We stayed at the Ross for my sister’s hen party and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The booking process and Lorna and others at reception were absolutely brilliant, even with many changes and questions before the day, they could not have been more helpful. The karaoke room is so fun and we had last minute cocktail orders which were accommodated for us and were simply amazing. Such funky decor, the rooms were amazing, delicious breakfast - all just 10/10! Emily was our server in the dining room and she had a tough job with many requests and she was absolutely brilliant. She was so friendly and lovely. Cannot recommend enough!!

Guest reviews
The Ross averages 4.7 out of 5 across 492 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
A really lovely stay. A perfect location for exploring, but the double panes windows kept the room quiet at night. We were able to open the windows to catch a breeze even. There is heating and air con in the room. The bathroom was well sized and the water pressure/heat in the shower, divine. Room was spacious for being a lower category. Beds were quite comfy. The vibe of the hotel is quite fun, quirky, and cool.
What an amazing experience! Simon and Nick were consistently great at The bar. The ladies at the front desk were impeccable and professional. Everyone was full of knowledge and able to help me navigate my activities as well as laundry services. This hotel is centrally located and has great restaurants and facilities. I’m going to book this again for next time!
