Symphony Lovat Hotel  

An easy to reach hotel within walking distance of the town centre. Quiet clean and spacious room. Breakfast was delicious; freshly cooked and offering a wide range of choices in a spacious restaurant with comfy seats and banquettes. Didn't eat there for dinner as the menu looked lack lustre, but found an excellent restaurant in Perth (10 minutes walk away) called The Bothy which was fantastic.

Apart from the restaurant, the hotel needs updating, but that was reflected in the price, so I had no complaints and would return.

Friendly staff, excellent meal in the restaurant, lovely breakfast, clean room.

Good breakfast

Simple accommodation. Adequate for single night stay for onward travel

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.The food was very good and service polite and obliging.

The stairs

It's location was ideal for our needs.Rooms were clean,food was very good,staff very helpful and pleasant.

Rooms need updating.

It is located a few minutes walk from city centre where a pleasant walk after a hearty breakfast is good. • Ample parking space. • Do not need to use car to get to centre.

Quite pricey for meals compared to oher hotels in near vacinity. • Hotel feels tired in need of refurbihment especially the stair carpet which is threadbare at edge of every step > this will become dangerous shortly and needs urgent attention

The staff

When booking this hotel I looked at the website to look at the pictures of the hotel because I am not a fan of the older looking hotels and with the pictures it made the hotel look modem and stylish. The day we arrived in Perth after 6 hours on the train, we took a taxi and arrived at the Lovet Hotel, Perth. The receptionist was happy and very welcoming, which was very pleasant. After the train journey we got to the hotel just after 2pm we were aware that we couldn’t check in until 4pm however we asked if the room was ready which it was so she let us check in early, which was fantastic after the long journey. Our room was in a part of the hotel that to me felt like an old house next to the hotel. We were told the way to get to the room was up the stairs and then down the stairs back to ground floor, this was not easy with your bags, however she also said an easier route which was to go out side and around to the side of the hotel to what was called the white door, so obviously we took the easy route, luckily it was a dry day but if it had been raining it would not of been pleasant. This part of the hotel was called the ‘Villa’ a message to the wise if you have to book this hotel STATE that you do not want to be in the villa, as it felt like miles away from the hotel, you could not pick up the WIFI signal and if you were out past 11pm you had to got all the way through the hotel, inconvenient if you had been out that night as it was a lot of stairs up and down. Whilst walking around the hotel there were wires tied in bundles all round the ceilings we were later told that they were for a new fire alarm system, this immediately concerned me as it gave me the impression that the existing fire alarm was either faulty or not working. Room 226 We opened the door to a room that had an extremely strong smell of paint so the first thing we did was to open the window.

Bedrooms need to be refurbished

Convenient for our pupose - break in travel.

Sorely in need of refurbishing

I was familiar with the Lovat Hotel around 15years ago when I used to visit Perth regularly. As we were attending a wedding nearby I chose the Lovat. The staff we friendly and the food was very good, but the furnishings and fittings in the room were tierd and shabby. I would not choose this Hotel in the future.

Comfortable, clean, good food and friendly staff, also close enough to the centre of town.

Great room, quiet location and good breakfast.

Evening meals a bit expensive in relation to nearby restaurants.

Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed having high tea on Sunday. Being able to use the leisure facilities at nearby best western queens was also very enjoyable.

The hotel could do with a bit of updating such as a new carpet on the stairs and also the toilets dont flush very well
