“Regular Visits”

Parklands

6 Apr 2008

I found this site looking for something else and the decided to look up Parklands in Perth where I have been staying for the last 10 years on a fairly regular basis.

Over the last 10 years the hotel has been through 3 sets on owners and many changes, it has always had a good reputation both from guests and locals,but since the Edwards arrived the hotel has become the place to stay in Perth. I have stayed in many of the other hotels in and around Perth, either through being booked somewhere else by work or not being able to get into the Parklands and I can only say that my preferred option by far is this small and friendly hotel.

Although some rooms are small ( I always request a Superior room if available) they are well furnished and on my recent visit in February my room had just had a LCD flat screen TV installed. They have had Wifi for years which is free and as others say I find the DVD and CD in each room to be an advantage when you travel a lot. It is always very clean and personally, I have never had a problem apart from the odd light bulb going.

I have always found the food at breakfast to be of an excellent standard and there is always such choice available. Food has become their particular focus recent years and it has become a reason for many people to go and stay at the hotel, they have won awards for it on many occasions. If I entertain in Perth on business then I use either the hotel or 63 Tay street which they are involved with.

If you love good food and friendly staff who take time to look after you then this is the place to stay. You may need to forgive the odd thing such as squeaky floor boards and occasional road noise but I experienced that in plenty of other old town hotels.

I have recommend this hotel to many colleagues and they all enjoyed their stay . It is a firm favourite of mine.

Please beware, we payed over £100 for a room with a jacuzzi , that was not in fact a jacuzzi, i can only say that if you require to feel like you are being boiled and bubbled like potatoes in a pan then this is for you, one of the buttons was broken and the shower seems to only produce hot water in the evenings not in the morning. Room was nice enough. Award winning restaurant was not great either, really poor for the awards stated, i really felt ripped off. Great night out in perth, shame about hotel.

It is great to return to this hotel, this time we booked a 2 night break at £159.00 per person DBB. The food both at the hotel and the restaurant they operate in town is wonderful. The staff are great both out front and in the kitchen. For us cooked breakfast is a real treat with Smoked Salmon and Scrambled eggs a highlight! We will return again soon.

“Average at Best”

Parklands

8 Mar 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed one night, as part of a business trip to the area. The hotel is tidy enough, but I am not sure about STB 4 and AA 3 * ratings. Although I had booked a single room, I was given a beautifully clean small double, which was most acceptable. However, I think a couple would have found the accommodation and the bed very cramped. On the other hand, the bathroom was nearly as big as the bedroom and, again, spotless. Perhaps a weakness of older, less well insulated buildings, but TV noise was noticeable from a number of adjacent suites.

Free secure Wi-fi throughout the hotel and decent cable TV were amongst what attracted me to the Parklands in the first place and both worked well. I was also anticipating good eating, as much is made of the two restaurants and cuisine.

However, I was late arriving and, as expected, the restaurants were closed for the night. Nevertheless, given the perceived standard of this hotel, I was looking forward to a decent sandwich from Room Service. The night manager was pleasant enough and offered a range of fillings for my "sarnie". I was bitterly disappointed to receive two rounds of thin-sliced white bread, sparsely filled with watery, wafer-thin ham.....not exactly the hand carved gammon on crusty wholemeal I had expected. Furthermore, so far as I could see, there were no tea or coffee making facilities in my room.

Breakfast was a major disappointment, there was little left in the way of fresh fruit midway through the sitting and the full Scottish was tragically overcooked.

My colleagues and I stayed on for lunch, but again the fare was very average. Nice tasty local steak, but the roast (I think) potatoes again suffered from overcooking.

The staff were pretty good, although I had to smile when presented with the credit card reader together with an invitation to add a gratuity to what was a bill comprising grossly over-inflated prices for just about everything.

I have no problems with paying well for value for money. I believe this hotel has the same ratings as the Royal Marine at Brora, which is more expensive, but in a different league altogether.

I read somewhere that the Parklands is a B&B pretending to be a hotel. To my way of thinking, it does appear to fall between two stools. On the one hand very tidy and homely, but on the other not really delivering on that all important factor….quality!!

“cream of the crop”

Parklands

6 Mar 2008

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights at the end of feb.
the room was the" city of perth" suite, it had everything you could want tv ,dvd ,cable,stereoetc.
the bathroom was enormous and beautifully kitted out,the jacuzzi bath was a favourite.
The view from the window is straight onto the park ,lovely.
We had dinner in the Bistro and it was an absolute treat to eat food made by someone who obviously loves cooking to perfection,that was one of my all time meals ,excellent.
The hotel staff were friendly and it all made for a great relaxing stay.Many thanks.
