Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were lovely and helpful. The room was even smaller than the pictures showed. It would have been better as a single, rather than a cramped double. The hotel we stayed in the night before, was less than £20 dearer and the bedroom was five times bigger and the bathroom six times bigger. Rather over priced for what they are offering.

Inget varmvatten i duschen första 10 minuterna, sedan så lite vattentryck att det inte gick att tvätta håret (korthårig). Helt kallt på toa/dusch. Spelningen fungerade dåligt, ingen ventilation i rummet. Gamla sängar, billigt sänglinne. På toaletten vid baren var det rent vidrigt, helt ostädat och stank urin. Säger.4-stjärnigt hotell- jag säger 2- stjärnigt vandrarhem til priset av 4- stjärnigt hotell.

We had a lovely stay at The Linton Hotel. The staff was great and super helpful and their full breakfast was so good! It is an early breakfast during the week, but it actually helped us organise better as we probably would overslept :P Rooms are clean and quiet. All I could hear was bird songs in the morning. We did book 2 different rooms during our stay as we went away for 2 days and back to East Linton. Some rooms can be small but I do think for the price and location, it was perfect for us. The beds were very comfortable. We slept very well. There are wonderful walks around East Linton and we look forward to come back and stay with them. Thank you.

The rooms were small but adequate. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the choice at breakfast was good. There was a small amount of parking space at the front of the hotel. It stands at walking distance from the railway station but noise is NOT intrusive. There were a lot of stairs to the top floor of the hotel. There was a poor flow of water in the shower and the water took a long time to get hot, perhaps because of being on the top floor. In general terms, it offered good value for money. Thank you.
