It is an okay place to stay, easy access to the central and the shore. It is nice and warm and the rooms are getting cleaned daily. You can arrange a highland tour from the city which is great. There is a couple bakery and coffee shop around but our fav was artisan coffee on the corner for breakfast. We arrived after 10pm, we did called them to let them know. We had to pay 10£ for which is not a problem and we knew that we have to, but because of that or something else, not sure but staff wasn’t particularly friendly. What we also noticed is that the room key opens the entry door too so not sure if others coulndn’t come into our room if they wanted too. For sure one evening the light was on and our chair was in the middle of the room which we didn’t leave like that. But nothing was missing so we didn’t complain. We were at the basement and internet was barely working. Parking is hard to figure out unless you come on a weekend. We booked a private parking not far from there for a day which was about 7£.

The bed was very comfortable, had a nice sized smart tv, and bathroom with all the amenities. The shower in particular was amazing. A nice waterfall shower with very hot water. Area is safe, quiet, and near the bus stops.

This room looked nice in the photo but was in the basement down a staircase difficult to maneuver with luggage. The room's walls were marked up and needed a fresh coat of paint, and the door and woodwork also needed a coat of paint. The bathroom had nothing to hang anything on and the bedroom had no mirror. There also was no TV. The price of $227 for the night was ridiculous.

I was needing accommodation for one night only. This property is perfect if you require a clean, quiet place to sleep that’s close to the tram.
