Friendly, helpful staff, good breakfast and comfortable bed. Doors need dampers as slam loudly, hotel needs a refurb. Had everything we needed in the room. Can walk into town in 20 mins. Shouldn’t have to pay for parking if you are staying there.

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.

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.
