Guest Reviews

• Patti (8/5): Great location for a one night stay! - The location was convenient to everything we had planned in Inverness. The rooms were bare bones … but clean although the shower in our room seemed to be plugged so we were afraid to use it. The fun atmosphere in the restaurant downstairs was a plus and did not negatively impact our experience at all
• sheila (4/5): - Dat we konden uitrusten na een lange tocht en de bussen waren dichtbij en the indian ook. Lawaai en klein en oude inrichting.
• Jorgelina (8/5): -
• John (10/5): - Location, food, late check in
• Helen (6/5): -
• Tracy (8/5): - Great location. The bar and pizza were amazing
• s (9/5): -
• s (9/5): -
• Paul (10/5): - Clean. Secure. Comfortable. Very basic. Perfect for my needs, which was a ine night work visit.(Work, sleep, shave, shower, leave). Great bar and food. Room VERY clean and pleasant to be in. Some of the rooms would benefit from new mattresses. Also, ten am check out. I didn't officially start work until 14:30, so got lots done, and a walk round town between 10:00 and 14:00.
• Katrina (9/5): Access , stay was good definitely stay again . - Clean , lots of space . Bathroom damp, single pain glass heard everything outside and cold .
• Wren (3/5): Lovely staff not v good rooms - The staff were verry helpfull upgraded my room to a famlie room and kept our cases till we got the bus even after chek out The room was not verry equipped no telly no seats nothing just a kettle and a stool shower and bathroom was good but 170 for one night is a lot for what we got
• Abigail (8/5): Prime location, close to the train station and amazing bars - Great location, although it may be a little loud for folks who are looking to head to bed on the earlier side. Check in at the bar is very easy and the staff were very helpful! The mattresses in the family room are not the most comfortable, but we could easily make do for our two night stay.
• Stephen (6/5): -
• Anna (8/5): Central location and eco-friendly ethos was important to my choice of the Black Isle Rooms. - Great vibe, popular spot, rustic rooms. Mattress that I slept on had lumps that told me it was time for a new one.
• Barbara (7/5): The good was great in the bar/ restaurant - The location. The beds
• Oleksiuk (8/5): -
• Laura (8/5): - The location was great!
• Aurora (3/5): Würde nicht nochmal in dieses Hotel gehen. Bin froh das ich nicht mehr da bin. Die Lage war das einzig positive. - die Lage Das zimmer, die Matratze ( habe Rückenschmerzen) es stinkt sehr im Gang des Hotels. Insgesammt sehr heruntergekommen.
• Waller (9/5): Great location, would stay here again. - Location was right downtown, easy to walk to everywhere. Not the most comfortable bed, but to be far it was a twin mattress in a bunkbed.
• Shenagh (9/5): - Great location, great for a night stop over. Loads of breakfast places very close. Excellent being dog friendly. No parking but we found an overnight car park for our van for £4 rose street retail park. Only 5 mins walk. Would be good if staff could advise customers of this.
• Margaret (5/5): Basic room only. - The bar downstairs is brilliant with both keg and cask ales, wines and spirits plus a reasonable soft drink offering. Staff are friendly and helpful. The pizzas are good - we have visited the bar several times before. We had been warned that there might be noise outside in the garden until midnight, but it was quiet after 11pm. The room is very basic. No TV, no shower gel or shampoo in the ensuite. There was no way to adjust the temperature of the shower which was scalding. However, the towels were fine.
• Ferns (1/5): -
• Didier (10/5): -
• martin (1/5): -
• Anne (7/5): -
• Bethany (7/5): - Location and room size was large Noisy until about 10pm, and way to expensive for what you should get for the price.
• Aernout (7/5): Gezellig, welkom, volgens verwachting - Locatie was goed, wel rumoerig De douche liep niet goed door.
• Vazquez (6/5): Muy austero para el precio de la habitacion - Ubicación, buenas cortinas black out, tamaño de la habitacion y comodidad de la cama Para lo que pagas les hace falta tener mejor amueblada la habitacion, no tenían shampoo, acondicionador, jabon ni crema solo jabón para manos. Las toallas muy sencillas y solicitamos una habitación silenciosa y nos dieron una hacia la calle, al ser sábado los bares hicieron ruido hasta muy tarde en la madrugada. Realmente la relación precio vs habitación deja mucho que desear.
• Christian (5/5): -
• Pamela (6/5): Personale gentile - La posizione è l’accoglienza La pulizia non era ottima
• chiara (8/5): -
• Guillermo (8/5): - La ubicación,cerca de todo
• Thomas (1/5): Finger weg - So gut wie gar nichts. Die Pizza in der Bar war okay. Desolates, schmutziges Bett. Alter Teppichboden. Schimmel in der Dusche. Seltsamer Geruch im Zimmer. Ausstattung miserabel.
• Mike (8/5): - Clean and comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff and very good location. Only a short walk to the bus terminus and the train station. Room small and very expensive by South African standards. Still need to get used to the fact that the UK has a high cost of living. A shelf or two would help so you don't need to keep everything in your suitcase on the floor.
• CHRIS (8/5): Exactly what I needed — clean, comfy and a very friendly host - Exactly what I needed — clean, comfy and a very friendly staff
• Giovanna (7/5): -
• Camilo (10/5): -
• Maili Kongas (8/5): -
• Rossana (8/5): Ottima posizione - Ottima posizione per visitare il centro Stanza pulita. Consiglio per soggiorno di una notte per un tour on the road
• isabelle (1/5): Une nuit horrible... - L'emplacement est très bon mais c'est bien tout ce qu'il y a de bien à retenir. En revanche, le bruit dans la rue est très dérangeant surtout à cause de la mauvaise qualité des fenêtres, qui ferment mal. La chaleur dans la chambre est insupportable malgres une température très correct dehors. Odeur d'urine dans la cage d'escalier, les lits sont inconfortables, impossible de dormir à deux sans se gêner. Les oreillers sentent le tabac froid et le moisi, la douche n'est pas propre, des dépôts noirs tombent quand on se lave.... Bref. Passez votre chemin vers un établissement avec un meilleur rapport qualité prix.
• judith (8/5): - La ubicación Todo bien
• Irina (10/5): Parfait ! - Proximité avec le centre ville et le transport. La Cham re double est petite mais très confortable. Très chouette le bar en dessous pour manger et prendre un verre. Un peu bruyant côté terrasse mais cela ne dure pas longtemps.
• Graham (4/5): Just glad I was on a business trip alone as would have been embarrassing bringing my wife! - The location was great, that's about it! For a place to be where it is the décor and the facilities leave a lot to be desired! The room was very basic, the bed wasn't great and the bedding was poor! There was no TV and the coffee/tea facilities weren't good either! All in all not great value for money!
• Mark (7/5): Good value for a short stay. - Near the city centre and train. A little tv screen would be nice.
• Alena (6/5): -
• Paulina (8/5): -
• Denis (1/5): Well the long and the short of it was I didn’t stay in tbd place. I looked at it decided it was not for me checked out - Position and friendliness of staff The room was discussing. Stains on the carpets, hairs in the bed drink stains down the walls, dirt on the carpets, piles of dust on all the switches, internet was non existent and it was ac noisey as hell.
• Dominic (7/5): - Central location and friendly staff. Comfortable bed and sunny room. The filthy stairs upto the rooms filled with dread so it was a relief that the room was fine
• Bennett (9/5): -
• Sam (6/5): Decent for one night. - Centre of inverness, bar downstairs & secure cycle storage in the garage. No tv in room, shower didn’t drain away, extractor fan didn’t work, my digs the previous two nights were cheaper and had a tv in the rooms. Think £70 is a bit expensive for a hostel.
• Elizabeth (5/5): Great first night in Scotland, hosted by friendly staff! - Super friendly staff, great pub, location.
• DIEGO (10/5): -
• Panka (7/5): - Great location. We enjoyed the secret garden. The door to the bathroom could not be moved. We couldn’t open/unclog the drain plug so the water could go down in the sink. The environment is noisy.
• Willetts (8/5): Brilliant location for cycle event - The location was perfect The other customers in the rooms, carrying their bikes down stairs early in the morning. No tea or coffee facilities, room not cleaned properly,especially under the bed.
• Juliana (8/5): -
• Martin (8/5): Good value room, great bar and pizzas downstairs. - Clean, hot shower and great beer and pizzas downstairs. Good value relative to most other places in Inverness.
• Karina (2/5): - Ich hatte am 2 Tag kein Strom im Zimmer. Habe mich auch schriftlich beschwert aber es kam keine Antwort.
• chris (8/5): Great location,the rooms are not luxury but exactly what we wanted and brilliant bar and pizza menu -
• Heather (8/5): Great gem of a place - Staff were so friendly Nothing to report
• Mateja (9/5): - Beds were super comfortable! Loved our private space. Room on the surface looked clean but it was kind of dirty.
• Taylor (1/5): -
• Jeani (8/5): Excellent. - It was a great place to find later on in the day as the bar will always be open. It is very handy for Ember buses and for the railway station.. Perfect place when arriving late and leaving early. No need to disturb others.
• Ricardo (6/5): -
• Ivana (7/5): -
• Lucchese (8/5): Visita in Scozia - Un locale gestito da ragazzi giovani Il continuo sbattere delle porte all'ingresso del piano.
• Carlsson (9/5): -
• Paul (3/5): Checked in to room and it hadn’t been cleaned - Good location and price Given key to room and it hadn’t been cleaned they sorted another room but it had put me off, no shampoo as basic as it can get almost a hostel
• Keith (7/5): Could do better, should do better. - It was central Single rooms are next to the secret garden so noise is a known issue. A lot of running waste water sounds from surrounding rooms. The soap dispenser didn't work and no shelf or shampoo in the shower. The shower temp was difficult as the controls were passed their sell by dates and getting in and out was quite awkward. I run a holiday let so I speak from experience of assessing.
• James (9/5): - Location. Excellent bar and food on site. Great staff Norhing
• santos77 (9/5): - Da estadia, a cama era confortavel, o quarto bastante grande, na esquina com duas janelas. No Restaurante comemos duas vezes, as Pizzas e a salada eram otimas! A minha filha depois do jantar no Restaurante, esqueceu-se do saco com a carteira e o funcionario (loiro, simpatico) que nos tinha feito o Checkin lembrou-se de nos e veio entregar o saco ao quarto. Muito obrigado!😊
• Anna (7/5): Buona qualità - prezzo - Struttura in posizione centrale, ha una pizzeria sotto ma é quasi sempre piena. Pulizia non soddisfacente, scarico della doccia intasato e muffa presente.
• Vanessa (8/5): - Comfy bed Fire alarm went off twice through the night due to a fault and fireman had to get key from us until night porter finally arrived
• Sara (6/5): Basic but generally pretty good for an overnight stay - Brilliant location in the centre of Inverness, staff were all really lovely and very welcoming. Room was stiflingly hot even with the windows open and could do with another chair.
• Darren (1/5): - Close to the station Room was dirty , bra and wig under bed . Bathroom door was broken and no toilet roll in room. Realky couldnt be any worse. Have contacted property but stock reasone from them. Light switch hidden behind bed post not easy to reach
• Mike (10/5): -
• Nicolás (10/5): -
• Nicolás (10/5): Muy buen sitio -
• Adrian (9/5): - Great location, very clean, safe, and great value for money. A bit noisy on Saturday night due to the location (quite close to a few bars/clubs), but it was manageable.
• Ravi Vignesh (9/5): -
• Scott (10/5): - The location, the experience, the comfort and the ease of facilities. Bothing.
