Top Desperate Dan Statue Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely welcome from the reception staff who gave great tips for places to eat and drink. The hotel location was perfect for what we needed. No onsite parking available (as it was all full) but a car park round the corner was easy to access. Bed was super comfy and the room was dark at night which my partner was very grateful for. Shower was a powerful rainfall one which was lovely. There was conditioner available which is just wonderful as without it my hair is like straw! Additionally, the towels were fluffy and large, nothing worse than having a great shower then having to dry yourself with a towel the size of a wash cloth! Breakfast was very tasty and there was lots of choice, including a make your own waffle station. Brilliant."

Malmaison Dundee

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, staff pleasant and efficient."

Best Western Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good price, great central location with large car park, very good breakfast and all the staff were really nice and helpful. It’s an old building so it is a bit dated in parts but it was clean and comfy. The central staircase is beautiful and you don’t get workmanship like that nowadays. Very handy location if you are taking a Happy Bus to a gig in Edinburgh - right next to the pick up point."
