Guest Reviews
- Lars (10/5): -
- Julie (8/5): -
- Heckethorn (10/5): It was a great experience. - Its location.
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Ruth (10/5): -
- Barbara (8/5): - Parking on the premises. 10 minute walk to town, 7 mins to Tesco. We had a street view, larger room. Plenty of working heaters to hlp dry clothes. Could have used a mimi fridge, but that's not the UK way.
- Yunhao (8/5): -
- Yannick K. (8/5): Alban and Abbey House - Die Schlüssel für das Zimmer erhält man ein paar Häuser weiter an der Rezeption, dies bitte vorab beachten. Ansonsten war der Check-In unkompliziert und der Empfang sehr herzlich. Direkt hinter der Unterkunft ist ein großer Parkplatz falls man mit dem PKW anreist. Zu Fuß sind es in die Innenstadt von Inverness ein paar Minuten, sodass alles schnell erreichbar ist. Das Zimmer war sauber und alles für einen kurzen Aufenthalt vorhanden. Wir fanden es ein wenig dunkel im Raum und Teppich auf dem Boden wirkt meiner Meinung nach immer etwas unhygienisch.
- Hanne (8/5): Excellent location with parking - Great location with on-site parking. Everythin in Inverness within walking distance. Contrary to other reviews, we found the room big enough for two people. People at reception were very friendly! Not the greatest bed :)
- Thomas (8/5): Had a great night in the room. - It really felt like an hotel room. It wasn't big, but it had everything I needed. They had their own (free) parking area, and their shower was nice. The location was pretty close to the center and the bakery around the corner was amazing. For me, the WiFi didn't work, but that could have been a personal problem. The bed itself wasn't the best in my opinion, but it was totally fine for a night.
- Jana (8/5): -
- Jessica (5/5): Passable - The location was great The accomodation was not cheap but lacked the same facilities and quality that a hotel would. These guest houses shower head leaked water and as a result had limited pressure, the bathroom light was non functioning and the tea / coffee making facilities rudimentary.
- Esperanza (10/5): -
- Correen (10/5): - Clean, quiet & convenient to City centre.
- Karol.Gm (10/5): - Es justo lo que yo quería, con la esencia de Escocia... Una ubicación perfecta, con fácil acceso al autobús que te lleva a Edimburgo enseguida... El personal muy amable... El desayuno muy completo...
- Anna (6/5): While I liked the room well enough, I probably wouldn’t book again because of noise issues. - The property was convenient and suitable for one person. Bed was comfortable and tea/coffee facilities were appreciated. You can hear everything everyone is doing at all hours of the night. My room was next to the staircase and you could hear people going up and down, as well as conversations people were having, and incredibly squeaky floors. After a long day of exploring, not being able to sleep was the worsr.
- Julián (9/5): -
- Lola (5/5): Kommer inte att rekommendera detta boende - Nära och bekvämt Väldigt lyhört och smala obekväma sängar
- VITI (7/5): Occorre spirito di adattamento - Posizione abbastanza centrale. Parcheggio gratuito. Set preparazione tea/coffee. Wayne alla reception è stato molto gentile, disponibile e ci ha dato utili informazioni: grazie! Camera con 2 letti (come richiesto) ma veramente angusta, priva di specchio, raggiungibile attraverso scale ripide e scomode. Il prezzo in assoluto non è alto ma lo è relativamente al tipo di camera ed alla assenza di colazione, benché sia disponibile il bollitore.
- Jack (10/5): -
- Krisztina (9/5): -
- Silvia (8/5): - Comfortable, clean and spacious. We had a triple room with a large walk-in shower, that was amazing! The staff was kind and attentive.
- Sarah (9/5): -
- fabio (9/5): -
- Guadalupe (6/5): Alojamiento muy básico - Ubicación Cama y la ducha, no había presión y estaba rota la manguera de la ducha
- Lenka (6/5): - Hezké, čisté vybavení Člověk vstával a chodil spát se sousedy nad hlavou, protože jste fakt hodně slyšeli jakýkoliv jejich krok. O půlnoci se asi na 20 minut spustilo vrčení nějakého přístroje a fakt se u toho nedalo spát... Asi taky něco (sprcha?) od sousedů.

- Valentina (9/5): - Good position: quiet area, walking distance to center. Friendly staff.
- Karine (9/5): - La chambre grande et propre. Thé et café dans la chambre très appréciable. Rien
- Gloria (10/5): GRAZIE per l’accoglienza - La comodità
- Mohd Noor bin (7/5): - the room is comfortable and spacious. The location is good, it's not far from the main city center. There's a car park provided. the unit doesn't have any lift, hence it's a bit hassle if you carry big luggage. the reception is in a different building which is about 150meters away
- Mark (9/5): Will come back. - Clean and well kept. Little bit a walk from the train station, but only a few minutes.
- Madiana (9/5): Great! - Room as described, comfy and well equipped for one person. Very clean! Cute building! Wayne -reception- is amazing! He gave me a very warm welcome and was very helpful! The mirror in the bathroom is too low. I really struggle to put my makeup on. I suggest adding another higher one
- Laurent (9/5): Très agréable - L’indépendance du logement et le calme Le lit est un peu petit
- Linda (10/5): Fantastisch! - Locatie was dicht bij het centrum. We hadden drie aparte bedden, dat was voor ons perfect. De bedden waren goed. Een grote badkamer en heerlijke douche. Ruime en schone kamer.
- Janet (8/5): Served the purport a one night stay - Comfortable, big room Although the bathroom is lovely the shower needs serious attention - it has great pressure but the temperature control is broken and I could only get scalding water.
- Samantha (8/5): -
- Michael (9/5): 2 night stay in single room. Comfortable and adequate facilities. Very thin pillow was only downside - Central location and off street parking Noise from room next door was very clear
- Isabelle (5/5): Mauvais rapport qualité prix , chambre ´odorante’ , aucune insonorisation,salle de bain minuscule - Top emplacement Rapport qualité prix
- Lars (7/5): Super Lage. Bett und Dusche verbesserungswürdig - Für diese Top-Lage eine ruhige Straße. Alles war wirklich sauber und ein super Parkplatz hinter dem Haus. Die Dusche quietschte am Anfang sehr doll und wurde mal extrem heiss oder extrem kalt. Nach längerem laufenden Wasser ging es dann. Das Bett war etwas schmal für uns und man hatte das Gefühl in der Mitte war eine Kuhle.
- Ian (8/5): -
- Ethan (10/5): -
- David (7/5): - The room itself was very comfortable and I had a great night's sleep. Thought it was a tad expensive. However, in saying that it had what you would need for a night or two's stay.
- denovan (8/5): Good last minute - Quiet for the most part Shower didn’t work very good and make a loud noise when on and the pillows felt like bricks
- Elizabeth (9/5): Excellent and would book again. - Location excellent for the reason we were in Inverness. Room and ensuite very clean and comfortable bed. Also the room I was in was very quiet. Nothing. There is no breakfast facility but we were away so early we didn't want that anyway, so it didn't matter. Kettle in room was sufficient for us.
- carolina (8/5): -
- Agata (10/5): - Świetna jakość za niska cenę, piękny obiekt w idealnej lokalizacji :)
- Louise (9/5): Great for an overnight stop in Inverness - Parking was easy behind the property. The rooms were big clean and comfy. Short walk to the shops and castle. Really enjoyed our stay Other people in the building were noisy and the noise did travel.
- Kirsty (8/5): -
- Liz (7/5): - It was in a lovely location Pillows were lumpy and hard
- Julia (6/5): Great location but felt very impersonal. - Great location 1 minute walk from Cathedral and river. Plenty of street parking. The booking is for one of several properties all near one another and you are allocated the room in one of those properties on your arrival. A bit confusing. Limited complimentaries - no toiletries and no decaf options on drinks tray.
- Georgia (8/5): -
- Thomas (7/5): Nice, clean and comfortable, would stay again - Good location, room was clean, good shower, comfy bed, I didn’t get towels for two days, after working long days, which put a damper on the stay
- CHRIS (9/5): -
- james colin (10/5): Ideal for my purpose - Clean, comfortable, convenient and value for money
- Beatrice (10/5): -
- Nina (5/5): -
- Walter Sergio (9/5): - La ubicación, lo limpio y la habitación era muy comoda. Se escuchaba lo que pasaba en otras habitacionas, es seguramente por el tipo de construcción.
- maracooja (9/5): - Great stay overall. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the city center. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything needed for a short stay. Check-in was smooth and communication with receptionist was easy and helpful. There wasn’t anything significant to complain about.
- Arnoud (8/5): Great! - Good showde & very nice host. The bed, it was too soft for me. But that different for everybody. 🤷🏻♂️
- 09cffad389777121174c9f0e43c93ba5 (8/5): Short stay - Location and staff good. Clean and pleasant. The shower from the adjacent room is very loud..Coffee/tea cups are very small.
- 239fec60564671b4ae09019aab3dfba6 (9/5): Lovely - Great location Need a community garbage bin outside
- 0ae4c0bcbb397008b7472bc895bc0570 (10/5): Great location, nice warm comfortable rooms, perfect for a short stay in Inverness. - Cannot remember how many times I've stayed here - it's very reliable - clean nice comfortable rooms and not so far from both the bus and train stations. I generally only stay one night because I have to head off early on a train. The stay before this, there was a minor issue with the plumbing in one room, I was immediately offered and accepted a different room which was excellent. Great staff/owners. Nothing
- 7f4a4cbf3f8970f906b5c5902a265db2 (8/5): - Roomy, comfortable room, plenty of parking and only minutes from town centre. Shower had great water pressure. Would stay again. No hair dryer and someone else's food left in bedside drawer.

- 081dc407a8f973c7a4fad46cd2082941 (8/5): Lovely but spoilt by the shower. - Nice room for two guys walking. Well located. 10 minute walk to city. 20 to Train station The shower. Sorry I need to state this. It cycles between Luke warm and too hot whilst it is on. Regardless of the setting.
- ac267514f89172b7b041219ea27f7da1 (8/5): Comodo per visitare Inverness - A pochi passi dal centro di Inverness, la camera era pulita e c'era un comodo parcheggio dietro la struttura. Il check in va fatto in una struttura separata che si trova in una strada adiacente. Peccato che non ci fosse la colazione

- 9ec82ddb60297387c13ca6ca03c3aaf3 (8/5): Top für einen Trip zum wandern in den highlands - Die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit. Das nette Personal. Leider kein Frühstück. Zimmer wurden nicht gemacht und nur frische Handtücher hingelegt.
- 3e6eecceaf967383f5d1a48d20f828ac (8/5): - Kävelymatka keskustaan, huoneessa hyvä tv (Netflix toimii) Sänky oli pieni ja siinä tunsi jouset.
- 019b1f4df78e7171e142de33ffb70f84 (10/5): Perfeito! - Funcionária muito simpática, quarto grande e lindo com tudo o que é preciso, lugar de estacionamento gratuito Localização fora do centro
- 9ce81880721d73cda507c7e6549df31a (8/5): - El alojamiento está muy céntrico. Limpieza muy bien. Los colchones de muelles ya va siendo hora de cambiarlos, se hace muy difícil dormir, porque se clavan a cada movimiento...,
- f92a05553544729468d3fd09c375baa5 (8/5): - Location. Good communication with owners. Car parking The bed was a bit soft for me.

- Marrietta (8/5): -
- Gregory (10/5): I'll stay there again next visit. - Coffee and tea available in the room but my room didn't include breakfast. There is a great bakery around the corner. Location was good. Short walk into the heart of the town. All the staff were very friendly. For what I'm used to, the bed was too soft.
- GermanChef_Kai (8/5): -

- Sam (7/5): Affordable and clean - Affordable accommodation with free parking. Good size room. Comfy bed. The lady at reception was friendly. A short walk to the river and the city centre. The shower, needs a new hose as it leaked badly and the shower wasn’t very good. You could hear the noise from the rooms around and people coming up the stairs, luckily everyone was early to bed.
