Hotels Near V&A Dundee in Dundee

We stayed for two nights, ate at the hotel on the 2nd evening and enjoyed the food and service. Staff are very helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. We did not have the breakfast. Used the gym which was very well-provisioned. There is ample parking on site for£5/night. Would certainly return to the Apex and recommend to others

What a great surprise finding the Shaftesbury Lodge Dundee. Found myself unexpectedly in Dundee for the day and night. Really didn’t want to fork out on city centre prices but wanted a good rated Hotel and found the Shaftesbury Hotel Dundee by chance. It’s around a 25 minute (1.4mi) walk from train station. Please don’t let the 25 minute walk put you off. The walk takes you past some of Dundee’s best rated coffee shops along Perth Road on route to the Hotel. The money saved on city centre hotel prices allows you to stop by these gems of coffee shops. Arrived 2 hours before check in and the manager was super cool and friendly about it. The room looked really cozy and noticed a bed I wanted to jump into at 1pm but more about that later. Room is of Victorian design with high ceilings. Extremely clean, tidy and cozy. Kettle, coffee, galaxy drink, Pringles, bottled water and tasty biscuits all on offer. Smart TV with various apps. I had Netflix & BBC iPlayer on. Plenty of fresh towels and a great shower. Oh! The bed? Quite simply Heaven! Taken a note of the bedding and pillows and will try to recreate at home. Just finished the all Scottish breakfast (other tasty options are available). The 25 minute walk allows you to burn off the coffee shop treats and big breakfast. Best 25 minute walk in Dundee😀. Was embarrassed to have found the room rate at only £60. Sometimes you get lucky. If I’m back for the football again will seek out the Shaftesbury. Staff very friendly and polite! Thank You.

Stayed here on 1st June for the very first time. Building and grounds definitely need some work from outside and I would have scored less but the amazing friendly team and very clean rooms made up for this. As a regular user of Travelodge (and also other hotels) I urge the company to invest in this one. Located slightly out the city in among residential streets means very quiet and no traffic/people noise. Would stay again but prefer the building and rooms in Dundee Centre one.

The nicest things come in the smallest parcel! Maybe small in size but always delivers. Have visited this hotel several times and have never left unhappy. It’s lovely to sit out on a lovely evening with a glass of wine. The grounds are immaculate, with table and chairs and it is very peaceful. The restaurant is first class as is the food. Rooms are very comfortable and have tea/coffee facility. There is also an iron and board. It is a short distance out of the city centre but several buses run from the town centre to right outside the hotel. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel you will not be disappointed.

We recently stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. We chose it for its location of being close to family in Leuchars but primarily because it was dog friendly. We didn’t on this occasion use the golf facilities. We stayed in a room in one of the lodge buildings which was ideal as it was next to the golf course and ideal for dog walks or just letting him out supervised to do his business! The room was comfortable and clean and with all the essentials needed for a mini break. The breakfast in the hotel was very good some days buffet and some days ordered from the menu. We ate an evening meal in the hotel several days and whilst the menu choice is not extensive the food was good quality and value. With having the dog all our meals were in the bar area which was fine for us as you have lovely views over the golf course and it was very relaxed. All the staff were friendly and helpful providing a great level of service. We would definitely come back and stay again here. A good location for exploring St Andrews, Dundee, Carnoustie & many beaches on this coast

No real complaints about hotel. All staff, reception, cleaners, waiters were very friendly & efficient. Hotel itself is a little dated & in need of an upgrade although the large beds are very comfortable. Small leisure centre is decent with swimming pool, sauna, steam room & gym. Location is just outside the city & only a 5- 10 minute drive. Hotel gardens are nice. Only real disappiontment was the cooked part of the breakfast. All the usual choices, cereal,fruit, yogurts etc ok but the hot food especially the eggs were well overcooked both mornings. Mushroom sitting in water, also the tomatoes. Otherwise, everything ok.

Where else to stay in St Andrews than in a room over looking the Old Course? There is little to fault about the hotel. Great, spacious, well appointed room. Excellent breakfast and all the associated things you need in a 5 star hotel. Topped off with an amazing whisky selection in the Road Hole bar overlooking the course. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it, and they were super accommodating and understanding when we needed to change our reservation from May to September at very short notice.

We got an overnight stay with dinner as a wedding gift. I am glad it was a gift and we hadn’t paid for it ourselves as I was left disappointed. The hotel is certainly tired and in need of upgrading. I’ve had nicer rooms at a premier inn. The swimming area is like a public swimming baths and also in need of a serious refurb. Dinner was ok, nothing special. We had booked for 7pm and were not finished until after 9 - very slow service even though it was not particularly busy. My husband ordered soup for starter and had to go looking for a spoon as he wasn’t given one and no waiting staff were in our area to ask for one. He then had a burger which was raw in the middle. Not what you expect from a 4 star hotel. We won’t be back and won’t be recommending to others.
