"Charming hotel"

10.0

Charming full service hotel right on the River Ness. Great place to stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room and common areas were clean and well appointed. The breakfast room was lovely and the service and offerings were outstanding. One thing I would recommend is notifying staff when you book if you have mobility issues. We stayed on the top floor of a wing of the hotel that did not have an elevator. We had no problems but it might be a challenge for some. Otherwise I would definitely recommend this location if you are staying in Inverness.

"Comfortable place to say in Inverness Scotland"

8.0

The hotel staff are excellent and the rooms are typical for Scottish hotels. Do not expect air conditioning! Breakfast was robust and healthy. Receptionist Fiona was a delight. Located centrally and with a few minutes walk to Inverness Castle.

"Relaxing break with Mum and my son."

8.0

Handy, clean, pool/spa/sauna (rare) lovely, as was bar/restaurant area and the room.

The view is only good if you pay more to be on the frontage. Otherwise, get ready for bricks, bins, neighbouring properties and car park.

"did the job"

4.0

Nice view from the room, lounge/ bar area had friendly staff

Breakfast was poor, toast arrives before you have a chance to get your food. Staff were poorly trained, ie coffee machine broke and instead of putting a note on the machine they kept letting people try the machine and then did not offer to get them a coffee. Food item signs out and when you asked they then say `oh no we don`t have that, sorry` and leave the sign out. Spa staff need a complete overhaul, need training on customer service. More treatment availability for guests would be beneficial.
