Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms had a great view of the castle and were clean and comfortable, there were some issues with the tiny toilet and a falling tap in the sink. The service, although friendly and polite, was disrupted by late-night noise from glass bottle disposal. The location was excellent for exploring the town center on foot, but it's essential to book a room with a view to avoid facing a busy side road. The dining experience was average with lukewarm food and coffee, but the Mexican dishes were enjoyable. Overall, the hotel offers a good stay with room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel provided a clean and quiet stay with prompt response to requests such as an additional quilt. The rooms met my requirements with a nice cosy bed and a choice of bath or shower, although cleanliness could be improved in certain areas.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but unfortunately, they were too hot with no air conditioning, which made it a bit uncomfortable. The service was exceptional, with the staff being lovely and very helpful. The location was superb, right by the river, making it convenient to explore the town center easily. However, it was a bit noisy at times. The dining experience was good overall, but some items were not served hot. The facilities were pleasant and clean.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were unique and full of character, just what I was looking for. The portable oil radiator made it cozy, and the room had everything I needed - a large TV, comfy chair, and a super comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was great with plenty of hot and cold food choices, keeping me satisfied.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was absolutely magnificent, right on the river in the middle of town, making it easy to explore Inverness. However, the rooms were a bit cramped and the service was lacking in some areas. The dining experience was unfortunately subpar, but the hotel facilities were decent.
The hotel is in a convenient location, close to the city center and River Ness, offering comfortable rooms and friendly service. However, the outdated decor and unfriendly receptionist were disappointing. The dining options were average, but the regional products were a nice touch.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the standards were amazing, the room location was a letdown due to its proximity to a block of flats. The service was polite but there were some issues with room quality. The location was convenient with plenty of nearby restaurants, but a room with a view is recommended. The dining experience was underwhelming, and the facilities showed signs of neglect.
The hotel location is superb, right by the river and within easy reach of all facilities. The rooms, while feeling a bit claustrophobic, are otherwise clean and not too bad. The dining was nice looking but could have been hotter with a price of £98 per night and no breakfast included. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel was ideally located in Inverness, with a great view of the river and close to the city center. The rooms were a good size, warm, and comfortable, but cleanliness could be improved. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were occasional delays at the reception. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with limited options but friendly staff. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement in cleanliness and dining variety.
The hotel's location is superb, right in front of River Ness and close to shops and restaurants. The rooms need upgrading, especially the bathroom & heating, though the shower is excellent. The service was friendly and helpful. The dining experience was just okay with room for improvement. Overall, it's a convenient spot near the city center with some room for enhancement in facilities.
