Booked a double and a single room over Easter weekend. Situated on a quiet road near heart of city. Plenty of street parking. Warm welcome to a very clean and "happy" hotel. Rooms are a good size with good beds. Bathrooms warm and shower had a good flow of hot water. Decor is modern homely and in good order. The... More

My wife and I stayed at the Shaftesbury for five nights in October. The large room was beautifully decorated with a huge bay window. The owners were very helpful and very professional in every way. The breakfasts, included in the room price, were excellent with a choice of continental style or full Scottish breakfast. We had guests over one night... More

I have stayed here several times in the last 3 years: it is my first choice for accommodation in Dundee. By "cross-over", I mean that the Shaftesbury has elements of both a full service hotel and a B&B. The rooms, the breakfast, the level of decor, the quality of fittings, the toiletries, the wifi, all rival the best 3* and... More

Welcome is very good and the breakfast is well up to a good standard. I would consider using it again and I am sorry, given the nice decor that I could not have stayed a few... More

We stayed one night and were warmly welcomed on arrival. Heather gave us a map and pointed out good places to eat within walking distance. The room was very nicely decorated and very clean.

Stayed one night, booked a superior room which on arrival did not look like the photo on the website. I'm not sure what made it superior - only the space in the room I imagine.
