In a quiet street with views over the River Tay and the park, the value-for-money Shaftesbury Hotel is close to the city centre, university, Ninewells Hospital and main shopping area.
Many of the original features at the Shaftesbury remain, giving the building lots of character. The rooms are all very spacious; each is furnished differently. The bar is large enough for a good crowd, yet remains intimate.
A wide selection of malt whiskies can be sampled in the Garden Bar. The hotel's licence is restricted to residents only, so you can be sure of a quiet, relaxing evening.
Due to the age of the building, the Shaftesbury Hotel does not have a lift.
