Reviews for Best Western Invercarse Hotel

Review 1:The night got a little noisy but was soon sorted

Review 2:Came from Australia for first ever visit .my mum booked this for us. Amazingly friendly will definitately try to stay again

Review 3:Requested an earlier check in but room wasn't ready. Receptionist said that there had been a xmas party the previous evening and check in was 2pm.and it was only 1.20pm.. we were asked to sit in restaurant area. No complimentary offering if a drink but room was ready about 15mins later.

Review 4:Great hotel, staff welcoming.

Review 5:My only recommendation is that the heating be turned down. The whole Hotel was very warm. Turning the radiator down was not helpful as would only turn to number 2 setting

Review 6:My overall stay was excellent value for money and the staff went out of their way to assist. Friendly efficient staff. Food fresh and well prepared, cleanliness standards maintained throughout my weeks stay

Review 7:lack of choice on dinner menu. Think this was due to having a 3 course set menu as option due to being the fun up to Christmas.

Review 8:Very comfortable bed and drinks good value for money and nor overpriced like some hotels

Review 9:There was a Christmas party night on and the noise of customers going out the front for a cigarette kept me awake. My room was almost right above the front door.

Review 10:Bar person was a good laugh. Room was very comfortable. Breakfast was filling and tasty.

Review 11:The room was slightly tired, the bathroom facilities were very good however bedroom itself could have been improved. Wardrobe was broken and carpet was worn. TV signal was dodgy at times

Review 12:Breakfast was excellent and friendly and helpful staff and location was very beautiful and central. Bathroom was clean and very modern. Bed was comfy

Review 13:Had requested a low door and near reception but didn't get either- it was busy with a function though and we were also put right next to the function doorway so it was rather noisy when everyone were going out and in to smoke and this went on till 1 am On the other hand , I'm not sure if hotel would know that we were not with the function

Review 14:Room lovely and comfortable, big bathroom and also the fact an iron and board were in room We had an evening meal which was lovely and breakfast in the morning was amazing ty

Review 15:Bedroom was cold and despite having system bled still clanked away all night making sleeping difficult Evening meal was good but service was very slow

Review 16:Good location and good price

Review 17:The staff were very friendly ans so helpful in giving us instructions for moving round the city and finding local attractions,liked the location as it was in a quiet area but handy for the city

Review 18:Couldn't sleep all night because of a constant really loud bumming sound. Reported to receptionist in morning and he said it was the fans from the kitchen and the night porter was supposed to turn off before leaving. Wouldn't stay in same room again.

Review 19:Nice location with lots of car parking. Staff were really friendly and the room was comfortable.

Review 20:It was a lovely hotel. Set in nice grounds with a lovely view. The hotel was quiet over night. The room was immaculate with good facilities. A bath and shower is always a good thing. We will stay there again. The food was delicious. Menu was extensive.

Review 21:The bed was very hard, and floorboards need to stop squeegeeing. We had a room with an adjoining door and we could hear conversation next door and above.

Review 22:Breakfast was great

Review 23:Didn't like the room, too small, the bed was old and thin and caused back ache . The shower was rusty and looked awful.

Review 24:We liked the greeting by the guy at reception and the breakfast was excellent . And excellent choice in a nice dining room

Review 25:Cleanliness wasn't very good our bedding was stained, ( two beds joined together could feel this even though there was a matress protecter) very dusty like it hadn't been cleaned for awhile especially the lamp shade, noise levels were very bad ( book you have in room which explains everything should state the procedure what to do to report it) by the way the man on reception spoke we should have known?? Breakfast was abit expensive for our liken £12.50 each for a cooked breakfast

Review 26:The room was a good size,

Review 27:In both Reception and the Dining Room the staff were very courteous and very keen to be accommodating in every way. I loved having a proper single room with just one bed. The room was warm and comfortable, had good space for one and the bathroom super.

Review 28:On a return trip the reception staff tried to accomodate me but unfortunatly the hotel was fully booked which shows the popularity- I should have booked earlier!

Review 29:The staff were very helpful, the location and quality food! It was nice to be greated by somebody who smiled and spoke clearly!

Review 30:There was a wedding reception on the night we stayed and there was a lot of noise outside our window. The guests in the room next door (205) were very loud until 3 am. Made for a bad nights sleep.

Review 31:The room was lovely and comfortable but slightly too warm and opening the window wasn't an option. The shower was spectacular. We ate in the dining room and the food was delicious.

Review 32:A bit noisy after midnight as staff emptied glass bottles into the bins near our window. Couldn't this wait till the morning?

Review 33:Nice room, comfy beds, good shower. Enjoyed breakfast, and with a pleasant view.

Review 34:Mostly confrontational staff(one exception), disorganised, unhelpful, downright rude to some customers in my hearing. Room factilities not working, noisy during night, not good food quality or portions, dirty restaurant floor at breakfast(food from night before under table still). All in all probably the worst hotel visited in living memory. A thoroughly bad experience. Never again.

Review 35:One member of staff(girl on bar) who appeared to not have been trained to be nasty to customers.

Review 36:I couldn't get logged on to the free wifi - system kept telling me to use a "proper email address" to register, even when I was already using one... In the end I gave up.

Review 37:Location is lovely. View from breakfast table spectacular over the river.

Review 38:the potato scones at breakfast, were dry and not looked how they should when fried......the reast was tasty

Review 39:this hotel was quiet and relaxing, friendly and helpful staff, good choice for the breakfast.

Review 40:Room over exit to ballroom. Kept awake by noisy guests drinking and smoking outdoors until early hours. Language was also offensive

Review 41:Positioning. Gardens. Good car park. Food

Review 42:Stairs between our room and reception /dining room (3x3steps). Bit difficult with walking frame. Maybe a ramp instead?

Review 43:Easy access rooms for disabled with direct door to the car park from the room. Helpful,friendly staff.. Option of smaller portions helpful for my 90 yr old mother

Review 44:Staff looked miserable. Also I ordered a newspaper which never arrived!

Review 45:The room cleanliness and the comfort of the beds. Also a very good choice at breakfast

Review 46:A perfectly decent place to stop for one night after delivering our son to his new flat close to the centre of Dundee. We arrived just 20 minutes before the hotel kitchen was due to close and the staff were extremely helpful in ordering an evening meal for us. We had a very pleasant stay which, apart from the fact that the hotel is a bit far away from the city centre, couldn't be faulted.

Review 47:Great facilities, breakfast alone was worth the price. I am native of Dundee who was returning for a short stay. The staff at the hotel made me feel proud of the welcome my home town is offering to visitors.

Review 48:we were put in a room with disabled bathroom facilities, the bathroom was horrible like a hospital, the fan didn't work, the water didn't drain away when we showered, the radiator made noises in the night, some electric sockets didn't work we were ignored when these were mentioned on our first day.

Review 49:the spacious room, the good food the friendly staff

Review 50:Decor in corridors dated, no aircon in rooms so had to ask for a fan as room was very warm

Review 51:Quiet location with wonderful views from restaurant. Room was a little small but adequate for a nights stay.

Review 52:the pillows could be a tad softer

Review 53:basicly everything the atmosphere was just perfect and even thogh there was a wedding on the saturday there was no noise the staff were outstanding

Review 54:Bed soft so didn't find it very comfortable and didn't have best nights sleep. Heating was on in the room and hallways, so uncomfortably stifling.

Review 55:Easily accessible location, sparkling clean room.

Review 56:The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel was comfortable and clean, the room was a very good size. Breakfast was very good, I would recommend this hotel.

Review 57:Both I and my colleague stayed here for a business trip and we both have to say this is the friendliest hotel we have ever stayed at. The staff especially the young gent on reception was so extremely helpful and made our stay that more enjoyable - the staff just couldn't do enough for you which was lovely! The rooms were excellent and the beds were so comfortable - a real treat would definitely recommend.

Review 58:Noisy room above service station and staff at reception were not helpful about my issue, I had very little sleep becaus of this

Review 59:Breakfast staff were efficient, food was good

Review 60:All pretty much perfect. We were very tired and are not light sleepers so slept soundly and comfortably. Other guests commented on noise emanating from wedding party (which is not unusual at such events!!) but it didn't bother us. If this is a worry ask to have a bedroom on the reception entrance side of the building. Room 207 where we were, was ground floor and near the ballroom wedding party entrance side. Perhaps that is why it was good last minute value when we booked via booking.com

Review 61:Ease of booking, location of this hotel, more than adequate secluded parking (had a dog in the car and was able to leave the vehicle in a shady area where the dog wasn't unduly disturbed. (didn't ask about pet in room so don't know if this hotel accepted dogs hence leaving her in the car overnight. No issues). Food at dinner was excellent value and well presented no delay even though a large wedding was also taking place there.Abience in restaurant was excellent as it was everywhere in the hotel. Bedroom (twin) - room 207 was more than adequate for the single night stay. Bathroom shower ensuite to a high standard, walk in large shower excellent. Breakfast buffet superb. Lovely grounds and old redwood trees at front of this former silk traders home from the Dundee heyday jute era.

Review 62:Check out mix up with Booking.com. Hotel seemed to think I should have paid more. But accepted that I didn't.

Review 63:Sitting outside with a cool beer. Great breakfast and evening meals

Review 64:I had booked a twin room but there was a mix up and we were allocated a room with a double bed albeit a large bed was not happy about it but was told this was the only room available but in the morningmanager was very good and apologised and offered a small goodwill gesture refund

Review 65:The breakfast was fabulous and you were allowed to take as long as you wanted over breakfast without staff mithering

Review 66:Very helpful staff and enjoyed both lunch and breakfast . Rooms are typical hotel rooms clean and comfortable . The views from dining room are lovely .

Review 67:didnt like the idea of having to pay £2.50 more if you didnt order breakfast - a bit of a liberty also fire alarm goes off if you use the hair drier

Review 68:convenience, pleasant

Review 69:Were given the room for physically challenged where the bath facilities were less than appealling. The magnetic stripe on hotel key had to be renewed before am check out. Signing for location is poor for commuters.

Review 70:Restaurant was convenient and food was decent. probably was top notch hotel in its early inception.

Review 71:We were in room 205 which was on the side of the deliveries woken up a 6:45 first morning 7am the next.

Review 72:Staff could not do enough for us. Food , Breakfast Good variety of cereals and friuts, cooked breakfast good quality and hot.

Review 73:Room was far too hot even with radiators down. Noisy in morning with upstairs walking along corridor creaking we were woken up far too early by this!

Review 74:Comfertable bed Good price Nice location

Review 75:We had not expected such a great room or hotel for the price we paid. It was excellent added to that the breakfast choice was wide and the food delicious. All the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommend it.

Review 76:The location of the room (107) as it was above the dustbins at the rear of the building and quite a bit of noise.

Review 77:The location for my purpose in Dundee. The staff were very good and informative. The restaurant food was good. Room was clean and comfortable.

Review 78:The extractor fans in the bathroom is very noisy...intact they are that noisy u hear them go on in the rooms next to ur room

Review 79:Good big comfy bed, decent shower

Review 80:Waited well over an hour between starter and main course for supper which was very disappointing and by the time it did arrive we really didn't feel like eating anymore.

Review 81:Room was noisy above the kitchen or laundry and very hot, no fan, no bath, small room would not stay here again! Lovely hotel and nice staff especially the reception staff but premier inn rooms can beat this which is a shame!

Review 82:Lounge bar and dining area is comfortable and location was good for us staying locally to see visitors.. Gardens and views are nice too also plenty car parking..

Review 83:Smokers right outside main entrance and cigarette butts left in ashtrays on picnic tables under the gorgeous redwood trees. I sat out there early one morning but the stink of cigarettes drove me back inside.

Review 84:Cheerfulness and friendliness of staff.

Review 85:Great breakfast, locally sourced. Close to city centre and the Tay. Natalie on reception very friendly. All facilities in the room, very good. No issues at all.

Review 86:Our room (212) was located at the end of a lond passage way & next to the doorway for the upper level. As a wedding venue guests are very late at night walking, shouting the lenght of the passage way not giving a second minute thought for others. In the morning the passage way was extermely noisey from 7am onwards so no chance of a lie in!! I really wasnt happy about the location of the room, so much so that I didnt go for breakfast after been awoke in such a fashion by other guests. I was of mind to ask for a refund or deduction on my room on check out but I just wanted outta there ASAP!!

Review 87:A very good location for visiting Dundee, easy to find for people from outside the area.

Review 88:No hash browns at breakfast. Would prefer small dishes to put individual jam into instead of onto same plate as toast. No facecloth in room and had to be requested from reception next morning.

Review 89:Food at dinner was beautifully presented and very friendly staff at mealtimes.

Review 90:Breakfast was ok but like a lot of 3 star plus hotels was only that - ok.

Review 91:Comfortable, clean hotel with very friendly staff about 2 miles from the centre of Dundee. The breakfast room has stunning views over the Tay.

Review 92:We booked through Booking.Com and thought,perhaps wrongly, that we were put in an inferior room. It was right next to the bin shelter and we could hear the staff working from early in the morning. We didn't complain as we were staying for one night only. Room 201.

Review 93:The setting, the food and the ambiance. Although we were only 2 hours drive from home we felt as though we were on holiday and would have liked to have stayed longer.

Review 94:No bad experiences here, would recommend this venue to anyone

Review 95:The professional attitude of the staff at this hotel is more than worth a mention. Waiting staff, bar staff, room staff were all excellant.

Review 96:My only complaint was that the whole place was just too warm for comfort, making it difficult to sleep even in early April. However, the windows do open.

Review 97:I liked the location of the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were first class.

Review 98:The heat in the communal areas. In the morning I thought I was in a sauna.

Review 99:Staff were very helpful and friendly. Very nice setting. Quiet and easy to get to the centre of town. Very nice bar area and food was of a high standard

Review 100:Breakfast a bit disorganised, but it was a busy Sunday after a wedding.

Review 101:Comfortable room. Quiet. Helpful night porter. Great value on a late deal though Bookings.com.

Review 102:The breakfast service The breakfast was alright The service poor Only served one cup of coffee requested more toast received one slice no sugar on table, had to request butter no butter on table this marred the whole stay which was very enjoyable.

Review 103:I enjoyed my stay because I had attended CIOB dinner dance and the meal/service/entertainment made for a very special evening

Review 104:It was very good. Me and my boyfriend have had an amazing night. The room was very clean. I am a house keeper myself and i thought the room was very clean! I asked for champagne and when we came into the room it was there on the table. Very good stay

Review 105:Nothing

Review 106:The room was clean, comfortable, and well equiped with more that the usual tea, coffee sugar etc. which is always good. The staff were a credit to the hotel being friendly & helpful. The food and service in the restaurant was very good. will use this hotel again should I be in the Dundee area.

Review 107:All Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble for anyone. Festive menu was available but there was no problem in mixing the menus so we had the best of both to satisfy our needs. Everything was served promptly. Lounge and bedroom very comfortable. Most enjoyable weekend.

Review 108:Reception staff telling me I am not getting my best western points because I booked through booking.com. Breakfast advertised at £7,00 but charged £12,50.

Review 109:Location

Review 110:Dining room windows were badly needing cleaned and there was no tomatoes on breakfast menu which was stated my husband likes his tomatoes x

Review 111:Staff were very friendly and helpful but giving us total privacy room was very warm and comfortable x

Review 112:Did not like the room layout, which appears to be a traditional old style with the room door directly opening into the bedroom which meant there was strip of light at the bottom of the door visible from the bed which interfered with sleep. I prefer to have a corridor with en-suite/wardrobe etc before you access the actual room. However its an old property so may be difficult to configure

Review 113:Staff friendly, food ok not as great as you would expect from the décor/staff uniform etc

Review 114:SOME OF THE MEALS WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND STAJFF DID NOT RESPOND WELL TO COMPLAITS . ABOUT OBVIOUSLY POOR FOOD WE WERE THERE FOR 5 DAYS AND 2 POOR MEALS WERE IGNORED BY STAFF

Review 115:LOCATION,COMFORT, DESSERTS,BREAKFASTS

Review 116:Being somewhat restricted in mobility the stairs presented some problems with bagage and moving about

Review 117:Very nice and clean, all in one spot, breakfast and supper. Beautiful trees and landsacape

Review 118:Reception staff spoke at 100 miles an hour could not get you booked in any faster even though no one else waiting.

Review 119:Hotel was just great Room large Bathroom huge

Review 120:I am a regular traveller to Dundee from Cardiff with business and I always look forward to staying at the Invercarse. I love the scenery, staff are superb (very polite and friendly) and the food is 10 out of 10 with a great selection of beers.

Review 121:staff slow to clear tables at breakfast.

Review 122:staff very friendly/cheerful/helpful cleanliness of the room/public areas/toilets. good hearty breakfast plenty to suit all visitors
