negative comments Very expensive bar snacks. Used to be able to order spirits off night porter, now restricted to a bottle of beer, not good enough for a city centre hotel

Enjoyed my stay thoroughly. (108781198)

positive comments Breakfast was especially good, even though it was self service. I found all the staff most helpful.
negative comments The lift on the 5th floor had a faulty call button and I had to walk to the 4th floor for the lift. Had i'd been disabled, which I am not, it would have caused quite a problem.

We would definately stay again (108513630)

positive comments It was a nicely decorated room which was pleasing to the eye and very relaxing. The staff were lovely and very accommodating.
negative comments Blocked sink in the bathroom. We were staying over for a party which was booked in the hotel but couldn't get an alcaholic drink on our room or even room service once the bar was closed which was quite disappointing

As it was a last minute booking, I'd have expected a better deal. We could have gone to a nmber of hotels for the sme price and got a bigger room. If you keep the price competitive,we'd use the Menzies Strathallan again, or give us a bigger room - we were tripping over our luggage! (108653064)

positive comments Lounge, foyer, ground floor all in excellent taste. Privacy excellent, staff response excellent. Loved the art-work in the foyer
negative comments Room too cramped, I would have expected to pay less for the size of room. The tv was off to the side of the bed, gave us a crick in our neck watching it.Only Irish papers at breakfast! Didn't know about choice of egg until I'd eaten the only watery tasteless scrambled egg on view, would have preferred fried egg, not boiled or scrambled - the rest of the menu was fine, thanks

Ruined by Restaurant Managers attitude, room VERY small and airless, too hot to sleep properly (108817633)

positive comments Waiting staff in restaurant EXCELLENT,food EXCELLENT quality and value. Reception staff very good and helpful
negative comments appalling manner from Reastaurant Manager, surly, rude and indifferent to us AND fellow staff. We were advised that we could have a continental breakfast in the restaurant, or tea and biscuits in the foyer by the receptionists, Restaurant manager overruled them, saying"far too busy, its a full buffet breakfast or nothing" Room Very small and airless, far too hot to sleep
