Parklands Hotel

Booked this hotel as I prefer to stay in independent hotels rather than chains where possible. |Arrived slightly later than planned however there were still spaces available in their car park. There was lots of tasteful festive lighting which really complemented the building so off to a good start!|Once in reception, the most apparent thing was a bit of an odd smell. Without meaning to sound disrespectful, it kind of reminded me of an old folks home which made me worry about what my room would be like. |The gentleman who checked me in was very friendly and polite and the whole process was seamless. Once in my room, the Tulloch, I was pleased to note that the odd smell wasn’t there and the room smelled fresh and clean. Both my room and its en-suite were spotless. |Whilst this hotel is a 4 star, I was very pleased to see that everything I could possibly need was already in my room. In addition to what’s expected, there was a small electric heater and an umbrella hung up in the wardrobe. |I was also very pleased to see that they had retained the original window shutters which added to the room experience. |Lighting was subtle and the bed very comfy, a great nights sleep was had!|The bathroom was well appreciated with a large spacious rain shower and illuminated mirror with additional shaving mirror. |All in all, an excellent stay and shows why independent hotels are better than chains.

We stayed at Parklands Hotel for one night as a short getaway from busy Edinburgh, and it turned out to be a comfortable and pleasant stay. The location was great, and our room was spacious and well set up. It seemed recently refurbished, as there was still a slight smell of paint or glue, but everything looked fresh and modern. The shower room was large and had all the amenities we needed, which was a nice touch. Most importantly, we had a good night’s sleep — quiet, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for during our short break. Overall, Parklands Hotel is a solid choice for a relaxing night away, with a great location and comfortable rooms.

We had a lovely weekend break with dinner bed and breakfast. I was impressed with the quality of the food and the menu, whilst small, was varied and so well done, great quality produce. Particularly loved the Tonka bean creme brulee and the cod dish. Breakfast choices were plentiful, and all freshly served - not buffet style. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The garden was beautiful and the location, with on site parking was ideal. Bedrooms comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Parklands Hotel is a gem! From the U.S., I arranged a reunion luncheon in April for my 92 year old aunt with several of her childhood friends (who hadn’t seen each other for many years) and everything about our two day visit was outstanding. I came over to train up with her from Manchester and from beginning to end we had the best time in Perth. A belated but very heartfelt thank you to the amazing staff. I’ll certainly recommend Parklands to friends traveling in Scotland and I’ll definitely be back!

I stayed at Parklands for two nights (Friday and Saturday) and would happily return, having secured an attractive rate for a smaller double. The hotel is about a 10–15 minute walk from Perth Theatre and the Concert Hall, with plenty of free parking on site.||My room was nicely decorated and appeared newly refurbished, with an en-suite walk-in rain shower and effective secondary glazing that kept out road noise. It was well equipped, with ample power sockets and a comfortable bed, though there was no fridge or mini-safe. My room was on the first floor with no lift access, so those with mobility issues may wish to request a ground-floor room.||Staff were pleasant, and Wi-Fi was fast throughout. I’ve reviewed the restaurant separately, bottom line is it was excellent for dinner. I didn’t try breakfast; continental and cooked options are priced separately, and you must choose cooked dishes the night before, which I find off-putting.||The only real disappointment was the lack of housekeeping, the bed wasn’t made and supplies weren’t replenished. Having to visit reception for coffee sachets felt more Travelodge than boutique. For a four-star hotel, that’s enough to lose them a star on my rating.||The bar and lounge were comfortable, with a good whisky selection and views over the garden. In summer, the terrace would be a lovely spot for evening drinks.

Great location - easy access to train station and for walking into the centre of town. Lovely gardens if the weather is good. |Thankfully only stayed one night otherwise we would have moved. |Reception - not very welcoming on arrival. Told to fill out our breakfast order at reception - and "no, cannot return it later as people forget"!! Very rude. Appreciate may be looking to minimise food waste - but do they really need people to order everything in advance?? Check out - same person, possibly owner - same attitude. Did not ask anything about our stay and by this time decided to just leave as he clearly wasn't interested. |Bedroom - large room, looks like it has been recently renovated, but dark furniture and old fashioned. Pillows VERY soft, so totally uncomfortable - looks like they have been used for years. The main problem is the room smells, possibly from a smoker and dog. We opened the window - but unfortunately the smell remained. |Bathroom - recently refurbished and looked great but the smell was even worse than the bedroom and the window did not open. |Breakfast - person serving breakfast was excellent. Food was good, but it all came piled up in small dishes. |Bar - 2 tables at side of the bar. Not at all comfortable or inviting. Prices extortionate -even for a hotel. Better going to one of the bars nearby.

Spent four nights here over our wedding anniversary. The whole experience was superb. From efficient telephone booking with Kerry through check in everything was perfect. Our room and all public areas were spotlessly clean and very welcoming. The quality, presentation and variety of food was deserving of at least one Michelin star. Scott clearly motivates his team, who clearly enjoy and take pride in their roles, to deliver fantastic friendly professional service. Rachel and Cornelia especially are excellent ambassadors for this gem of a hotel. Both of us have experienced first class hotels around the world and the staff, food and service at Parklands deserve more than its current star rating. We will certainly be back and have already recommended it to family and friends planning trips to Scotland in the next year.

Our stay was first class. The room was very spacious, clean and very well decorated. The en-suite was outstanding.|We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was to a very high standard, delicious.|Breakfasts were exceptional.|Superb value for money.|Hosts very welcoming.

Were here for 4 nights. Stayed on the 3rd floor in the "attic". Got a bit bumped on the head (ceiling) here and there but was otherwise a comfortable stay. Would have given this a 5 except that the bed had seen better days. The gentleman ("small Scott", as he referred to himself) is very professional, personable with great hospitality skills. The man checking us in was a bit brusque and questioned the reason for us asking for a fridge and tried to give us some b/s about smaller towns in Scotland not having them in hotel rooms. He also tried the hard sell for brekkie. Dude ... please ... we are experienced (crusty) travellers who have travelled throughout Scotland. Regardless, this is well-run property. No complaints!

I love small hotels and the Parkland fills the bill. With 15 rooms it's really more of an Inn. Situated a sort 5 minute walk from the train station (but you don't hear any train) and a quick 10 minutes from the town center it's a great location if you a visiting on a short holiday like we were. There is a nice park next to it as well. Rooms are huge!! By UK standards with king size bed ( at least in out room). The rooms are a bit dated, but not in a bad way. They were clean and neat. The have a nice bar and lounge room where I sit writing this review, but the real gem is the out door patio and garden. Absolutely beautiful, in fortunately is has been raining part of the day and we are unable to enjoy them. But the advertise a beer garden, so even if you are not staying here I would say it is worth a visit and a pint on a fine summer night

A nice small hotel conviently located near to the town centre, South Inch and railway station. Rooms are nicely decorated, with a nice ensuite bathroom. I've stayed during the summer and found the hetaing still on and the room too warm. Another problem was that my room overlooked the railway station which was noisey during the night with goods trains. Food is very good, but fairly expensive. Large car park but not many spaces at the top of the hill. Nice freidnly staff.

Stayed here one night jacuzzi was amazing in one of the Scottish named rooms. food was great dessert was even better

Stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions when I moved to Perth, it is the best option of all the hotels in Perth is convienient for town and the railway station. Well deserved reputation for great food in it's restaurants. Provides free wifi which is a real plus. Still use it for dining and sitting drinking wine on the terrace in Summer.
