What guests think

Across many reviews, The Tontine Hotel is praised for very friendly, helpful staff, a central High Street location by the river, and satisfying cooked breakfasts and dinners, with generally comfortable rooms that several guests find clean and welcoming.

On-site parking is limited but alternatives are nearby, the property is dog friendly, and there is no lift so upper floors involve stairs. Drawbacks recurring in reviews include some very warm rooms with no air conditioning, occasional dated or worn areas and minor maintenance issues, street noise in front-facing rooms, and a few service or communication lapses. Expect a traditional stay with warm service and reliably good food.

Our room overlooking the river was immaculate. The hotel receptionist, Laura, was very welcoming and helpful. We were too late to get a hotel parking space but as it was Sunday the following day there was no problem parking on the road. Public areas a little bit tired but breakfast was plentiful and in the the very fine Adams Room.

Two-night stay in April, Peebles is a small town and the Tontine is centrally located with ~10 parking spaces behind it. The staff was very friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations and assistance with have some laundry done overnight. The included breakfast was excellent and filling. Would stay there again.

Overnight as a couple. Dinner bed and breakfast £185. Check in was good apart from parking. Sorted in the end. Room looked lovely and had a smashing view that you could see when lying in bed. Room itself was very very hot, we had a fan on all night, which was in the cupboard, so someone else must have complained about it. Shower and bath. Dinner was lovely. Steak cooked to perfection. Again breakfast was smashing although we had booked for 9am and arrived at 5 past to be told we were late and should have been there at 8.45. Would stay again.

For anyone who values old fashioned traditions of politeness and friendly service coupled with excellent food at sensible prices; a large roomy lounge with comfortable seating and perfectly adequate bedrooms, then this hotel is the one to choose. It is a Grade 1 Listed Building of historical importance, with a rare Adam fireplace and surround in the dining room. Its a shame that the Planning department are so restrictive and short sighted about repairs to external window frames.

Solo traveller staying for one night only. Only had the breakfast, of which there was a good selection of fruit, cereals, yoghurt etc. They also come round to take your order for hot food when seated and I have to say that was really good. Staff are young and very professional in their approach, appearance and manner. Beds nice and comfortable. Room was very clean, although the shower could do with upgrading. But, hey, warm water came out of it, so you could wash up 😉

Such lovely, helpful staff. The surroundings were very comfortable, the food was first class. It’s evident it really is ‘Team Tontine’ with everyone working well together. The service in the restaurant was of a high standard, the tables are nicely spaced and the standard of cleanliness was exemplary. We were aware that dogs were catered for and those we encountered during our stay were very well behaved!

Poor welcome. Despite being told on 4 days earlier that our 3 rooms would be prioritised by Housekeeping so that we could check-in at 1pm instead of 4pm, there was no record and the receptionist doubted what I was saying. She then announced that there was a charge of £10 per room if we were allowed early access. I then received a phone call an hour later to say that we could indeed gain early access with no additional charge. Too late I’m afraid and a poor start.
