central location, dinner portions were good size and well presented. relaxing public seating and dining areas.

car park at rear was down a steep hill. if advised in advance would have dropped of luggage and passengers at front door. Would have appreciated a bottle of drinking water in room. While breakfast menu selection was good. Were disappointed when selecting just bacon and egg from the large selection we received a large plate with one egg and one rasher of bacon. We were expecting at least 2 rashers. This looked mean. Feel the waiting staff should have asked if we wanted 2 rashers or 2 eggs.

A traditional hotel where customers take priority. Every member of staff was cheerie, polite, and very helpful. Nothing was a problem for them. Breakfasts were freshly made and well cooked. It was worth the little extra to have the lovely view of the Tweed River every morning.The room was cleaned daily, and all linen changed if you required.

Some of the bedroom furniture was a little old fashioned, and bedroom lamps were extremely hard to read by. But that did little to detract from the well-appointed room/bathroom and extremely comfortable beds.

Great fresh cooked breakfast with cereal, toast, juice, fruit etc on a eat as much as you want buffet service. The room was excellent for the price with a walk in double shower and sizeable bathroom and wardrobe with hangers for say 8 garments which was plenty for our stay. Hotel was fine, nice spacious dining room, lounge and room with quite modern decor.

At the time of our stay there were a group of males seemingly on a shoot and whether it was them or somebody else but some males were quite rowdy in the corridor at the back of the hotel near to our room some of which either were next door or across the landing based on the slamming of the room door at 4.00AM. Can't hold the hotel responsible for this and it can happen anywhere but some people are just downright inconsiderate.

Food was fabulous from.fresh cooked breakfast to main dinner choices. Cocktails were superb and the staff were professional courteous and served with a smile

The decor in some parts needed upgrading and maintenance on the woodwork is in serious need for painting. Lift required to 2nd floor... never asked if we had health issues and 50+ steps were not expected as clientele were mostly elderly. Room was almost attic type with angled ceilings but no warning signs but fab linen towels etc. Car park at rear was downhill from reception and another 60 + steps from.rear access door via 2 floors to road level and reception....

I'm happy to give a positive review of the Tontine. It's a spacious, traditional hotel in a welcoming small borders town on the Tweed, and you get a friendly welcome from the smartly turned-out staff. I ate in the hotel and the menu was excellent and affordably priced, and the large restaurant has an impressive view of the rolling lowland hills through high arched windows. Lovely, when it's not raining. The room itself was more adequate rather than de-luxe, but that was all I required and does not detract from my very good impression. Would gladly stay again.

The long and mazy trek to rooms 15+16! No, not a serious complaint.

Staff very helpful and went out of their way to help. Would stay again. Breakfast good, plenty of choice. Very clean. Slept well, comfortable. Would recomend Prince of India Diner (just fancied an Indian meal) located opposite hotel. Parking great.

Room 10 had no lift except to sub floor so had to carry bags up/downstairs. Room had view of flat roof and partial view of river walk. Shower had no tray for holding own/hotel's toiletries. Although hotel toiletries were green, awkward to use.

The location was beautiful and very dog friendly. Behind the hotel is a very scenic river with lovely walks. spotlessly clean. The reception staff were also very lovely and helpful. As were the waitresses when taking orders and serving food. Food great too. Value for money. The specials menu at night was a little bit different too than run of the mill pub food. Hotel was spotless, lovely decor, huge beds.

Loved it all, will definitely be returning.

The Tontine is a lovely hotel, very welcoming and the staff were great, very helpful, my partner used the spa facilities of their sister hotel just out of town while I had a meeting, which was arranged by the reception staff. We had a wonderful dinner, the food was terrific with lovely dinning room and bar area. The rooms are a little dated but very comfortable and pleasant, breakfast was excellent too. I have stayed in the Tontine many times over the years and I have to say it is better than ever now, it was a lovely visit once again.

Struggled a bit for parking at first attempt but got that sorted, other than that there was nothing at all to cause an problem.

Location, location, location! On high street close to restaurants, shops, river Tweed, and bud stop. Corner room overlooking the street was roomy and comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious as was our fish and chips supper one night.

Booking dot com list lift access. They only have a lift going on floor down, which is where their accessible rooms are. Clarification of this would be good as we expected to have a lift so we would have to carry our bags up the stairs.

Breakfast so good. Lots of choice &very tasty! But from walking in we where greeted by a really cheerful smiling reception Laura. &took trouble to find out the answers to our questions about travel times for next day! Very impressed!

We couldn't open window for fresh air! in our room as it appeared to be stuck! Glad there was an electric fan available in cupboard for us to use. But that was the only thing negative.
