Royal Mackintosh Hotel

This is an older hotel but what it lacks in high-end decor it certainly makes up in atmosphere! The staff are really friendly, the bar and dining area cosy and inviting, small and intimate so people actually converse. Our bed was really comfortable, the room was very quiet, the shower was hot with good pressure. We used it as a base to take the train to Edinburgh, the train station is barely a 5 min walk away. The hotel is central so you can stroll around Dunbar. Dinner is reasonably priced and very substantial, as is breakfast - you will not leave hungry!

We had a couple days at this hotel and had a great stay.We were in a large room with a four poster bed in it and it was very comfortable.The shower was hot,room was warm,tea/coffee and biscuits in room,large tv with the only thing missing was enough draw space for clothes.There is a bar with friendly staff working there and also a restaurant which we had a very nice evening meal in The breakfast is very nice and fresh and you order it the night before along with the time you will be attending the breakfast room. Areas for consideration would be a sliding bar for the shower head to be adjusted - as its fixed at a certain height.More drawers for clothes in the bedroom and background music for the restaurant - as its very quiet in there whilst waiting/eating - the bar has music playing. We will return to this hotel should we be in dunbar again.

Booked this hotel on a recommendation and as part of a two night stay. The whole hotel is need of some serious upgrading. Thread bare taped up carpets. Dirty walls and wonky everything else. Water stained walls in bedroom, doors are bare and a kingside bed made of two singles with different mattresses. Beds not clipped together so they started separating during the night. Staff were lovely and the breakfasts were really good. Accommodation unfortunately let the place down.
