The hotel appearance is consistent with the rest of the city. Wick is a bit dirty and industrial. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and food at the hotel was very good. We traveled to Wick for the coastline long hikes and that did not disappoint. The hikes were amazing and worth the effort to travel this far north.

The hotel is very convenient for the train station being just a short walk away. It was also convenient for the Wick Heritage Museum - a must for even the short term visitor. The hotel staff were very helpful, anticipating our needs. The room was very comfortable and the food tasty and substantial. Altogether a great place to stay.

Comfortable stay on a stormy night during Babet!
River view room brought it all home! Dined in bistro and enjoyed an excellent fish and chips and dry white wine. Friendly and charismatic owner was on hand. No parking but road outside pretty much for the hotel.

Location was perfect for us - access to historical info, groceries, and a lovely in-house restaurant. Perhaps a comfortable space to relax with friends that wasn't the public lobby would add a nice touch.

Apartment stay
Staff very friendly & courteous. However, our appt was a little tired tho clean. The bathroom needs renewing. Damaged bath panel, antiquated shower and just generally neglected . Our friend’s apartment was completely the opposite - just as one would hope for.
