Night in the City

First time in Dunfermline
We stayed here as we were going to Knockhill, which was ten mins away . Staff very friendly, room clean, but as we were facing the High Street, it was very noisy. Would go back but request a room at the back. Great location for shops, restaurants and the lovely Pittencrieff Park.

Two night stay with friends. Great location, staff were nice. In particular Dave, the night shift guy, we was very nice. Really polite and capable. My room was on the second floor, so lots of stairs to carry stuff up and down.

Great stay
Everything about our stay in The City Hotel was great from comfy bed to breakfasts x All staff very friendly and helpful x the only downside for me was the shower x the head was fixed so high up with little pressure with a wide angle spray that i found it hard to rinse my hair properly x

Wonderful!
We LOVED staying here! The food was great (especially breakfast and afternoon tea!). The staff was warm and friendly, especially the girls in the restaurant (breakfast and supper) and in particular Joe, the night manager.

The hotel was clean and well run. There isnt a lift, so wouldn't be suitable for people with mobility issues.
There is a pay & display car park immediately outside the hotel's back entrance, which costs £4 a day.
Breakfast was excellent. The full Scottish included haggis and black pudding.
The only gripe is that they say that guests aren't allowed to eat takeaway food in their rooms. The evening I had a takeaway, it was perfect weather for eating outside, but i wouldn't have been happy in bad weather
