“Very poor budget rooms with stained carpets”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

I booked these rooms for 3 of my work colleagues who were doing work in the area. The rooms were a terrible state with stained carpets and sheets. The corridors were the only thing that has been refurbished at this guest house. 6am there were people swearing and complaining and so was very noisy. Breakfast was not included as suggested on the website, but i think the guys would probably have passed on this anyway due to the poor hygiene of the place.

Room Tip: Don't stay here unless you really aren't bothered by poor hygiene and noise - my tip is to p...

“Pleasantly Surprised!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2009

people found this review helpful

Well to start off I have stayed at this guest house before and to be honest it was a dump! But I was back in Arbroath and couldn't find a place to stay soo I phoned up and made a reservation for 2 days, I was really surprised as the kitcken, walkway, rooms had been done up. I was given room no. 17 it was well better than the room I got the last time I went. I think the improvements that have been made should be given 10/10 but still more could be done that is why I have given 4 stars

  • Liked — The toilet was nice and clean
  • Disliked — More improvements could be made to services like WIFI connectivity

“not suitable for pigs never mind humans”

I booked myself and my husband into the kingsley for two nights and my elderly aunt and uncle for one night last week,my husbands idea as his parents had stayed there a few years ago and said it was lovely,which it was. we were all down for my fathers funeral. All i can say is how disgusting this place is.I asked for a room with two single beds for my aunt and uncle with no stairs,what they got was stairs,and a double bed and single bed.The double bed had a peace of 4by4 holding up the middle of the bed,while the remote control was thick with what looked like dead skin.Thier bathroom was clean but thats no use when you have to go downstairs to use the loo.
Our room was a double with pillows so stained i asked for other ones and i had to ask for towels for the bathroom,Breakfast was a joke,the toast was cold the eggs was not cooked properly and when we opened the small packets of butter they were a kind of greeny colour,we asked for another dish of butter and the guy just took one off another table,and it was exactly the same. we would have gone somewhere else but everywhere else was booked up.all this for £60 per room.they said we would be in the extension which is really quite,i sounded to me like cars were driving though the bedroom at night only to find a busy room right outside in the morning.My aunt complained the the manager that her sheets on the bed were damp and she was frozen all night and all he said was i did my best. There was mould in the shower,carpets damp writing on the walls and young down and outs smoking and drinking in the doorway. I had to go to my brothers house for a shower in the mornings.will not ever go back there
