Started with a bit of a hiccup after we checked in but was very promptly resolved by Kristy the duty manager, so thank you. This hotel has very, very helpful friendly staff everywhere, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious and clean, the breakfast had a good range and the location was very handy.

Tired hotel with excellent service.
The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The service is excellent and the people are friendly. The breakfast is an average buffet, nothing wrong, nothing great. The rooms are a bit tired as are the hallways. The brown carpet in the bedroom shabby. Its a long walk into town up a hill so we had to always take a taxi. Thus, the location is not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.

Friendly, helpful staff, good breakfast and comfortable bed. Doors need dampers as slam loudly, hotel needs a refurb. Had everything we needed in the room. Can walk into town in 20 mins. Shouldn’t have to pay for parking if you are staying there.

Very friendly hotel, conveniently located
Exceptionally friendly staff, good food and some very comfy chairs in which to enjoy a wee dram. Small but nice pool with toasty sauna.
Room temp was a bit on the high side, with very firm beds.

Dont count on the pool
We went for the pool. The pool was not available. They only told us when too late to rebook. Not even a free breakfast to compensate.

Unfortunate that at check in we were informed of the leisure facilities being closed which was one of the main reasons for booking. £6 parking fee also levied at check in. Pleasant and helpful staff. Partially renovated but still some areas needing attention. Need queen linen for bed not just stretched king sheets! Room was clean and a great size. Outside needs a tidy up. Good breakfast.

Easy stay in Inverness
Friendly staff, easy 15ish minute walk into city centre. Room was simple and bed comfortable. Felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Appreciated that they had a lift and could hold my bags for a bit after checkout.

Friendly staff and quiet location
Staff was great. Our room had nice shower pressure. The only issue I had was that there wasn't much to protect the bathroom floor from the shower water splashing and puddling on the floor. The room itself could have used a refrigerator, and more accessible outlets for phone charging at bedside. I would stay here again.

Sweet hotel. Room was a bit warm and the hall traffic a bit noisy. But staff was very kind and helpful and the location is great: a very nice neighborhood, walkable to city center. Appropriately priced.
