    No noise insulation - you can hear every voice and movement in every room at all times of day. Otherwise lovely spot.

    Easy checkin process, good wifi, comfortable bed, clean bathroom.

    My room (#1) had a fiddly deadbolt on the lock which was difficult to align. This was a bit hit or miss and on my second use of the lock was a bit frustrating. That said I never failed to use the lock. On balance I was contented with the whole experience. I guess some who didn't pay attention when booking may be surprised but you now know all that you need to!

    So here's the deal. This property is self-service so other than getting a code to get access to the property and your key you don't really having any dealings with staff. The little interaction there was, was efficient. The rooms, kitchen and bathroom are all spotless. You share these with other guests. The other guest I met was pleasant company but this is of course the luck of the draw. The property is roughly 30 minutes walk or a short drive from the town centre. It is I assume a privately owned former council house. It is at the start of an area of similar properties and not a scenic area (unlike the centre of Inverness) but it seemed okay. The point is the property is fairly close to town in an area with a reasonable amount of unrestricted parking (and one spot at the entrance that may or may not be free). It was also reasonably priced and as I said clean and the property delivers on these aspects.

    Did not understand that we would share one bath with 4 other people. The first night was hard because the other family did not understand "sharing". Not Kenny's fault. the second night's other guests were fine. We thought the "shared bath" was just between our 2 rooms. The only staff we met was the housekeeper. She was delightful! The real problem was not being able to get a response from booking.com about a refund from our change from 3 nights to 2. Kenny was kind enough to refund us in cash. Thank you, Kenny.

    The facilities were clean and comfortable.

    The property is a bit run down and neglected cosmetically. The front door lock needs attention, I was the first to arrive on the day and the front door was open. It does lock but needs fixed. The other guests couldn't work out how to get it to lock properly and it is tricky. Bread was in the freezer but don't know how long it had been there, it didn't look good. Similar with a number of cartons of milk in the fridge.

    I think this accommodation has bad reviews because bookers haven't taken the time to work out exactly what this is. This is not a bed and breakfast, guest house, or hotel. This is basically a 3 bedroom ex council house converted to 4 bedrooms and rented out, almost like an Airbnb. The owner is not present at the property but is communicative via messaging on booking.com or email. Access to the property is gained by a key held in a keysafe at the door. You are sent the code for the keys are on date of arrival. There is a shared bathroom, shared kitchen, and dining room. This is self-catering, although there are some items such as tea, coffee, sugar, and cereal. The property is clean and warm and gives you a bed for the night. Expect basic, and you won't be disappointed. The property is a 30 mins walk to the city centre. A spar corner shop is 5 minutes away, and a bus stop a 5 mins walk away too.

    The house is ex-council, I think, so the walls and floors were paper thin. Thankfully the other guests were not up much later or earlier than I so I didn't lose too much sleep.

    Room was cosy, bed was comfy, kitchen had all I needed, shower room was clean and the cleaning lady was absolutely lovely.

    One bathroom between 4 rooms is not enough, not a particularly attractive neighbourhood.

    Clean, decent sized and freshly decorated room. Use of kitchen and dining area was appreciated.

    The room had an unpleasant smell and we weren't lucky with sharing the bathroom - the other guests occupied it for a long time making it impossible for us to check out in time. Of course, in a small house you hear everything (doors closing, people walking, etc) but everyone tried to keep that to a minimum.

    Parking is possible on the street right next to the accomodation. The rooms are ok and the check-in was very flexible and easy. Also, the city center is in (extended) walking distance.

    I would put a corner sweet and a low table in the dining room to allow some relaxation before bed. Just a suggestion but it will make a very pleasant stay even better. Many thanks again George

    Room was in ground floor next to front door. Very inconsiderate of other guests making unnecessary noise in early morning and late at night.

    Quiet location in a safe residential area. Comfortable bed and very clean throughout the property. About 30 minute walk from centre which I did not mind as I like walking. Breakfast was cereal, toast and tea/coffee.
