Room types include singles and doubles, all equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, satellite television, electric kettle, heating, and free toiletries. Rooms are en-suite with private shower rooms. Some rooms are compact, especially singles, and may feel small for those used to larger spaces. A few rooms face the road and can be affected by street noise; others are quieter. There is no air conditioning, but fans are available on request. The hotel offers ground-floor rooms (though the main entrance has steps) and accessible rooms can be requested. Hair straighteners are available either in-room or from reception. Irons and ironing boards are available on request.

Breakfast includes a cooked-to-order full Scottish breakfast, a continental buffet with bread and pastries, unlimited tea and coffee, and Gluten Free options upon request. The breakfast room is small, and the cooked breakfast is prepared fresh.
