Good

Check in was unusual, having to phone as arriving after 8pm. Given key box code for access to key, was easy enough.
Room small but clean and tidy. Heater in room was on which was a warm arrival but room became very stuffy and no window could be opened. Only stayed over night and didn't try the breakfast.
The staff were exceptional in providing a service. They were polite, courteous and knowledgeable. Leia was friendly and made you feel at home with her cheerfulness and bubbly nature. 3.5 stars rating is about right for this Hotel but it wouldn't take much to obtain the other half star. Location is perfect as its situated on the high st and next to the railway station.

I paid £101.85 for 1 night in the National 19th century hotel in Dingwall, Scotland. The room had a vinyl-covered floor, squeaking door hinges and no heating. The corridor floor squeaked as guests traversed it. The tap in the shower was inoperable at 11pm (room 122). So no shower then or before my early departure. Hotel manager refused a partial refund and asserted that I should have called the “night porter” at 11 pm when I discovered the problem and was standing naked in the shower recess. Very poor value, even if the shower had worked.
Comfortable hotel, outside Inverness in the village of Dingwall. Good restaurant. Nice room.

Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms dated but very clean. Broken shower and were moved rooms with an upgrade to a modern Studio. Unfortunately, electric shower was also broken.

Shower was not functional. Had to wash hair in the bathtub. No view.
Check-in was excellent and friendly. It is an old building in need of an upgrade but at such a low room price I felt that that was taken into consideration. My only complaints about the room were that it was very cold due to not having the heating on. The room took a good 5 hours to heat up. The other downside was the toilet fan that screeched very loudly but that was only for a short period of time. The only other slight let down was one item on my breakfast order was missed and I felt the £13.50 cost for breakfast was somewhat excessive. That aside, for the room price all was good.
