The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is no lift so you’ll have to carry your bags (or ask for help). The place is conveniently located with a Spar store on the next block. The room was super cute and comfortable, but a little dusty. It’s an older building, so things are a bit older inside. I’d stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

Excellent hotel with friendly staff! The building is old so you will hear when people walk in their rooms and innthe corridors.

6/10 Good

Not sure I understand all the rave reviews… this was place was fine. It is above a pub and on a road with thin windows and quite an old building, so it’s noisy from all angles. The bedrooms were clean and nicely styled but quite small. The bathroom was spacious and appeared newly renovated but smelled strongly of mildew. Breakfast was okay but nothing to write home about. Staff were nice and kindly left us a bottle of bubbly as it was a special occasion.

They let us check-in early, offering us complimentary snacks and breakfast during our stay. The room was beautiful and cozy and every clean—would 100% recommend staying above this pub.

Our overall stay was great! The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The floor was pretty creaky, but we didn't mind it really. All staff were very attentive and polite. I would definitely stay again!

Lovely spot above a beautiful historic pub. Was plenty quiet enough, and the family room provided plenty of space and privacy for us. Staff was lovely and helpful. Do note that there is not a lift/elevator and that all rooms are up at least one flight of stairs in case you have mobility issues. Would definitely stay here again!

This is certainly a hidden gem located in Inverness. Upon arrival it was noticeable how clean the property looked. We were welcomed by a lovely young girl who checked us in and explained everything about our stay. The hallway up to our room was beautifully decorated and very modern looking. Our room was lovely, very spacious and it was spotless. The added bonus was the basket of goodies left in the room for us, my husband was very grateful indeed. We had continental breakfast as part of our stay and there was plenty to choose from. All in we enjoyed our overnight stay and we would definitely recommend the hotel to others 😀

Great room, location, and restaurant. No complaint

Very well kept room and bathroom. We stayed for two nights and it was a very nice room with a great restaurant down below which we were very bummed we couldn’t go more than once.

Great place to stay. An authentic Public house. Short walk to the train station and bus station. Walkable to restaurants shops etc. downside of the location is it’s a bit noisy at night.
