Location was good .

For the value its just right
1.0 / 10.0
The room was nice and big
It was absolutely freezing
We had to wait in the rain in a queue for someone to come from the house across the road to let us into the hotel - saying sorry my mum isnt here to let you in
We complained about how cold it was (via mobile phone as nobody was on site) to be told to help ourselves to a heater from the lounge- this broke down after 10 minutes
I took another heater from the lobby but the room was still baltic
I had asked for a ground floor room to be given one up a flight of stairs - my partner has mobility issues and can't climb stairs (although this was promptly sortes out)
The fridge in the room was mouldy
The paintwork had hairs in it
The pathway to the hotel was badly lit and slippy with moss
The reception area has a wooden shelf that is loose and nearly falls off if you lean on it
But mostly its absolutely totally freezing cold
We left to go to another hotel and shaftesbury apologised and said we would get a refund but then they renegaded on that promise when Booking.com contacted them
Dont stay here - there are lots of much much cheaper and better hotels in Dundee

Location, generous breakfast, amenities, welcome snacks & water, tea & coffee
It took 5mins for hot water to reach my room, but it was warned on the information. But nice and hot once you get it.

5.0 / 10.0
There was plenty of free on street parking. The bed was comfy and the linen and towels were clean. Nice to have a bottle of water and some snacks in the room. There were plenty options at breakfast and the cooked food was good. The man who served us breakfast was very pleasant and attentive.
The photos on the website must have been taken a long time ago, the hotel feels tired and old. There was cold air blowing in through the bathroom window, we put a coat at it but this didn’t really help. The bathroom was very cold even with the small radiator on, too cold to have a shower. We didn’t have any issues with the hot water, it just took a long time to heat up. The bedroom was large and was quite cold even with central heating and a portable heater. The curtains were thin (no lining) and faded, the room would have been too light for us if we had stayed in summer. There are no staff at the hotel apart from check in and breakfast. It has been a beautiful hotel in its day but now it just feels unloved and old. The welcome on arrival could have been better ! .

Booked a single room but as it was quiet they gave me a double room.
Room was spotless.
Good fried breakfast.
Temperature in room wasn't very warm even with the heating on. Perhaps its because its an old building.
Apart from at breakfast there are no staff around.

The Shaftesbury is a welcoming, old-style hotel. It has recently been done up and is quite comfortable, with very good breakfast menu, including gluten-free and vegetarian options.
It was a bit hard to find in the dark.

I’m not saying it was faulty but I couldn’t get the shower to produce hot water at 6am

We had a great sized room for 3 men in their 60s in town for a concert. Location was excellent - despite being an hour early for check in, we were allowed in to the room.
Only slight grievance was the standard of breakfast which was okay but not great. Wouldn’t stop me going back though.

Location works as I was working in Dundee and only around 10 minutes from the place of work. Breakfast is good and would recommend. The extra's made available around the kettle are a nice touch and in the shower room with the bodywash and shampoo etc.
The room was a little colder this time and the oil filled radiator too some time to compensate with such a large room.

The staff were very friendly, bed was comfortable and good shower. Breakfast was lovely.
My room was extremely cold, the radiators were on full but very little heat coming out of them, this made me feel very uncomfortable. Very unexpected, thought it would be cosy!
I understand that it's an old building but the windows were rattling quite badly, thankfully I was exhausted!
9.0 / 10.0
Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was very good.
Sound travelled in/out room (101) due to recessed cupboards spaces having bare sheet between room and other spaces. Some form of insulation could be used to help with these recessed areas.

I just needed a place for an overnight stay and it did the job. The staff was helpful and welcoming.
Location is good with restaurants and small shops within an easy walking distance.
Street parking right next to the building.
Breakfast was delicious.
The building is old and the rooms could use at least a refresher painting. Even though the staff did their best to clean the room (and they did a good job) there are dirt all around the walls and other places clearly for a very long time.
It was value for money but a few things did not meet with the minimum you would expect in any hotel these days.

Well afforded room, comfortable, warm and clean. A bit far from the centre, but everyone was lovely and I can't really complain.
A bit far from the centre.

Most things. The staff were polite and quick. Well most of them.
Other than when I checked in, I never saw anyone in reception. To order a taxi, a maths teacher, teaching the owners children had to come to my aid, the owners being absent - very much a minus. I am impaired. I made a complaint about a light going out. It was repaired - but, my belongings were tided away to far corners of the room, where I suffered pain to retrieve them. I would have preferred them to be placed on my bed in my absence. Could have done with being offered extra toast with my breakfast.

Good breakfast, excellent location, big spacious rooms
The shower temp was either too hot or cold, took a while for it to be a decent temp. Not sure if someone else using a shower made a difference.

Room was clean and comfortable. TV took a while to respond to the remote... But it was a niggle, nothing major. Ginger biscuits... Won me over with these.
Was a bit chilly in the morning. But I suppose this will be addressed now that we are heading towards Winter.

This hotel was very good. Clean and comfortable, excellent staff, very good breakfasts. Interesting décor - mix of furnishings and fittings - all perfectly fine and quite amusing - just a different atmosphere to chain hotels. It's a good place to stay!

Very old building. I’m sure they work hard to keep it clean but it’s a losing battle. No lift.
