No parking. It was just an old building! We wandered and found the lift, but still had stairs to go down before finding our room. The view from our room had a wall. Everything creaked. We heard everyone, walking about! Too expensive. It’s , not for us, again!
Property is currently under some renovation so there is scaffolding around most of the building but we never heard anyone working on it. Great location with a beautiful walk along the river Ness.
The hotel was great. It was very close and easy to walk to all different things to do in Inverness.from food to shopping to bars and entertainment. Would definitely recommend
Scaffolding out our window facing river
Elevator, then doors, step down, 6 steps up, double doors … hall to room.
Clawfoot tub w/ shower a bit difficult to use.
On arrival less than helpful staff regarding luggage drop off especially as a member of our party disabled!
En-suites were terrible condition including basin that wouldn’t drain, paintwork very poor
Beds were comfortable, bar staff friendly
Room was comfortable but not aesthetically pleasing. Window in bathroom stuck and as an elderly person was unable to close it. No parking onsite. Was not a very inviting hotel and feel it could fo with some modernization.

Liked: Amenities
Well located near restaurants and a major grocery. Good value
There were no towels in the room. I specific asked if there was a hair dryer prior to checkin. They said all rooms had one. My room did not. The place was dated and dirty. I picked an item up off the floor and it was covered in hair. Additionally, I chose it for the river view, but it was blocked with scaffolding.
My executive double was far from executive
Scruffy outside of hotel
Very dated
Room was very dated and in need of a major refit
Bathroom was very dated and in need of a major refit
Very poor quality duvet
Definitely would not recommend
The staff were wonderful so friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is an old building but comfortable and clean.
Older property needing some renovation. Fairly clean with pleasant staff and excellent location makes this convenient place to stay and prices not as exorbitant as the other places
Disappointed! We knew the hotel was an older hotel when we booked however this hotel does need some upgrades and improvements. They are working on the outside of the hotel and maybe some work needs to be done on the inside as well.
The carpet is old and furniture to. The bed is the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! We paid extra to have a river view room only to have it spoiled by a scaffolding right outside our window we understand work needs to be done but we should have been notified and not charged the rate we paid. Our room was so cold as we had no heat! I called the front desk only to have someone come to the room and tell us she would tell the manager, well the manager came to the room 2 times and we were told it could be a burnt out fuse and provided us with a heater that didn’t work so good and didn’t heat up the room! The only room that had heat was the bathroom however you can’t sleep in the bathroom! I would have appreciated a follow up from the manager but nothing and no customer service at all! We checked out and they didnt bother to ask how our stay was! We mentioned we had no heat and the response was oh my and would go up to the room to check…oh well to late for that we were leaving!
Hotel was in a great location. Staff was friendly. Parking was super convenient. However....hotel is a hot mess. Place looks old, worn and dirty. Room smelled stale. Looked unclean. Hair on sheets, dirt on walls, fan was full of dust, half the lights didn't work. While staff was friendly they were not particularly helpful. Since only stayed for one night it was doable. Unfortunately, definitely would not stay there again.
