Fantastic venue. Convenient location: a very short walk from the train station and right in the city centre. Food and service in restaurant was excellent. This was our second stay here and will likely be back.

The parking nearby was not bad but you have to pay for it. And the taxi drivers are very rude when you are dropping off your luggage or packing up to go in the small front lot. However, the lobby is beautiful and this is so close to everything in Inverness. So the location can't be beat, and the front entrance is stunning. Parking isn't bad, just costs money. The attached restaurant is pretty good, and the option for breakfast was nice. The room okay -- somewhat small but not a bad place to rest. The TV did not offer much in terms of programming.

Great Location in Inverness
This is an older property with lots of charm. The room was large, comfortable and clean. I thought that it was going to be noisy because of the proximity to the train station but we never heard a train our entire stay. The on site restaurant was very good. We ate there several times during our stay. The lobby was gorgeous as pictured on the site.

We had high hopes for this property but we weren’t thrilled. The property itself is gorgeous and well located to restaurants, bars and shopping. Our room was small but the bathroom was huge. The bathtub was great. Our mattress seemed thin, and not very comfortable. We had a few steps we had to log our suitcases up after getting off the lift. The lobby is gorgeous, but the property could use some updating.

Located at Inverness train station, this classic railway hotel with a photogenic lobby puts you steps away from the city's main attractions, including the Victorian Market, traditional music (Hootenanny & McGregors), scores of pubs, museums, the Castle etc. If you're in the market for outdoor clothing or gear for your Highland adventuring, there are 2-3 great shops on the very same block.

Lovely dog friendly hotel with friendly staff!
Had a great stay, in a beautiful large room! Great service and friendly staff! We traveled with our dog and there was no issues. Inverness is a beautiful place to visit and bring your dog! Only low point was that sleep was interrupted from loud outside noise as we stayed on a Saturday night, before running the marathon, (could be helped with double glazing?) Continental breakfast was disappointing. Nevertheless really liked the hotel and would stay here again, but maybe with earplugs.
