This place was okay for a one night stay. The staff was helpful, but not as friendly as I would have expected. The room was quite small, but adequate for our needs for the night.

The room was very basic and they didn’t provide any amenities. We did not like the beds as there was a futon and it was very poor quality . The breakfast was very basic as well , we were not happy with the stay and service at all.

Weekend stay

The menu was ok portion sizes could’ve been slightly bigger, not a great choice of menu for nine meat loving eaters only one pasta dish available, the hotel was clean and welcoming with good sized rooms however no seating other than the bed which was uncomfortable and mattress was sagging and needs replaced.

Came for the price, stayed for the bed, waddled out after the breakfast. Clean room, comfy sleep, tasty dinner — 10/10 would accidentally overeat again.

Very surprised at lovely hotel. Waitress at breakfast was very friendly and super efficient at her job. Don’t know why radiators in hall were on full blast at 21 Deg outside! Hotel room too hot.

Fourth stay at this hotel, but first time in the single room. But the bathroom was way below standard. The shower trap had not been taken out, the shower head was covered in dirt and mould and there were numerous long black hairs in the bathroom. A bit disappointed with the hotel this time and may not book again. Other than that this hotel is actually very nice.

Hotel and evening meal was very good, however the breakfast was a complete let down, not enough cooked food out and only one member of staff doing the serving.

Lovely hotel

Had a lovely weekend at the Adamson Hotel... Clean hotel , comfortable beds ,pillows perfect for me ...rooms pretty basic ,but adequate for what we wanted. Staff... when checking in there was only one person doing bar and reception deck , so had a good 10 min wait to check in But on the whole staff were very polite . Restaurant was lovely, ate in both evenings and service was great ... and not a single complaint about the food , both evenings it was gorgeous and value for money. Would definitely recommend this hotel .

Lovely quiet, refurbished hotel serving great food

I like to stay here whilst working at Knockhill as it is quiet, comfortable and serves excellent food until a reasonable time so I can get back and eat. Wifi is OK downstairs but patchy in rooms. Ample Parking. Well appointed rooms which have been refurbished to a very good standard, with plenty of power points etc. The only issue was the shower could have been better. It looked good, but if you wanted a hot shower it was less powerful. It is frequented by coach parties so if you timed breakfast wrong, that could be an issue. Worth asking at reception when they would be eating to avoid?

We had a great stay here. The young ladies were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and hot. Breakfast was good although not a big selection but it filled us and we left happy. Will definitely look to book again when in the area.

Third time staying at the Adamson. I’d been in this room before (I’m a solo traveller) and it’s very clean and comfortable. I know ‘rainfall’ showers are the thing these days, but they really aren’t great. Zero water pressure and even at the hottest setting it was barely warm. Took so long to shower as it was a trickle… Other than the rubbish shower, the overall stay was good.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Adamson Hotel. We were made to feel very welcome the moment we arrived, and all the staff should be complimented. Our room was very comfortable and our evening meal was the icing on the cake_ we would certainly add it to our places to stay when visiting Fife.
