Excellent room, good restaurant, great location. BUT—-inadequate hot water. Staff tried to help, said it was an old building and they are waiting for permits, but probably a new water heater is needed.

Great location in Inverness. A lovely historic building - be aware, no lift/elevator. Rooms were small but clean and comfortable. The main floor and halls smelled very strongly of curry due to the Asian restaurant on the mail floor, but fortunately the smell didn't penetrate the rooms. The staff were very nice - a young man stood outside to save us a parking spot nearby -he was a star to a weary group of travelers.

Very small room - must have looked over the kitchen as smell of curry in room all stay which wasn’t so nice. Room dark - would have been brighter and fresher painted white. Bed was comfortable

Room was very clean and beds were super comfortable. All of needs were met. Shower stall is tiny but water pressure was strong. Towels were clean and fluffy. Soaps were lovely. Wish we had had some help w luggage to room. No cleaning service on weekends. Location was superb.

The location is perfect! Right by Ness Walk and Easy access to dining, shopping, coffee, etc. The room we stayed in looked out over the walk and had a lovely view. There were wads of long, black hair strands in the places: the radiator top, the toiletry stands and in/on the hairdryer. The carpet was stained in places and overall dingy. This place has great potential, but needs some TLC.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was clean and perfectly located for us. It was quiet and away from the main streets yet close enough for a quick walk. Rooms, beds and bath were clean and roomy. The staff was kind and helpful. The only word of caution I would say is there is an Indian food restaurant at the bottom of the hotel. The smell of the food was very strong and even permeated up to the rooms. if you have an aversion to strong spiced foods then this might not be the place to stay

Shower was ridiculously small and bathroom had a very strong musty odour, we had to have the window open the entire stay. Beds needed replacing or at least mattress toppers, they were extremely hard.
