What guests think

At Shaftesbury Hotel Dundee, travelers consistently praise the welcoming staff and generous, cooked-to-order breakfasts, while many find the rooms spacious and comfortable with handy in-room extras, and appreciate the quiet, walkable location with on-street parking.

The property is older and several reviews note dated bathrooms or decor, scuffed paint, and minor maintenance needs. Cleanliness is generally good but can be inconsistent, with occasional missed areas like under beds, shower tiles, carpets, or baths. A few guests mention slow-to-arrive hot water, quirks with showers, and, in cooler weather, rooms that feel chilly. Expect a friendly, good-value stay in a quiet, traditional setting.

Our room (Triple Room Ensuite Bathroom) was spacious, beds were comfortable. Couch, TV and dining table made us feel like we were home. Large windows are absolutely fascinating. Although the bathroom was old, it was clean spotless. Show gel, lotions, shampoo and towels were provided. Our room was equiped with mini fridge, kettle, snacks, bottled water and variety of drinks (tea, coffee and hot chocolate). it’s possible to park right in front of the property on the street free of charge. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, there were lots of choices such as Scottish Breakfast, omelettes, Salmon and poached eggs. In our next visit to Dundee, we will definitely stay again!

Very friendly staff our room (number 10) was very clean with tea and coffee crisps and water which were replaced next day when used, much better than a lot of the bigger and more expensive hotels offer. Breakfast was included in the price and again was first class with a good selection. Only criticism the entrance could be tidied up water feature if not working and reception desk not very inviting, other wise for a old house very nice, and a credit to the staff and owners

This is a lovely hotel. I was made welcome and parking was fine (which can be important). I was given a double room even though I had booked a single, which was a nice touch. Walkable to the centre and lots to see. I visited the Discovery centre and Verdant works. Ran out of time for the V & A museum. I was pleasantly surprised with Dundee and would go back.

Excellent room, spacious and light, with lovely bedding. Huge breakfasts cooked to order. A few minutes walk from choice of buses into Dundee centre and good places to eat nearby. Only gripe was cleanliness - the shower tiles needed a serious scrub and behind the bedhead hasn't seen attention in a long time. Otherwise 5 stars all round

Good - lots of complimentary food & drink items in room and toiletries in bathroom. Breakfast was excellent! Staff very polite and courteous. Not so good - floor underneath bed was filthy, clearly not been hoovered for ages. Everywhere else spotless. Some aspects of room needed refreshing, as in paintwork, some curtain hooks missing, grouting around bath, and enamel chips in bath.

A great little hotel, just 10 minutes from a great selection of shops and restaurants and about 30 minutes from the V&A and discovery… thus park the car and enjoy. The room was spacious and comfortable and was cleaned daily. Breakfast was included and if you choose the Scottish option you were full for the day! A great little find on the edge of the city centre. And the Italian, Mexican, and hamburger places were all pretty good!

There were 3 of us and we were given a room with 2 single beds and a double. It also has a sofa, table and 4 chairs. We had a lovely view from our windows and the room had tea and coffee making facilities and also provided bottles of water and pringles. We only stayed 1 night but enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Had a lovely one night stay. Room was very spacious and came equipped with all that I needed. Bed was very comfy and never experienced any disturbance from fellow guests. Barely heard any noise so it was a surprise to see so many folk the next morning at breakfast. Owners were so lovely and welcoming and nothing was ever too much hassle. Only minor downsides to this place is it is slightly outdated decor wise and there was single glazed windows in my room which made the room slightly cold but that is expected in an aged property. Otherwise no complaints and will gladly stay again.

This is A beautiful property, very close to the Perth Road and lots of things to do in Dundee. The room was beautifully appointed, the bed very comfortable, and for me because I had a couple of business meetings, I was delighted that the Wi-Fi was strong and reliable. my only ation about this in is that I never met anyone who worked there. I arrived in the afternoon and stowed my bag Before I checked in (It seemed the end keepers had never been asked to do this before, which was strange to me, but they did accommodate me). I arrived back later in the day to check into my room, which was lovely, but never saw any of the proprietors. Breakfast was delightful, but again never spoke with anyone other than the very kind young woman who filled my coffee. This is a very typical type of stay in the US, but in Scotland and England, I am generally, much more impressed with the kindness and friendliness of the end keepers. If only to check on you and make sure you have what you need. In any case, it does not detract from The loveliness of this inn Or it’s excellent quiet location

Staff very gracious and accommodating. Breakfast was fabulous. Good quality cereals, good range of hot food cooked to order. The mushroom omelette I ordered was the best omelette I've ever had. Sooo good with a light covering of grilled cheese on the top.

Lots of buses into town but a lovely 10 minute walk, passing lots of independent shops en route. Very comfortable and clean.
