorted glass but people would still be able to see someone in the shower from the outside, not private enough. You can see that a blind used to be there but now the shower rail is connected to the wall just above the window leaving no space for the blind. The noise after flushing the toilet was ridiculous and there was a lot of noise near the lift. No safe in the room. Bed linen looked clean so that was a bonus. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Their other hotel in Edinburgh (Kings Manor) was much better for a 3 star.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Anondee2016, Thank you for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel. I am disappointed that the hotel bedroom did not meet your expectations, and I take your points on board and make enquiries as to why the shower curtain was stained - they are checked after each guest and laundered or renewed if necessary. I am surprised as to your comments regarding our breakfast offering - we do have a substantial cold offering and do prepare hot breakfasts to order whether it is Smoked Haddock or a regular bacon and egg etc. offering. The hotel you mention - Best Western KingsManor Hotel - I know very well and know the owner extremely well. Your comments are correct as to this quality product they offer. We hope that our forth coming refurbishment will at least meet their standard. I hope that you will continue to be a brand customer even if it is not out our hotel. Best regards

"Long weekend leisure break"

James M, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 22/06/2016

We travelled by bus to Perth and were relieved to find we didn't have to carry bags for any distance as the hotel is situated beside the bus station and nearby is the railway station. We were met by a friendly receptionist and were able to get into our room a bit earlier as we had arrived before 4.00pm. The room was on the 4th floor very spacious clean and ironing board and iron a bonus. The beds comfortable and we appreciate having 2 pillows. Breakfast was very good plenty of Choice and nice to get table service. We made full use of the leisure facilities which was great very clean and relaxing friendly and pleasant staff thoroughly enjoyed it. The town centre and riverside walks are a 10 minute walk from the hotel or you could hop on a bus to the centre. We spent a day at scone palace highly recommend. We had a problem on our last night when we couldn't get back into our room due to a faulty lock and had to wait for someone to come out to gain access. However the staff were extremely helpful offering us another room to wait in if we wanted we chose to sit in the bar area and were served cups of coffee and kept updated on the situation excellent customer service. We stayed in another room for the night which was just as comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

Dear James M, Many thanks for your review regarding your recent stay.

fergie26, wishaw 21/06/2016

We booked 2 nights bed & breakfast in the Queens hotel and weren't too disappointed. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and although the rooms and the hotel in general look quite dated , everything is clean and tidy. Breakfast was good if fairly limited and the bar was ok. The swimming pool and gym were very good and again kept very clean. We found the hotel easy to locate as the directions were easy to follow and its only 5-10 minute walk to the shops etc.

"Special Offer"

David G, Kilbirnie, United Kingdom 19/06/2016

As we were visiting Perth on Saturday we took advantage of the hotel's "Special Offer" of a Dinner, Bed & Breakfast deal. The hotel is centrally situated with a 5 minute walk to the city centre offering a full range of shops, bars and restaurants. The hotel itself is clean with very friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Dinner in Scott's restaurant and breakfast in the breakfast room were both very good. We would certainly stay here again when visiting Perth. The hotel offers leisure facilities which we did not use.

Dear David G, Thank you for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel. I am glad you took advantage of our late break deal - they are available most of the time depending on availability, and remember it's always best to book direct of the best deal/price.

"Badly needs refurbished"

CherryBlossomTree, Aberdeen, United Kingdom 09/06/2016

I had a 2 day conference here. Having viewed the hotel website and read the reviews on here, I elected not to stay overnight at this hotel. The hotel was very dated and worn and it was not a pleasant environment to be in. The lunch provided was adequate but not great quality. I would not pay to eat here. Having said that, the public areas that I visited were very clean and the staff were pleasant and friendly. They were very helpful and I got the impression that nothing was too much trouble. They also seemed hard working and efficient. The hotel is very close to the train station and there is a free car park which are definite plus points. It is a bit of a shame that nothing has been done to upgrade and modernise this hotel.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear CherryBlossomTree, Many thanks for your review regarding the 2 day conference that you attended. I personally remember looking after your meeting over the past 2 days, and would have welcomed a conversation with you about your views on my hotel. I am really excited at the prospect of us beginning our refurbishment in the autumn. Perhaps I am biased, but I do believe that the hotel is a pleasant place to be - my Team do their utmost to make our guests welcome and feel at home - this view is born out of many comments to that effect stated in previous reviews - unlike the modern type lodges who give minimal customer service and interaction. We look forward to welcoming you back - perhaps you may even stay! Best regards

shearwater58, Forres, United Kingdom 01/06/2016

Yes this hotel has seen better days but it is warm, dry and very clean. I think we paid £50 for a twin room and that was fine. Bed was comfortable and it was nice to have two pillows. No air conditioning but the window was open - and I much prefer fresh air. There was an event going on in the hotel so it was quite noisy until about midnight but after that was quiet. Walls are very thin -it was quite disconcerting to be in the shower and be able to hear the guy next door cleaning his teeth and gargling. Staff were helpful and friendly. Carpark was full (because of the event?) and there is limited local street parking but is very close to both bus and train stations. It wasn't the best hotel we've ever stayed in but it probably was one of the cleanest! Don't pay a fortune but ok if you can get a deal.

"Good Hotel"

User 23/05/2016

Spent an overnight stay b& b with friends for a wee break away and was very happy with this Hotels location to the centre which has many lovely eateries in the old part of the town where you can sit outside weather permitting. We had a room on the 2nd floor of the Queens Hotel overlooking the main road at one side and to the car park at the other window. Was very pleased with the room we were given which was very spacious with two lovely club chairs with a table at the window overlooking the car park, which incidentally you could open fully which was lovely as we had a beautiful day when we were there. Lovely comfy big bed, nice bathroom, hairdryer etc, no complaints. Staff on Reception at check in were lovely, Polish girl (I think) was particularly nice and friendly and was also on the breakfast staffing, very polite and efficient. Made use of the pool, steam room and sauna which was very good all round except the jacuzzi was being cleaned at 10.30am on a Saturday morning! might think about changing that, those who are in charge! The only gripe I would have is that the breakfast wasn't the best, the mixed strawberries/raspberries/blueberries that I had for starters were of the frozen variety, and still frozen when I tried to eat them and they did not taste good at all. The fruit juice was poor tasting and the fried breakfast, well the egg was considerably undercooked, the sausage was not good but the rest was ok and plenty of toast/jam. Overall, nice Hotel, good location and for £70 for the two of us, was I think not bad. Would I come back to this Hotel again? Yes, could make some improvements here and there but overall not bad.

Dear Margaret G, Thank you for your review regarding your recent stay at the hotel.

If I had paid for this myself I would have been let down. The room was adequate nothing special, my one complaint was the the walls are very thin and you can hear what's going on in the rooms side by side. The TV in the next room kept me awake Until around 3am I could hear the person snoring in the other. Left for a long work day feeling unrested and grumpy??

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Marie C, Thank you for your review regarding your recent stay. I am sorry that your sleep was not restful - we all need a good nights sleep to be able to function the next day.

"Fading glory for a hotel"

D. C, Orange, California 20/05/2016

We booked this hotel as part of a road trip through the UK. We found that the car park across the street from the hotel was close but a bit difficult to identify. The location directly adjacent to the bus terminal makes it a great choice for those using mass transit. We found the hotel having very nice staff but very dated with poor lighting and worn carpeting. The room was clean but the beds marginally comfortable. The bath was old and although clean we were unable to turn off the water in the tub and had to have a staff member come up and work with the spigot. It appeared to us that this was not the first time this had happened to her. The bright spot in the visit was when we went to the dining room for dinner. I really was not expecting much but was thrilled to find a really good meal served very nicely. The price of the hotel was good but the interiors show it.

I stayed at this hotel for a work event. Two nights in a single room, which was very clean but dated. The staff were so very nice and helpful. The breakfast was also really good. You can have continental or cooked food. Was a very pleasant stay. Hotel does need some refurbishment. Something that was a bit of a peeve, but not the hotels fault is the bus terminus being next door, so from early am until late evening there is a steady stream of bus traffic.

My friends & I stayed here for one night whilst on a biking weekend & to be honest for the price we paid I wasn't expecting a lot. Sure it's a little dated but I found the hotel to be a very pleasant & cosy place to be. The staff were all pleasant & helpful & the rooms were all spotlessly clean. A welcome bonus was the pool & spa within the hotel which we all really enjoyed! There was quite a good selection at breakfast with cooked items done to order! (The scrambled eggs were some of the best I've ever had!) I can recommend this one!??

"Not great..."

Sean S, Whithorn, United Kingdom 08/05/2016

The hotel is exceptionally dated and in dire need of modernisation. The room I was allocated was more like a prison cell than somewhere to relax for an evening with the bathroom whilst probably being clean, looked dirty due to the age. The food was average and unsatisfying. Also, the wifi coverage was poor as in my room it was out of range...

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Sean S WOW - prison cell, that's a new one! And a comment I, and I'm sure others, would probably disagree with. Personally I am not familiar with the accommodation on offer when staying at Her Majesty's pleasure - thankfully, but pretty sure they don't have that much in the way of soft furnishings. Unfortunately you don't mention what room you were in with regards to the wifi. We had new boxes installed just last week in increase the coverage, but I'm sure this is something you would have mentioned to reception so I will check with them so that that area can be re-checked for signal. Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards Mike Sheffield - Director

"Beautiful Exterior, shameful staff member and dated room"

User 04/05/2016

We stayed on 28/04. The hotel is very pretty externally but our small double bedroom was incredibly dated, had a small double bed and with curtains not fit for purpose .over and above this the floorboards outside our room were loose with the resultant squeaky noise from footfall traffic. Additionally, If you are reluctant to be verbally abused by any member of staff which abuse isn't denied by the staff member and where owner's view is that verbal abuse is explained by a busy role, then stay clear. Perth is a beautiful town.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Icljc3, Thank you for posting your review concerning your recent stay at the Queens Hotel in Perth - as you said you would. I would like to correct you on a number of matters. Firstly, you stayed on the 29th April not the 28th - an easy mistake to make. Your comments regarding your bedroom are noted and well received as are all comments that our customers chose to write on Tripadvisor. How ever I do feel obliged to reply to your rather cryptic statement regarding verbal abuse. Without going into great detail, this concerns your arrival back at the hotel late at night - not a problem. The request for a late night drink by your partner - not a problem. He wished to charge the beverages to his room - again not a problem. All the Night Porter had to do was to verify that you were able to charge back to your room bill. He did this and your partner seemed Ok with this procedure. However, your reaction was not so understanding, resorting to you having a word in the ear of the Night Porter - literally - explaining that you be reporting him to his Manager in the morning. I am confident that his reaction was one of surprise - I would also be surprised to be threatened like that for just following company procedures. Ultimately your threat was not carried out the following morning for whatever reason, however an attempt to provide written complaint to Best Western Hotels Head Office in York, resulted in my involvement. A difficult task, trying to take a middle, understanding position from a customer who was under the influence of alcohol, and I am sure not acting in their normal fashion, to explain to them that our staff have procedures to follow. Of course an apology was offered by myself, but importantly no compensation, as I deemed that this instance did not warrant any. In fact there should have been an apology made to the Night Porter, for being threatened for just following procedure, resulting in you following through on your intension to "avail yourself of a medium to warn other customers". I am sure that once this review is read, along with the many others posted, people will see that abusive staff is something we are not know for. However, what we are know for is exercising our right of reply on TripAdvisor, and setting the record straight. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me the chance to make the facts known as they are. Best regards

"Meal at restaurant using a voucher with no small print that it cannot be used again"

sritchie52, perth 25/04/2016

We recently received on attending a boxing dinner night at the Queens hotel a £50 food voucher for the Scott's restaurant to be used b4 June 2016. However attending recently with my elderly mother, I was not informed by the receptionist or the restaurant staff that the voucher had to be fully used up on our first attendance. We only used half of the voucher and was then informed that the remainder of approx£25 was null in void, thus making a complaint I was informed I would receive a phone call the following morning with the outcome decision. I received a call where the caller informed me she had spoken with her accounts department and this was the correct procedure. I feel this is unfair decision and it should have been stated at the time of attending the restaurant that the voucher would require to be fully used at the time of our meal. I am writing this to ensure others who receive voucher no the procedure before attending for a meal.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear sritchie52 I have spoken to the manager on duty at reception that night to ask about your above comments, she mentioned that you had asked for the difference back which obviously we wouldn't do with a voucher under any circumstances. When the voucher has been purchased and there is a monetary value attached to this then the remainder can be used at a later date. However on this occasion this was a voucher which we had donated to the boxing club to help with their fundraising, I assume this was won in a raffle as you don't mention it was something which you had bid on as an auction lot. On these occasions when we donate a voucher it is not refundable or transferable for future use if the full value is not redeemed at the time. In all my time this is the first time this has been an issue, in the past people have used all or almost all the value, especially when the value is £50.00, they normally use it when there is more than just 2 people have one course. I would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention, as I mentioned this was not an issue that anyone has raised previously but we will in future add a disclaimer to this effect when we donate prizes in the future. Unfortunately you haven't mentioned here if you enjoyed your meal and the service you received on the evening which I believe you did despite the issue you had with the voucher. Again I thank you for bringing this to my attention through Tripadvisor. Kind regards Mike Sheffield

FionaMacd, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom 25/04/2016

A fairly last minute decision to visit Perth saw us book at the Best Western Queen's Hotel and that proved an excellent choice. Our room was comfortable and the location of the hotel perfect - a short walk away from the city centre with its good variety of shops. The only tiny downside was that we were very near the lift and could hear the comings and goings. We would definitely go back to the Queen's as there is so much to see and do in Perth..

Dear FionaMacd, Many thanks for leaving a review regarding your recent stay at the Queens Hotel. A lot of customers like the fact that we are just a few minutes walk from the town centre, but not in the town centre itself.

"Central location"

AlistairBurrow, Glasgow, United Kingdom 23/04/2016

This hotel is centrally located just opposite the railway station and within walking distance of Perth City Centre. I thought it was excellent value for money. The parking is free and close to the hotel, and it has a leisure centre. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I had no complaints about my room on the fourth floor (there is a lift), which was clean and comfortable. The decor is perhaps a little dated and traditional, but I would not agree with the reviewer who described them as "ghastly". I had a very pleasant meal one evening - the salmon was off and I had scampi and chips. Breakfast was buffet style but cooked to order, and well done. Did not spend any time in the bar, but sampled the gym and pool. The spa pool was out of order and the changing facilities are a little compact but serviceable. Would definitely stay again if required to overnight in Perth.

ishyurqit2016, Inverness, United Kingdom 18/04/2016

Rooms are ghastly! Reception staff very nice the pool staff totally rude. Breakfast was bare able..never again !!! Time the place was taken in to the right century. Dark furniture threadbare carpets...creaky floors..toilets with wooden seats ..really???

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear ishyurqit2016, Having carried out an investigation into your comments it seems that on departure you have informed the receptionist of the abruptness of the Leisure attendant to your wife. Please be assured that it was not his intention to be abrupt with customers, and would offer his apologies at this time. He has been spoken to about this, and to work hard on his manner. I am concerned about your breakfast comments as this is an area that we really do well in. In our defence, we had 90 residents the night before, this causing it's own set of difficulties, but we staffed up for it have 2 chefs cooking fresh food for our customers as opposed to offering a "hot buffet", along with waiting staff to freshly prepare toast and hot beverages. Your points regarding your room I take on board. We would really like the chance of seeing you again in the future. Best regards

"Comfortable hotel in an excellent location"

matthewluck, Sheffield, United Kingdom 18/04/2016

The location of the hotel is great, within 100 metres of the railway station and around a five minute walk to the city centre. The staff at reception were friendly and welcoming during both check in and check out. My room was a single room and it was very clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable and I had a restful night's sleep. It was disappointing that the water from the shower was cold. The room had a decent sized TV. Wi-Fi was good throughout. There was a well stocked refreshments tray, with tea, coffee and Scottish shortbread. Had an nice meal, scampi and chips, and a good pint in Scott's bar. Would definitely recommend the cider cooked onion rings, very tasty. I did feel that the bar was lacking any kind of atmosphere, no music and BBC News (muted) on TV. I used the leisure facilities, the pool was great with the water at a nice temperature. There was also a steam room and sauna, unfortunately the spa pool was out of order. Overall, an enjoyable stay and I would definitely return to this hotel. Excellent value for money.

Located about 100 Mtrs from railway station , cross railway station car park to the left and you can see hotel across road on right. Perfect location for city centre 5 minute walk. Plenty bars and restaurants within a couple of minute walk . Hotel itself was very good for the money £65 for double room with breakfast , excellent value . Room decent size , kettle, tea ,coffee etc . Iron and ironing board , hairdryer .Wifi in room was decent as well . Pool area looked lovely although we didn't use it . Breakfast in morning was great plenty choice . Staff very nice especially the young guy on the check in desk . Would return .

We booked a twin room, as this Hotel was near to the area we were visiting. The Reception Team on arrival were very nice and inviting. We requested a late checkout at 12pm, this was not a problem at all. We stayed in room 416 front facing. The room was of your average Hotel room with two single beds with ensuite bath/shower. The room was clean with tea and coffee with shortbread. As we did not return to the hotel until the early hours of the morning, we skipped breakfast. The Hotel also had a lovely swimming pool .

oversixtiesScotland, scotland 05/04/2016

booked a executive super king double. very dissapointed. we would hate to see what the basic room is like. this was a treat given to us by our family for a leisure/anniversary weekend. leisure centre is ok. breakfast is ok but was cold on monday and sent it back. but was replaced.didn't eat in hotel for lunch or dinner as we feel we had been ripped off enough. if you book room only and want breakfast go to cafe at bus station 50yards from hotel its cooked while you wait.also try hong kong chinese resturant 500yds from hotel for evening meal. we ate there for 3 nights. next time we are in perth we will stay travel inn or travel lodge. put queens at bottom of list

Eileen M, Phuket, Thailand 30/03/2016

Staff were all very helpful and friendly and the hotel was clean. Our room however was very dated and in need of decoration. Bathroom was nice but water pressure wasn't good and never hot enough. Sound proofing was bad as we could hear conversations next door and people going to the loo during the night. Breakfast on the Sunday wasn't great but much better on the Monday. We have stayed in Best Western Hotels before but this is one we will not be returning to.

Stuart P, Glasgow, United Kingdom 30/03/2016

Spent Friday and Saturday night in the Queens hotel at Easter and enjoyed the experience. We had up graded to a superior room which was very spacious. Very clean and the facilities were very good. Nice touch was the home made short bread in the room. The shower was very good and plenty of hot water. breakfast in the morning was good, freshly made and we got what we ordered. Waiting staff very friendly, helpful and we were served promptly. In fact all the staff were very friendly and helpful which added to our pleasant experience. The leisure facilities enhance our stay and were very clean. It was nice to relax in the spa. Overall we had an enjoyable relaxing stay.

Katy W, Gateshead, United Kingdom 30/03/2016

My husband and I stayed here for Valentine's Day last year on a staff discount (I used to work in a Best Western hotel). I have always loved hotels but ever since I have worked in customer service I pay extra attention to it. The staff were really friendly; one in particular who was serving in the restaurant that evening. Food was lovely, if slightly pricey. The location was fantastic; right by the train station, and the biggest pull was the fact it had a swimming pool which was lovely! The staff went the extra mile and I definitely enjoyed my romantic holiday away. Will hopefully be back :)

Lauraxlb, Glasgow 28/03/2016

Went to this hotel and walked in the reception was nice, went to the room it was nice to stay for a night but the toilet paper in the bathroom was behind you so it was a nightmare, the shower was terrible, hardly anything coming out it! Went for dinner which was nice! In the morning for breakfast was a joke I mean the cooked breakfast was awful wasn't that warm and only one of everything! But apart from that staff was lovely!

User 27/03/2016

Just home from a great 2 night stay at Queens Hotel. Reading previous reviews I agree bathrooms need updating but would rather have a bathroom that is clean but needs updating like this hotel than a dirty modern bathroom. Staff are amazing throughout the Hotel and can't do enough for you. James in the Restaurant looked after everyone and was most helpful regarding the new menu. We will definitely be returning to this hotel.

Do not book a standard twin bedded room. Small, and dark, bathroom badly needs upgraded, shower dreadful. Breakfast okay. The hotel does have very pleasant and helpful staff. We do book Best Western Hotels when on a break, but unfortunately this one does not meet the usual standard.

This is a perfectly acceptable hotel to stay in whether for business or leisure and is close to both the railway station and town centre. While the hotel could never be called luxurious, it was clean with good facilities. Breakfast was fresh with prompt service but the real stand out was the friendliness of the staff who couldn't do enough to please.

We visited the above hotel last weekend, first thing I need to say is the staff were a total credit to the hotel, especially the receptionist who couldn't do enough. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, only issues were rooms were very small and you could hear everything due to the thin wall's. The other thing required is a new decorating job as the hotel looks very tired. Overall it's pleasant place due mainly to the staff.

Stayed for one night, Parking was very limited and finally got a space after about 10 minutes. Arrived at reception and nobody there, but they came eventually even though he still did not put down his mobile so the lady took over. First impression through the floor, the room was a good size and clean. Dinner breadcrumb fried Brie which was still solid in the middle, but I was hungry, pasta with mushroom and ham was very tasty. Used the gym and pool, perfect to relax in and good level of cleanliness here. Breakfast was buffet European and cooked English which delivered promptly. The bar was busy and a good atmosphere. Would I stay again yes, butnot room 414 as I could here water running constantly not raining

malts4, Edinburgh, United Kingdom 07/03/2016

On arrival was asked to wait at reception as receptionist took coffee orders for guest who had already checked in. Once checked in I went to my room in which the décor was very tired to say the least. Also no towels in room. In my opinion I would have been better staying in a Travelodge or premier inn - at least you know what to expect.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear malts4, Please accept my apologies for the mistake of no towels in your room. I assume fresh ones were you delivered to you as soon as we were made aware. It's a shame that you found the hotel lacking in other areas and what we do better that the lodge type offering is adding that human touch like getting customers coffee when they request. I sincerely hope you visit again in the future. Best regards

While in Perth at another event I popped in to the Queens hotel for a drink with friends and I am sad to say I have never had such bad service in a bar anywhere in the world. At approximately 9.30pm one member of staff totally ignored customers while she struggled to add up the days takings , why this was being done so early in the night I don't know. Eventually another staff member started serving customers but omg slow so slow it's was ridiculous. 1 drink was enough and we won't be back .

We have just returned from another stay at this lovely hotel and we had a fabulous time . There is only one word to describe the Valentines Dinner we experienced-magnificent . I would like to commend Kamil [ Polish chef ] and Blue [ Italian chef ] for their truly outstanding talents and for giving us a meal we will never forget , served to us by Kat and Rebecca , who are both charming and professional restaurant staff . I would also like to commend Nikki and Danielle at reception who are also lovely and most helpful . Paul , the maintenance man , is a star and Slaw , the kitchen porter is very pleasant . I can honestly say this was our best visit yet and the rooms were lovely as usual , with tea/coffee making facilities and top drawer toiletries in situ . My husband and young son were regular visitors to the swimming pool and I would highly recommend a visit to this jewel of a hotel , especially good for families . A huge thank you to all the staff of a first class establishment .

User 09/02/2016

Having stayed in other best western hotels we thought this would be the ideal choice for our stay in Perth. Hotel looks good on the outside and has a handy carpark across the road . The reception staff were nice . Room was ok needs a paint bath and shower tired looking . Beds mattress was rock hard expect a sore back in the morning. Breakfast the next morning was a big big let down to the point we waited 50 minutes on our breakfast to appear . When we asked the very young waiter who muttered something walked off and never returned I finally got someone to give me a excuse of the kitchen ran out of food . Now surely a hotel of this size should have enough stock to support its guests . People were becoming impatient and the staff all seemed to go into hiding. There was no staff members or manager coming and giving an explanation of how we were all sat for 50 mins without food which we had paid for . When the breakfast finally arrived our toast was rock hard we asked for more which never arrived . The portions were child sized and would not feed a hamster . On checking we told our complaint to the reception who said ok we will take a note and someone will call you . Still waiting on the phone call . Will not be using best western again

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Ryan S Firstly my apologies with regards to breakfast but thank you for bringing this to my attention. It is certainly something I will be investigating with my management and kitchen team.

Although the hotel looks a little tired, the rooms were clean and the breakfast delicious. The main reception and dining room staff were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel is well situated, just 5 minutes walk from the centre. The leisure centre is well equipped. The room was lovely and warm. My only negative comment would be the guy on the leisure centre reception desk who was quite unfriendly and not very helpful considering I hadn't used the facilities previously. He needs some PR training and perhaps a spell in charm school!

Jan T, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom 09/02/2016

We stayed for 2 nights as we had a function to go to in Perth. We had an executive room which was a good size with a large comfortable bed. The decor in the hotel was very dated and in need of considerable reburbishment. Our room had chipped paint and scuffed walls, there was a mark on the carpet that looked as though it had been there a while. The bathroom had been retiled at some stage by putting the new tiles over the old ones which made them overlap the skirting board. The hotel was very busy on the Saturday night and the demand on the water made having a shower rather precarious as the flow came and went making the water temperature fluctuate hugely. The television was placed on the wall at a very odd angle which meant you could only really watch it properly from one place in the room. All that having been said the staff were great, warm and welcoming and eager to please. There was enough of a choice for breakfast and the cooked breakfast was very good. We ate in on the second evening and although there was not a large choice on the menu we had no problems in making a choice and enjoyed what we had. We did not have time to use the leisure club so cannot comment on that.

Stopped here as I needed somewhere quiet to make a call and wasn't going to make it home in time. Faint smell of urine in the bathroom. Couldn't figure out the shower, I think it was broken, so ended up with a bath. Friendly staff both at front desk and in breakfast area. Breakfast unimaginative with no greens and no organic anything. Good location next to the train station. Morrisons is a 15 minute walk. Wifi works well. Fairly priced for the UK, with a comfortable bed.

Dear Arnold M, Thank you your recent review and the comments contained within. I actually thought our breakfast is better than most, with a selection of fresh melon and other fruits, natural yogurt, prunes and other fruits. Our cooked offering is highlighted by the latest super food black pudding. I am sure that had you requested a green salad of some description we could have done this for you. Your other points will be checked - it's great when our customers give us their feedback, but I wonder if you had made us aware at the time of your visit. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards

WearetheSeatons, Falkirk, United Kingdom 30/01/2016

Stayed here one night with family. Warm welcome when we arrived at reception, staff were kind enough to give us an early check in which was much appreciated. We set up for afternoon tea in a little nook just off reception, got a wonderful selection of sandwiches plus scones with jam and cream and some cake. The server was happy to provide exta scones at no additional cost. Dinner was lovely, we ate in the bar so it was basic bar food but cooked fresh and generous portions. The spa area was great, nice ambiance very quiet and fully functional pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room plus a gym (which we didn't use) The rooms were basic but clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast had a continental buffet plus made to order cooked breakfast served to your table which was a nice touch. We had a great stay and the cost was very reasonable. Would visit again.

I had stayed at this hotel before for business, and always found it to be a pleasant place to be, mainly because of the lovely, friendly staff; so when we were looking for a place to go for our bi-monthly spa break, I thought this would be a good option. Some of the previous reviewers are correct, the hotel is in need of some TLC; however as far as I'm concerned, service, quality of food and staff attitude are far more important than a lick of paint. The leisure area was lovely, well maintained and although small, contained everything we needed (except a machine for spin drying the swimsuits, which would have been very welcome). The pool is lovely, clean and although there were a couple of 'serious swimmers' in, there was still plenty of room for those of us who just wanted to enjoy a leisurely dip. The jacuzzi had been broken right up to a couple of days before we arrived but we did know about it because we had been following the progress on Facebook and thankfully it was fixed before we got there. The sauna door was still broken but that didn't spoil our visit. The gentleman who works at the leisure area, although not a smiley character, was nevertheless very pleasant, friendly and helpful. We decided to have afternoon tea instead of lunch and, after an initial confusion where they tried to serve us 'high tea' instead, the afternoon tea was pleasant; strangely enough there were three of us but only two scones and two cakes served. Rather than fight over them we asked for another one of each, which they provided at no extra charge. We had dinner in the bar rather than the restaurant, and the food was lovely; not a huge selection but if you wanted more choice you could eat at the restaurant upstairs, which had an extensive menu. We were happy with our bar food, the quality was good and although it took a wee while to come out, it was worth the wait. The rooms were pretty basic but I had requested a shower rather than a bath and I was provided with that. Unfortunately the beds were very uncomfortable; none of the three of us got a good sleep, and we all had aching backs next morning; a pity because I would suggest that was the only major fault with this hotel. Breakfast was cooked fresh and served to our table, can't complain about that, it was delicious. The location of the hotel is ideal; next door to the bus station and across the road from the train station, just a short walk into the city centre. Also plenty of parking is available for guests, so an easy location to get to no matter how you travel. Check in time is late, 4pm, but we were advised that if the rooms were ready early we would be able to check in early, and true to their word we got our rooms on arrival at 2pm. The free wifi was very welcome, but a bit hit-and-miss; I got a poor signal in my room but my girls had a great signal in theirs. The main reason for my giving this hotel 4/5 instead of 3/5 is the staff; without exception they were helpful, friendly, efficient and pleasant. They are a credit to the management and to Best Western in general. Even when there was a small hiccup at checkout next morning, it was sorted out efficiently and quickly, with an apology and a smile. Would i recommend this hotel? Yes, definitely.. Would I return to the hotel myself? Unfortunately not; the beds were just too firm for me (for all of us) and I had a sore back for days after we left. If you like a firm bed, this won't be a problem.

Rooms are outdated but still ok. However, the staff were really friendly and only too happy to help. 1000% better than The Station Hotel across the road, avoid that hotel at all costs. The breakfast was absolutely superb and cooked to order.

Stayed here 1 night with my sister and young niece. Arrival - friendly polite staff. Check it was easy and only took minutes. Room - double and single bed, clean, good size, tea & coffee available, toilet was clean and lots of complementy shampoo etc Spa - everything was clean and in working order. Breakfast - again lovely friendly staff, nothing too much for them and cooked breakfast was lovely. Good hotel. Little dated but has traditional features. Well recommend and definitely stay here again.

"Dated, Dark and Dismal"

BENGHLAS, Scotland 17/01/2016

Website belies the truth. Stayed one night and that was more than enough. In fact we had considered leaving and going elsewhere but it was too late by the time of arrival. Reception was dingy, old fashioned and room was no better. The bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom cold and in a bad condition. The shower was not working properly. The leisure facilities were only partially available (the main reason for booking). The condition of this hotel put us off even attempting to use them. The staff were ok. COMPLAINING ABOUT THE STATE OF THIS HOTEL WILL APPARENTLY CHANGE NOTHING. AVOID.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
I can only apologise that the hotel did not meet your expectations. It is unfortunate that at the tome of your visit the jacuzzi is out of order as we are waiting on a pump being delivered which came in today and is just waiting on the engineers to fit. The sauna had to be put out of action as there was a problem with the door, the glass obviously has to be specially ordered and made to measure. As you can appreciate these are specialist items and the orders take time. It is unfortunate that both had had to be off at the same time. We have been updating on Facebook/Twitter regularly to advise of the progress of these issues. Kind regards Mike Sheffield Director

Pandy80, Fort William, United Kingdom 16/01/2016

This a three star hotel very close to bus and train station in Perth. Did not use pool etc. or restaurant for dinner. Breakfast was good although might have been hotter on the plate. Young staff very attentive and smartly turned out. Had some conversations with staff "out front" and they gave us some nice insights to the area. All in all a dated place but given the staff and location would not hesitate to stay again.

"Disappointed that Hotel advertises Spa Facilities and 2 out of 3 are OUT OF ORDER"

traceymac, Edinburgh 12/01/2016

Old style hotel which could do with an upgrade. Reception staff were lovely but that is as far as the compliments will go. Booked this on the basis that it offered "spa facilities", namely spa pool, sauna, steam room - 2 of which were Out of Order and according to staff, have been for quite a few weeks! Would be courteous if Best Western had highlighted this either on website or at time of booking. The gentleman at the pool reception was curt and grumpy - the changing rooms are beyond shabby! The linen in the rooms was clean but to walk into a bathroom with an "avocado" suite took me right back to the 70s!! You could hear guests walking about all night and sleep quality was rubbish. I did air my disappointment at reception but nothing was escalated, I then wrote to Best Western and the e-mail was forwarded to the hotel and I received an unacceptable response. I normally book Hilton Hotels but wanted Perth with spa facilities - I got Perth but not Spa Facilities - I will not book with Best Western again, not only because of the out of order sauna and spa pool but because of the way my complaint was handled. The manager questioned why I booked through Booking.com and not direct - I am not sure that is any of his business nor should make a difference!! Sorry Best Western but I'm going back to Hilton Hotels where they are up-to-date and have a far superior customer service.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear traceymac, Thank you for your review regarding your recent stay at the Best Western Queens Hotel. Perhaps now this will be the last time our paths will cross! As I expected you carried out your threat to post a bad review on tripadvisor - not an issue as I explained to you that I have the right of response in this global information arena. I am not going to belittle myself in getting into our conversation detail, but needless to say you write what you wish people to read as opposed to what actually took place. It would be fair to say your attitude having called my mobile phone could have been better. With over 40 years experience in this industry, I have dealt with a few complaints - it's part of our working day dealing with customers whose expectations have not been met - however the way customers display themselves verbally, in this case using words like "disgusted with your attitude", inferring that I lie about how long these facilities were out of order - will not be treated by me or most business owners with a kind ear. For the readers of this reply, the short story regarding our woes are - spa bath pump broke on Boxing Day, engineered called our at great expense on 27th, unable to effect a temporary repair, result spa bath out of order. Unfortunately he explained that all companies needed to effect a repair are now closed for the holidays! 2nd January sauna door broke through miss use, glazing company called on 4th, door ordered on the 5th with a 2 week delivery time minimum possible longer. If only the companies we deal with were like our industry and open 365/24/7! Messages regarding our unfortunate break downs were posted on our social media site, and to the most part all of our 350 strong membership and residents understand that these things can happen. During our conversation I apologised profusely for these services being out of order - fact. My written response to Best Western you described as disgusting - fact. Yet all this contained was apologies and an explanation. Yes I did ask why you would chose to book a branded hotel through a third party website, you said it was on price - not true I'm afraid, as booking direct will always get you the best deal. At this stage of our conversation, you seemed get even more irate stating that you were getting no where with me and slammed the phone down! Charming! The next day, a change of direction came from you by complaining to Best Western about me personally! It's a shame that does not work both ways - perhaps I should start a review site about unreasonable and rude customers who just what something for nothing - note to self - at no point during either your written comments or our conversation did you ask for compensation, all you did was lambast and criticise the hotel and me. But even after your attack on my professionalism and integrity I was still willing to offer you compensation by way of the Best Western Rewards. You since accepted this compensation - Best Western Hotels are the largest collection of hotels worldwide, which are independently owned and operated. Although may not have had a good experience in my hotel, it would not be fair that my brand colleagues should perhaps lose out on your custom in the future. Readers please note this was not mentioned in her review. Now to put things into prospective here. Yes it is an inconvenience to have a sauna and spa bath out of order and just have to make do with a steam room and swimming pool and gym - we are the only hotel in Perth to have these facilities - there are people all over the UK suffering from flooding for the last month or so - it kind of puts all this palaver into perspective. Best regards

I have just finished my stay at best western queens hotel Perth and am disappointed that after both looking online and talking to someone on the telephone that no one could tell me that the spa and sauna facilities were not working, we were told by the leisure staff that this has been the case for several months which is Appauling that it is not displayed on the website, the pool and spa facilities are the main reason for my stay here and we couldn't even enjoy them. Staff were friendly and could see why we were a bit annoyed decor is extremely dated witch is a huge let down as the hotel has a lot of great potential. Beds are comfy and it's literally 5 minutes from the centre.

MikeSheff, Owner at BEST WESTERN Queens Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Zoe R, Thank you for your recent review. I would point out that our FaceBook site has a notification stating that these facilities are temporarily out of order. The Spa Bath pump failure occurred on the 26th December the Sauna door broke on the 2nd January - who would believe our luck. I am happy to say that now that our suppliers are back from their seasonal breaks, we should have the facilities up and running in a matter of days. Thank you for your other comments regarding your stay - we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards Mike Sheffield

Clean rooms, friendly staff, bar prices high for poor level of choice and interrupted service , reception lounge bit unfriendly and decor dated. Having stayed here a number of years back, I would say this hotel has gone back a star since last visit, also taking account of the fact that I stay in Best Western Hotels on a regular basis here in the UK and on the continent, the Queens lagging quite a bit behind what I expect.

Stayed here last night. Family of 4, 2 young girls. Don't be put off with first impressions. Older hotel. Plenty free parking outside. Smooth check in. Room on level 4 was spotless. Large. Very cosy. Asked for travel cot and two lovely maids came up straight away to set it up. Very helpful and nice. Excellent pool, warm water and loads of kids toys, floats etc. pool quiet so great for kids. Gym was dead too but never used it. Equipment looked on the dated side but plenty to choose from. Went to bar for supper, food was lovely. Really good. Food was on the slow side but worth the wait. Great wifi in room, managed to watch the darts on Sky go without any hiccups. Beds really comfy we all slept great, no noise. Shower fine in morning. Nice breakfast, made to order. Good choice. Used pool again once we checked out. Handy location for people using bus or train. Not far to walk into town centre. Would definitely return again

This was a two night stay with friends to celebrate new year. We arrived on 31 and we had deluxe superior rooms this was on the 5th floor which is good as there is a lift. The room was fine with bathrobes and slippers and a good size bed. They had a gala dinner which was excellent and entertainment with dancing to all music there was a piper at midnight and this was enjoyed by everyone. The staff were very good smart and quick. On 1st there was a dinner also with entertainment, quiz, the same entertainer and karaoke. We had a good time. The breakfast was also good could not fault the service or food

My party stayed here from Christmas eve to xmas morning. I must admit we found it's location very convenient directly accross from the train station and beside bus station and a short walk to the centre. Im sad we never got to try the leisure facilities on offer such as the swimming pool which is unusual for a hotel in perth. Our room was clean with lovely shower and bathroom. The room was slightly dated but that is all cosmetic. The beds were comfortable and staff friendly and helpful. The following morning we had breakfast which was very nice and waiting staff excellent. We will stay here again.

scjs, Inverness, United Kingdom 01/12/2015

I stayed here at the weekend, its easy to access being close to the station, the rooms are spotlessly clean - housekeeping are by far the best performing department! The receptionist was busy chatting to her friend when we arrived, i seemed slightly inconvenient for her to check us in but thankfully she did. No instruction as to where the room was or the lift or where breakfast was served or if we could have dinner. So we found the bar and had dinner - again the staff were more interested in their social lives than the customers. We felt we were in the way. We did get a good night sleep, the beds were very comfortable and the shower was good in the morning. The Wifi connection wasnt good so we couldnt do any work before our meeting. We eventually found where breakfast was, again the staff were too interested in each others conversation to be interested in serving our breakfast. The choice of cold buffet was however good. At check out - you guessed it the receptionist was on the phone to her friend - luckily we had pre paid so didnt need to disturb her. All in all - beautifully clean, some maintenance required but a serious amount of staff training is needed.

Stayed 2 nights at this hotel. Staff were great and very friendly. The room we stayed in on the other hand, was a bit of a let down (rm 412) The window in the room did not close correctly and let in the cold air (was a very cold night) and noise from the road out the front. We were also woken at 5 in the morning by the sound of the guests in the room above, walking around, the floor boards were very noisy. Didn't say anything to hotel staff as didn't want to complain, but this sort of think should be noticed in the day to day running of the hotel

We stayed here for the last night of our 8 night vacation in Scotland. The lobby staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, allowing us to leave our luggage behind the desk because we arrived too early to check-in, and allowing me to use the front desk computer to print boarding passes for our flight. However the pluses end there. The room was extremely small, so small that we could not open our thee suitcases on the floor and there was no place to open them. The room was also extremely hot. We had to open the window and were then awoken before first light by TWO trash collection trucks. We ended up eating in the first floor lounge because everything in Scotland closes at 5:00 and there was no place to get snacks. We ended up paying over $18.00 for 2 mediocre cheeseburgers and we only drank Pepsi.

I found the hotel car park spaces very accessible and safe. I found the staff very kind, very friendly and always making sure you're enjoying your stay. I had a delux room - very clean, modern, tv etc. Bathroom needs an upgrade i guess but overall excellent room. Bed v comfy!

User 02/11/2015

Stayed for 1 night, and to be honest that was enough. Very dated hotel both in public rooms and bedroom. Was kept awake most of the night with banging doors and creaking floorboards whenever anyone moved around in surroudning rooms. Ate in the bar and again it was nothing more than average - The Rosemary Lamb burger that I had was on the dry side and could have done some additional mayo / dressing, which we were not offered and as the bar staff kept wandering off there was no one to ask. The pool, sauna and steam room were all good, and although we did not use it the gym looked pretty well stocked with equipment too. Like the other public rooms the changing rooms were tired. Breakfast was good with a good choice of both hot and cold items. All in all - average!

We had a room on floor 4 which was quite noisy with the traffic in the mornings. There was a Curling Reunion on so lots of people for breakfast, which was speedily and efficiently served. Our second stay was on the 5th floor which was very quiet, room 503 is the best in the hotel ! The staff were all very efficient and pleasant as usual.

For my hen weekend we booked into this hotel for 1 night stay - 6 twin rooms.

Clean rooms but décor dated, but for what we paid you couldn't complain! Breakfast dining room quite small but good breakfast on offer. After a lovely swim and sauna we had afternoon tea arranged also in the hotel. Lovely spread of sandwiches and cakes. Could have been more attentive with the tea/coffee - we had to keep asking for.

We booked this hotel as a last minute deal for two adults and two teenagers for the night. Included was use of leisure centre. We all had an enjoyable night in Perth and kids loved the use of pool. Although some decoration required in leisure centre, facilities good. We had a good night sleep and a great choice for breakfast and staff excellent and informative. We also had a parking space for our car, good size car park. We also used the bar on site to get some snacks for kids in the evening. Nice hotel with good atmosphere.

The rooms are spotless although bathrooms wee bit dated due to style of the hotel. But excellent leisure facilties and right next door to bus and train station. The centre is also 10 min stroll. I cant wait to go back :)

Went for a working lunch and experienced unfriendly and uninterested service in the bar area, sticky tables, dirty teacup and unsatisfactory food - avoid chicken salad wrap! I will not use this hotel for business meetings again.

Dear K20GBM I am very disappointed to hear this and will be speaking to the management regarding this. I would be grateful if you could contact me directly at the hotel to discuss this issue with you further. Kind regards Mike Sheffield - Director

Pleasantly surprised . Rooms very clean and bed comfortable. Staff very nice. Hotel very near bus station and train station. Short walk into town centre. Only problem was having to wait until 4pm to check in.

Dear Anne C Thank you for your review. We do try and allow guests into the rooms early but unfortunately if the hotel was particularly busy this is not always possible. We are more than happy to look after any luggage if guests want to go out for the day or they can use the Leisure Facilities too. Kind regards Mike Sheffield Director

On checking into the hotel we were made very welcome. Overall our room and bathroom was a good size, warm and comfortable. A complimentary bottle of red wine and glasses was waiting in our room, courtesy of the hotel. We had our wedding reception at the Queens Hotel, in 1970 followed by a celebratory lunch on our 40th Anniversary and as this was our 45th year together we went back to actually stay in the hotel.

Booked an overnight here with my fiancee, the room cost £90 for a standard en suite double, the hotel and the room was very dated and in my opinion, in need of some upgrading, breakfast was just passable, not the best for the price we paid Will I go back, no Would I recommend it, no

"Excellent overnight stay"

We had a 1 night stay and found that the staff we sooooooo helpful. Although rooms are not usually ready till 4 pm, they had asked at time of booking what our approx arrival time would be and a room was ready for or arrival. Reception staff were so welcoming, polite and helpful. The room decor was bit tired but everything was absolutely spotless and the bed was very comfortable. We had lunch in the bar and I can honestly say the burger was the best I've tasted, pure beef. Our breakfast was excellent and again the staff were lovely. I would recommend staying at this hotel and we will definitely be back.
