Staff is super helpful and friendly! Food in the restaurant is good. We had a room on the 1st floor and had issues with the wifi working. They happily moved us to a room on the 2nd floor where the WiFi works perfectly! The hotel is right by the river Ness and couldn’t be any more centrally located. We’re very happy with our choice! It’s very clean and the beds are comfortable!

No shower gel ,cobweb hanging from the light fitting ,kettle was covered in dust ,no internet at all in the room we were in
Staff was friendly and helpful, room was clean with a nice older european touch, right on the river, great castle veiw, food and shopping right there withkng short walking distance. I will book again next year.
This hotel was perfectly comfortable and clean, nothing to rave about but it was good value for money, and you can park for a reasonable price at the church just down the street. There is a milkman cafe right next to the hotel where we enjoyed a lovely breakfast looking out at the river ness and Inverness castle. It is a great location just a few steps away from the main shopping area

The family room we were in was a nice size & comfortable for our one night stay.
My room was freezing. The windows had cracks in them. I called the front desk and they said "we don't have any open rooms, any extra blankets, or any extra heaters".

The room and staff were wonderful. My only complaint was the TV reception didn’t work so basically had no TV at all. The breakfast was excellent. The staff was friendly. The room was clean and comfortable for the price.
The staff really made the stay enjoyable. My room had an issue and they found me an alternative which was really lovely and appreciated cause I wouldn’t have felt comfortable staying in the original. They made the whole experience a really good one
