Staybridge Suites - Dundee by IHG
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want the highest guest score in Dundee and do not mind paying close to double the city median for it. Travellers on a tight budget will get similar scores for far less at our other two picks.

This is our Luxury pick in Dundee, a 4-star hotel with a guest score of 8.9 out of 10. It suits couples and families who want a reliable, well-reviewed base and are willing to pay more for it. Family rooms are listed, and the property data tags it as pet-friendly, though you should confirm pet terms and any fee directly.
Skip it if price is your main filter. At around €162 a night in our reference sample, it costs far more than the Budget and Best Value picks, which score only 0.1 lower. Also skip it if a hot, well-stocked breakfast matters a lot to you; that is the one area where guests are less happy.
Location and getting around
The address is Lower Dens Mill, in the area of the same name. Guests rate the location 9.1 out of 10 and say the city centre, shops and waterfront attractions are a short walk away.
Our straight-line estimates put RRS Discovery about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot. Tannadice Park is about 1.1 km (14 minutes) and Dens Park about 1.2 km (15 minutes), which helps if you are in town for football.
Parking is not listed among the facilities in our data. If you plan to drive, check with the hotel whether there is parking and what it costs.
What guests say
The score of 8.9 comes from 2,266 reviews and placed joint first for review score among the 9 eligible hotels we compared in Dundee.
Two things come up most in praise. One is the location, with an easy walk to the centre and the waterfront. The other is the staff, described as friendly, helpful and professional, with a warm welcome.
The main complaint is breakfast. The buffet offers a good range of hot and cold options, but guests report food that is lukewarm or trays that run low. Listed breakfast styles are continental, vegetarian and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed, so check that when you book.
Price and what you get compared with our other Dundee picks
The reference price we saw was €162.03 a night, for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. That is about €324 for two nights. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
For context, the median in our Dundee sample was €86.69 a night. Our Budget pick, Four Points Flex by Sheraton Dundee, came in at €55.95 with a score of 8.8. Our Best Value pick, Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa, was €88.94, also with 8.8. So here you pay a clear premium for a small lift in score, plus the 4-star rating and the facilities listed: free Wi-Fi, a fitness centre and air conditioning.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Dundee. For the Luxury slot we look for five-star hotels first; a four-star hotel can take the slot only if it scores at least 8.5. This one passed that bar comfortably with 8.9 and the top review score in the sample.
It earned the place on guest feedback and location, not on price.
Before you book
Several things have not been assessed: room size, noise levels, renovation condition, whether breakfast is included and the cancellation terms. Read the room description and the rate conditions carefully.
Check the pet policy and fee if you travel with an animal, ask about parking if you drive, and confirm the gym hours.
