Shaftesbury Lodge Indian Restaurant in Dundee City

A disappointing visit. I arrived a little early so I parked and walked around the neighborhood and felt it was really nice, and offered a good variety of restaurants and shoppes, as well as a Sainsbury’s local (always great for food options!). Once I got back to check in, I found myself a bit disappointed. From the outside the space looks well maintained and beautiful, but on the inside, some updates are really needed. - Lamp on bed table had a broken lamp shade - Stains on a bedcover - TV only played radio stations, which I guess is okay because the placement of the TV is blocked by the desk chair it sits on. - Bathroom was teeny, if you’re tall don’t book a single room. My knees almost touched the heater in the bathroom when I’d use the toilet. - No outlet by the bed for charging things. - Bedside table wasn’t clean - Chilly room. Bedroom heater didn’t work. Fortunately I travel with layers. And the bathroom heater was working when I checked in, but part way through the night it went off. Would not stay here again.

Don't expect a 4 star at all. Large room, small bed, bathroom with window, all on the second floor with a very narrow and steep staircase, not the best with suitcases. Carpet on the stairs tattered in several places. The staff were very kind and the breakfast was good, not excellent. Too much money paid for this room. Too many.

The structure is romantic but dilapidated and cleanliness has been absent for some time, the signs of dirt are atavistic. Poor breakfast. The advertising photos are misleading.

Location not bad. Could do with a deep clean. Hot water took a long time to come through. Bed was comfy though!

Big room, a little cold due to original windows in a historic house. Ensuite radiator didn't work so very cold. Service was good when there. Breakfast reasonable, not everything available as on the menu.
