The property is undergoing a spruce up, but the room was clean, location was convenient, staff were good and helpful. We had a visually challenged family member the front desk made a note and assured us that if the was an evacuation then the hotel would get them out first.

Great location. Staff were nice although woefully understaffed. Breakfast was fine. There was no number on the door and looked like bug blood on the walls and halls and rooms looked like they were in process of renovation. Technically the room was definitely clean. However, we found and killed several bed bugs and my son was bitten quite a bit and turns out he's allergic to this insect.

James

Disliked: Amenities
No elevator, no parking (paid parking several blocks away), the room was tiny and no electrical outlets at the bed. The single pane windows let noise and cold air into the room and the curtains were falling off the curtain rods. The bathroom had broken fixtures and floor tiles. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

Okay for a night or two if you're not too fussy. The continental breakfast was good. The bedding was a bit musty and hadn't been aired but it was clean enough. There wasn't any towels or shower gel/soap so I'm glad I had some with me. Overall, a bit overpriced and not really value for money. I don't think I'd stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff appeared to be bothered any time you asked for help. The room we were given was the room requested but it appeared as though it was thrown together at the last minute. The mirror for the room was not hung on the wall rathe it was place on a nightstand and pushed up against the wall. Ther were several wall hangings in the room that were just placed on the floor against the wall. Their was what appeared to be blood smeared on the wall that I found to be a little disturbing and unsanitary.

The location was as convenient as it could possibly be - a half block from the train station, a block from a great ceilidh bar, three blocks from the best restaurant in Inverness, etc. The WiFi was something of an issue - it was not available in the room, only in the lobby/dining room area, and slow even there.

Overpriced

The stay was below average. No teaspoon to stir hot beverages. Toilet seat was loose and the wrong type. No soap available for the bathroom. Nighttime noise was audible from the streets despite being at the back of the hotel and windows closed.

I don't know what kind of sh!t show they're running here. Strange stains in the walls, stains in the blankets, underwear left in the closet, the most hideous smell everywhere, no toiletries. Please, do yourself a favor and DO NOT stay here. Staff was friendly though.

Great for a city-centre stay

Located in the heart of Inverness, a short distance from the river, it is a great spot for those seeking a city break with every amenity close at hand. Parking is best at the 24-hour multi-storey on Old Rose Street (£9 for 24 hours, £8 for every 24 after that - and less if your stay is shorter). It’s a five-minute walk to Union Street and the guest house. A flight of stairs takes you to the reception and a very warm and friendly welcome. Rooms are basic, the furnishings a little tired, but they present very well. The downside is for the noise of the gulls outside. They squawked in unison most of the night - but of course that isn’t the fault of the guest house. Breakfast is included, and it consists of a choice of cereals, yoghurt, crumpets, pains au chocolat, brioche, bread for toasting, jams, a choice of tea, coffee and fruit juices. For the purpose of our visit, the Waverley was very good and I would stay here again - but bring earplugs to counter the birds!
