We arrived, two travelers in our mid-60s, with two heavy bags, to discover the lift out of operation. Our room was on the second floor. We had no idea about the layout of the building(s) - that it's a maze of narrow stairs and long corridors snaking from section to section. The desk attendant, rather than volunteering, "we'll have your bags brought up," said, "it's up to you, there's someone who can bring your bags if that's what you want." In no position to know any better, we started off on our own. Five minutes later we were still lugging our bags up stairs, sweating profusely. Honestly, Salutation Hotel: just have your staff carry older travelers' heavy luggage when your lift is out. Especially if you're putting them in a remote part of the hotel on an upper floor, as you did us. Our building was noticeably stuffier and warmer than the main building containing reception and the restaurants. And our room was warmer and stuffier still. Opening the windows did nothing to cool the room. A staff member did bring a small fan upon request, which we appreciated. The room was clean and the beds comfortable - though sleeping in the warm space was not easy.

The Salutation Hotel in Perth is central, historic, has great food, a cozy bar and good rooms. As a solo traveller it had all I needed.

Great location, friendly staff, clean

The cost of food and drink was expensive

Great for our stopover for family of 4. Great location and good room layout for 4. No working lift or shower only downsides.

Looking very tired. Needs a lot of work. Very out dated.

We were told prior to arrival that the lift was out of order. I explained that my husband had recently undergone hip surgery and couldn't manage too many stairs. We were promised assistance with luggage and allocated a room close to reception. When we arrived, we were met by a receptionist who barely understood English and were allocated a room furthest away from reception. There was no assistance with luggage. The room was extremely small and the ensuite was inadequate for someone using a walking frame. The latter could benefit from a good scrub. Mould around the edges of the bath and shower curtain could do with replacement. The curtains on one side were frayed and there is no USB port to charge a phone. This is standard in most hotels these days. We didn't have breakfast. The bar staff were very friendly and professional which can't be said about the receptionist.

Very enjoyable stay , room nice and clean staff very friendly, breakfast good value, will definitely be back next time we’re in Perth,

It was a very old building but very clean and the staff were lovely.

The staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The hotel is a little tired but clean, the shower was good and the bed very comfortable. Ideal central location for exploring the city, everything withing walking distance.

Clean comfy room great breakfast

Lovely breakfast plenty on offer . Lovely large bedroom and bathroom - very clean and tidy but don’t expect a view. Hotel does not have a car park but there is plenty public car parking nearby that doesn’t charge between 6pm & 8am

Good location for central Perth in Scotland’s oldest hotel which since 1699 has grown a bit like topsey. It gives character but can be a bit of a maze to get around

Very interesting place, super historic. Lovely place to stay.

Keep in mind it has been there for a few hundred years. The rooms are good and the hotel is near food drink and music

Lovely old hotel that is very well situated. Staff were very friendly when we engaged with them and helpful when we made a request. Breakfast was nice with multiple options for hot and cold. Beds were comfortable and the quirks of a historical building always make things more interesting!

Good buffet breakfast with plenty of options

Location was great. Rooms and beds are old and it seems to be clean but when housekeeping is turning over rooms, clean sheets and towels are on the floor outside of all of the rooms. Breakfast had plenty of food options as much as you want and only £10 pp. All staff was charming and helpful. Beds were soft/older with pancake pillows. Price was ideal. It is the oldest hotel in town with a lot of history. Although it would be amazing with a makeover, “The Sally” would be a lot more expensive.

Staff and service excellent room was a little tired but given age of hotel was not an issue

Lovely big sunny room. Very comfortable beds. Nice big bathroom with plenty room for toiletries. Very central for shopping and restaurants. Had a lovely 3 night stay.
