The Tontine Hotel

The Tontine Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Tontine is a very old hotel located in the heart of Peebles. We checked in quick and easy and got to our room. We were disappointed with the room, it was very rundown and dated. Stained carpets, wallpaper peeling on the walls and musty smelling. The Tontine staff heard we were not happy and immediately moved us to a much better room that looked like it was recently renovated."
