stayed here for a weekend and will definatly return, the service, the staff, the food and room were all exceptional everyone was just so friendly and accommodating really cannot wait to return

Requested Ground Floor room away back in May because of limited movement on arrival told room booked was on second floor with no lifts. On inspection state of room left a lot to be desired. Impossible for me to reach this room no other alternate room available.

Had to find alternate accommodation, nearest available MONTROSE..

Why when I booked so early was I not advised that room allocated would not be appropriate?

Looking for an economical hotel close to dundee city centre I stayed here recently - the rooms are very simply furnished but super clean. The real gem within this hotel is the restaurant - Aubergine. I dined alone so top marks to the staff for taking the time to find me a comfortable table where I could enjoy my meal without feeling awkward amidst the couples and groups around me. I ate lunch and dinner there and they were both delicious - and it was a pleasant surprise to find a dedicated vegetarian menu which offered much more than the ubiquitous penne pasta with tomato sauce with which "veggies" are often palmed off. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation - even if you don't stay over come for the food alone! Wonderful.

The Craigtay Hotel is situated over a mile from the City centre in Dundee.
It has a free car park, restaurant and bar. They advertise Wi-Fi in the hotel, but this barely works in the bar, and certainly does not work in room number 3 where I stayed. It is the staff that make this hotel, especially Pam and Christopher.
Pam runs the reception, bar and even serves you the food. Christopher is one of the chefs, and he is really very good and pleasant company.
I did find the meals expensive for what they are, my starter was £5-50 and my main course was £16. The problem with this is the portion size, you can see my photos I took of my meal, my starter had just two scallops, and the steak on the main course was supposed to be 8oz, as you can see, it is thinner than a burger, probably 4oz at best. I did notice some of the other guests driving out to find somewhere to eat in the evening, now I know why. My room was nice and although slightly dated, it was perfectly sufficient and overall I considered my stay there very cheap, excluding the food. I discovered after arriving there, that Dundee is undergoing a huge building project, many of the roads are clogged, and they expect this work to continue for 8 years. Directly outside the hotel is part of Dundee's red light district, and I did notice a few girls standing about, but no pimps visible and no police presence whatsoever which is worrrying. It is best to turn left as you leave the hotel, you will see less girls as you go in the direction of the city centre. It really is well worth walking about to see the old buildings before they are pulled down, the area is very derelict, but the old factory buildings houses are fascinating if you like old buildings.
