Easy check in. Quick walk into the center of Inverness but far enough out to be quiet. Good parking. Very friendly staff and a good breakfast.

Started with a bit of a hiccup after we checked in but was very promptly resolved by Kristy the duty manager, so thank you. This hotel has very, very helpful friendly staff everywhere, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious and clean, the breakfast had a good range and the location was very handy.

The hotel is well located in walking distance of the city centre and some nice places to eat. The rooms are small and comparatively expensive but this is the UK where everything is over-priced. The restaurant is nice and the staff super helpful- they made sure I was able to use a large, thickly carpeted room to do a 90 minute yoga session uninterrupted.

Very friendly hotel, conveniently located
Exceptionally friendly staff, good food and some very comfy chairs in which to enjoy a wee dram. Small but nice pool with toasty sauna.
Room temp was a bit on the high side, with very firm beds.

The rooms were very dated. No charging outlets for electronics. Our TV was the size of a small computer monitor.
The rooms were not indicative of the price charged.
Having said that the staff were amazing and we loved the lounge.

Friendly staff and quiet location
Staff was great. Our room had nice shower pressure. The only issue I had was that there wasn't much to protect the bathroom floor from the shower water splashing and puddling on the floor. The room itself could have used a refrigerator, and more accessible outlets for phone charging at bedside. I would stay here again.

Easy stay in Inverness
Friendly staff, easy 15ish minute walk into city centre. Room was simple and bed comfortable. Felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Appreciated that they had a lift and could hold my bags for a bit after checkout.

Sweet hotel. Room was a bit warm and the hall traffic a bit noisy. But staff was very kind and helpful and the location is great: a very nice neighborhood, walkable to city center. Appropriately priced.
