I was welcomed by the friendly owner Denise on arrival and given the top floor room that was clean and warm with window views over the roof tops of the quaint little town of Nairn. Denise was friendly and helpful and I was happy to have a heater in my room, coming from ibiza summer, I wasn't ready for the cold of Scotland. In the area, there are many thrift shops, some good restaurants, especially The Royal Bengal where I ate that night, and The Highland Weigh, just across the road, a lovely conscious cafe where I spend a few hours alongside the fire, drinking tea and eating a tasty healthy soup, made fresh peanut butter and bought organic nuts for my travels. The Waverley was good value for money, easy to find, easy to access and a hotel I will return to if I go back to Nairn in the future. Thank you

Thought it was a proper hotel with a reception desk or the like but had to find way in semi darkness to a kitchen, where it felt like an interruption to someone’s dinner. Many flights of stairs through many doorways and halls. Heater wasn’t worth turning on, as it was only about 30cms high and though thermostatically controlled, kept turning off, yet the room was not warm and it was on the highest setting. A number of lights didn’t work. There was also a horrible smell along the staircases and halls. Not very inviting. Limited parking at back of a church 200 metres away. Breakfast was the one highlight.

We loved the fact that the Waverly is not a faceless corporate satellite, but hands-on managed by a lovely and incredibly hard-working proprietress named Denise. Clean room, wonderful breakfast.

It took me 20 minutes to find someone to get checked in. I wasn’t even checked in, just given the keys to the last room. At first glance the room was a bit musty and dated but fine enough. Fast forward an hour later- I got in late and was exhausted and starving- then I see a sign that eating isn’t allowed in the rooms. Just not allowed? Meanwhile I get greeted with the biggest spider I’ve ever seen in my life, the accent pillows had huge stains, and not the outside, but the inside of BOTH beds had a ton of HAIR MADE INTO THEM. A hair or two happens, I accept that, people are human and they make the beds. This was disgusting. I slept on top of the covers and got the worst nights sleep.

We arrived about 8.30pm. The lady on reception was on the phone and then trying to check us in. There was a large glass panel above the door that kept the room very light. There were no teaspoons. Only 1 bath towel each. The toilet was blocked in the morning so i had to retrieve a toilet brush from along the corridor. We went to the dining room at 7.30 as advertised for breakfast, half of the things were laid out, i then had to try and find someone to bring extra items. 10 mins later a lady appeared and was amazed that we would want breakfast at 7.30..as it was not ready we had to leave and buy our breakfast elsewhere. Very much overpriced, old building and not greatly managed!

There was no hot water, mattresses were old and uncomfortable, windows rattled all night. Mentioned that their was no hot water and was told to wait till 0630 in the morning. Really don't think you should have to wait for hot water, we waited and still none. The staff didn't want to acknowledge that their could have been an issue. Just made a comment that was insulting to Aussies.

Liked: Cleanliness
Positive: Excellent location close to station and town centre. Close to many food outlets. Breakfast nicely served. Negative: No obvious reception area - I walked in and around and then out wondering if there was another entrance. I then rang and met the staff member in a corridor to get my key. Bed mattress needs changing - right side just a 'hole' to sink into. No hot water in shower - waited 10 minutes and still only got cool.

See a few bad reviews of this place but i had no issues at all. I wasnt expecting the Ritz. What I did get was great value for money compared to other hotels in the area at half the price, a warm welcome from the owner and a nice chat, a lovely big and clean room with a comfy bed and nice fluffy clean towels. Breakfast was top notch. I would recommend this place.

We couldn’t stay here!
re Waverley Hotel. Nairn  We arrived at the property after 150 mile journey through beautiful Scottish scenery. The receptionist wasn't about and shouted down to my wife that she would be with her shortly. My wife was given a key to view the room and in shock came back to be to view it also. The room was very scruffy with a worn dirty grey carpet that one's shoes stuck to while walking. The furniture was 1960s vintage and very tatty. Included were two old rickety chairs with grimy cushions. Probably the most gross and revolting was the light coloured padded headboard with black marks outlining where greasy sweaty heads had made contact. The en-suite was manly modern. The smell in the room effected our nasal membranes and I have been wheezed since and my wife has felt sick. Neither of us could stay in what looked like a Doss house. We informed the lady that we couldn't stay because of the state of the room We couldn't find accommodation in the area this busy August weekend. As such we had no other choice to turn round and drive the 150 miles home.

It started out bad and only got worse. We showed up for check-in around 5:30 pm and, after climbing two flights of stairs, found nobody around for reception. After waiting well over 10 minutes, a woman showed up to give us our key. When, after another two flights of stairs, we got to our room, the initial look of the room was promising. The wallpaper and bedding looked lovely. The bathroom, not so much; the toilet had a pubic hair on the seat and the shower had hair in it. I was disappointed and immediately sent a message to the property cancelling my second night that I had booked. Had I not been exhausted from the long drive from Skye (and the many steps), I would have packed up and left that night. There was no "restaurant" as advertised, so we left to find dinner and enjoy Nairn Beach. At bedtime, I noticed there was a window above the room door that prevented a totally dark room. Next morning, bright and early, we went to check out. I explained to the same woman who gave us the room key the previous evening that I had cancelled my second night, not because of the many stairs, but because of the dirty bathroom. The woman asked to see pictures, which I had taken, and then said she personally cleaned all the rooms herself and those hairs were not there before I got the room, accusing me of planting them. I, of course, took offense to this and we "had words." I am a nice person and rarely confront people, but this was ridiculous. I would definitely not recommend this place.

Very old fashioned, beware of all the stairs. At breakfast there was only one person serving, it took over an hour to get an inedible meal . On one morning I asked for crispy bacon it eventually arrived it was so hard and dry that it could be broken rather than cut. The next day I asked for bacon and egg again but this time it arrived barely cooked and the egg was disgusting. The only redeeming feature was that the room was clean.
