Bank Hotel is unsuitable for the elderly or the infirm, as the bedrooms are on three floors above the bar and this 'A' listed building has no lift.
There is a privately owned car park five minutes away from Bank Hotel.
Due to a smoking ban on all public areas in Scotland, all areas of Bank Hotel are non-smoking.

| Rooms at Bank Hotel were very clean and comfortable, staff friendly. Breakfast was good and bought a pub meal in the bar / restaurant in the evening which was very good, big portions and inexpensive. Excellent location, Would recommend booking Bank Hotel. |
