Reviews for The Park Hotel
Review 1:Shower in need of repair. No breakfast available . Looks as if hotel in middle of updating so some parts rather tired looking
Review 2:Evening meal was good. Staff friendly
Review 3:Dining room had a stale odour, Bar open until 1am and we were in the room above (room 2). This information needs to be on the hotel information.
Review 4:Food looked excellent
Review 5:Situated with few near facilities we had to rely on taxis for transportation although this wasn't really a problem.
Review 6:This was a good, basic hotel which suited our needs. At a mere £26 per night for B&B it was exceptional value.
Review 7:Didn't like our double bed it was so hard so I tried the sofa bed which was lumpy but was ok for my grandson's. So I ended up in the single bed which was ok but it sunk in the middle which wasn't good for my back.I ended up with backache for a couple of days, but to be fare I do suffer with back problems. Other than that everything else was good.
Review 8:The room layout was good, spacious and very clean with ensuite. Service was great and the breakfast was lovely. Staff was very helpful and polite. Hotel is on the main road into the town centre but traffic was okay didn't really hear it.
Review 9:Internet unfortunately was not stable..once i had for some time then i had to restart my electronic devices..it happened likely because according to saying of Colleen, he changed configuration of main router..hope it is gonna be better connection later on
Review 10:Colleen, the manager of hotel, quite friendly person
Review 11:Needs little touches like towel rails and soap dishes. Breakfast more toast ..Bar shouldnt be hotel entrance .Clean windows
Review 12:staff particularly the lady in resteraunt and barman Spud both friendly and helpful
Review 13:We had a lovely room at the front of the building, very spacious and clean. En-suite was clean and towels were spotlessly clean too. All the staff we met were very friendly and the breakfast was very tasty. Would definitely book there again.
Review 14:The room itself was a bit "tatty" and tired. Curtains didn't close properly, toilet blocked up overnight, after only normal use! worst of all the neighbouring room seemed to be having some sort of party till late then left the TV on all night long which I could hear through the wall. next morning, the restaurant didn't open until 8.10, even though I had asked for an 8am breakfast due to having work commitments. the bill was reduced by £10 after I complained about the above. the breakfast itself was good and served pleasantly.
Review 15:the female staff member on duty the evening I arrived was very welcoming and accommodating when I had no success eating out and offered a bar meal at short notice, with polite and friendly service. the food was of a good standard.
Review 16:Needs modernising or redecorating. Shower room/toilet would benefit from a lock on the door and floor flooded all the way to the toilet when using the shower.
Review 17:Stayed in self contained apartment with two bedrooms. Was very spacious and owner was very attentive.
Review 18:There was no wardrobe or hairdryer but as they are upgrading I'm sure these will be on the list
Review 19:Room was fine they are going to be upgrading them. Meals were excellent staff friendly and helpful. Prices in bar are excellent
Review 20:Room was spacious and comfortable although one bed was very soft. Staff and owner provided wonderful customer service, bar and restaurant offered good food and drink at reasonable prices. A good walk from city center. Older facility with some modern upgrades.
Review 21:Excellent value for money. Bed was a little bit soft but room was clean and spacious. Wi fi worked in all areas of the hotel. Breakfast was freshly cooked and excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Review 22:Room is basic but extremely clean. They offered me an evening meal in case I had to be away before breakfast at no extra cost. I've stayed at more expensive hotels and not experienced such friendly people and would happily stay here again
Review 23:Nothing
Review 24:Nice welcome on arrival, friendly locals. Best nights sleep I had in a hotel for a long time. It is basic but had everything we needed for a stopover. Would use again
Review 25:A little hard to find. We thought carparking might be difficult but staff guided us to a location nearby.
Review 26:Fantastic staff - frieindly & caring, Overall feeling of run by someone who cares. Room very well appointed and very comfortable.
Review 27:I liked everything about our stay from entering the hotel until leaving the next morning. We had a lovely large room, it had a beautiful en suite toilet and shower everything about our stay was perfect, especially the price
Review 28:Hotel was a bit run down generally and the shower was leaking, curtains in the rooms fell down when pulled over and tv in room initially didn't work. Very steep stairs to get up to the rooms.
Review 29:Comfortable beds and bar on premises. Good breakfast but a bit of a wait for it despite booked a time slot.
Review 30:Stayed 2 nights. Both nights made felt very welcome by owner and staff. We never had breakfast due to early starts but was compensated with evening meal which was excellent. Locals were friendly in bar at night so overall enjoyed our stay
Review 31:The distance from town centre, it is a 25 to 30 minute walk to the town centre, and a taxi driver told us it is about 2 miles from the whitesands to the hotel,much further than we anticipated walking on a relaxing weekend,also room had no where to hang your clothes no drawers only a pole sticking out from the wall with a couple of coat hangers on it,maybe a health and safety risk here, also the shower using the term very loosly, a wet room with a sprinkle of either boiling water or cold water, then you have the joy of brushing the bathroom floor to get rid of the puddle of water you are left with on the floor, eventually you are left with a soaking wet floor to stand in while using the only mirror in the room to shave or in my case put on some make up, breakfast was ok, the bar area was quite nice and a little beer garden outside was also quite nice if the weather was good, staff were pleasant enough, but overall I would not rate this any more than a licensed guest house with poor amenities, our room was not worth £104 for a 2 night stay poor value for money, also I do not expect a table from the dining room to be in the bedroom as a bedside table.
Review 32:Bedrooms are a bit dated but the owner has said he has not been there that long and has been concentrating on the restaurant side. He intends to start modernising the bedrooms this winter.
Review 33:Staff very pleasant and very good prices on drinks. In a good location for the town etc.
Review 34:Please get wall mirrors in the rooms not just the en-suite.We ladies like to do our hair in comfort.
Review 35:EVERYTHING. Staff & locals very,very welcoming. Nothing to much trouble. Excellent breakfast & great barman who we kept up rather late.
Review 36:We stayed at the park hotel as we had a family party nearby. The staff were very helpful and professional and the room was clean an comfortable. Breakfast was good and excellent value for money.
Review 37:I would have liked a bath.but my husband prefers a shower, but that is a small didn't like.
Review 38:Helpful staff , good food, lovely restaurant , plenty parking and the price was very good value
Review 39:The hotel was a little difficult to find. Annan Road is very long and it would have been helpful to have the house number (208) to help with the sat-nav.
Review 40:Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms are an excellent size and the wet-room type bathroom very spacious. Beds are a little too firm for me, but that is personal choice. Food (if required) is very good and reasonably priced. Breakfast was good and plentyful.
Review 41:Staff couldn't be more helpful. Room pleasant and comfortable. Asked for ironing board and it was there in 2 minutes. Breakfast was really high quality and served in the lovely restaurant. Best hotel I've been in for this price.
Review 42:Loved the location as a great stopover place for a long journey. Connor, the chief cook and welcomer, had a great accent and a friendly disposition. The breakfast was great....had genuine haggas for the first time. Would recommend to any travelling Aussie.
Review 43:Bit disappointed that the menu given on the hotel web site was not available as "the chef had left". The menu had looked so good and we were looking forward to eating there.
Review 44:Breakfast was very good and freshly cooked, our room was comfortable and the wifi good. We would stay again but hope that a new chef has be recruited by then
Review 45:They are doing their best with an older hotel. Rooms need a bit of a make over, but the bed is comfortable, and they are tops with the breakfast. Good value for England(expensive country)
Review 46:Large, light room, fairly basic but comfortable Hotel chosen for proximity to Torthorwald 20 minute walk to town centre. Excellent Indian dinner
Review 47:The one way system in Dumfries. Which has nothing to do with the Hotel.
Review 48:The way we could leave and enter our room without having to enter the Hotel main bar. And although we were at the front and by the main road we could not hear the traffic passing by.
