Comfortable stay large room although the bed was too hard (my preference) lovely roll top bath in room. If any negative points it would be the internal doors which were very heavy to open

Great base for attending Belladrum festival without the stress of camping. Great central location, comfortable but dated rooms. Friendly staff. Breakfasts were reasonably priced & had lots to offer.

The location is great! However, our room (218) backed up to a restaurant and they emptied bottles in a can outside multiple times a night until nearly 11:30 pm. The front desk was aware of the issue, but didn’t seem concerned.

Great bed, noisy bathroom

The bed and decor of the room were great and comfortable. The bathroom plumbing made a lot of noises and there was a small leak coming from the back enclosed area of the old toilet with chain. It had the charm of an old building but bathroom and carpet need updating.

Nice hotel

The room was very nice. The shower was very good. I liked the old feel of the hotel. The breakfast was ok. Would have liked a coffee machine and not just an urn full of coffee.

An convenient property that has seen better days. The room and bathroom were clean and realativley comfortable, but many things were dated. The stairs were a nightmare (do not carry up your luggage). Awesome view of the castle and super convenient to downtown Inverness. No parking, but a cheap pay lot was not far.

Great location, little else too recommend

All three stars were for the location. The sheets didn't fit the bed so we ended up sleeping on bare mattress, it was understaffed, there was no option to reuse towels. The floor slants noticeably.

Lovely location, beautiful architecture and building and views outside the hotel. It’s a memorable place for me as it’s where I was proposed to. Only let down is the lack of / poor internet connection.
