They were the most accommodating place I have ever stayed. The downstairs pizza is fantastic! The staff was kind and patient with us Americans. Great area to just go out of your hotel and walk to many different food and pub options.

Super kind staff, room was up on 3rd floor, no lift. Neighborhood was pretty raucous though the actual pub noise was absolutely minimum so not too loud to sleep. Tons of places to eat in the neighborhood. Very central and short walking distance to both bus depot and train station. I would consider staying here again.

Good food restaurants are nearby. Room was warm with clean bathroom. Adequate accommodation for a single night. All noise stopped after 11. Overall an adequate night with helpful staff in a very busy bar! I did not have breakfast as ate far too much the night before!!

I didn't expect the daily cleaning, but the hotel cleaned my room on the second day. There was no TV and the water was not draining out of my bathroom basin. And it was a bit stinky (like food or vomit ...) in the stairs.
Staff was so kind, and there were some popular restaurants nearby, but it has a famous bar itself.

The room was tint but worked for what we needed. The best part of this place was the bar/restaurant. The ove made pizzas were delicious and the organic cider was perfect. Super easy stay on a very busy trip to Inverness.

We arrived late by train and the staff were very helpful despite the bar being very busy. We were able to order a pizza and have it delivered to our room.
Tea selection in the room was pretty good.

The room was clean and sufficient for us to basically just sleep there. The noise coming through the vent fan in the bathroom was loud. We got hot at night so had to open the windows…it was noisy. But we managed and overall would stay again.
