    Kitchen was dirty, sink full of dirty unwashed crockery, bread out of date, smell of 2 raw fish parts in fridge. I was unable to use it, so I never had any breakfast. Cups needed washing to make a hot drink Bed room Bed too soft, uncomfortable, and very warm brushed winter cotton fluffy cover and pillows Photos miss leading showed a photo of the bathroom but never said it was used by 4 different rooms Guest Walking around in only t shirt, unacceptable Will never use again NOT worth the cost !!

    Bed is made of old springs, not firm at all, leaving us with back pain. There was a carpet in my room that smelled like feet/wet dog, I had to take it out as it was unbearable but the smell stayed in the room. Sockets were not properly charging, there was definitely a problem with the electric installation.

    Location is 20 min from the center by foot. It was "ok-ish", rather clean.

    The door wouldn't unlock which didn't help my panics (but again this was addressed and fixed quickly!). The duvet was very thick for the summer weather and I honestly felt a bit unsafe in the area.

    It was quite easy to find, and my issues where addressed quickly and someone came fast to help me with the door, I was in a panicked state due to my bus being cancelled so it was a good price for a last minute booking! Also really liked the circle window! I thought it was a fun choice!

    There is no parking space, and it makes you worry about your car, which can be left on the side of the road. Unfortunately, my towel was stained, and I was not very pleased with it. We had breakfast included, but it was only milk and cereal, so we remained hungry. We had a double mattress in our room, but it was terrible. Every movement was perceived as in waves.

    Bus not very frequent at night but came on time. Bathroom lock needs fixing. Bedroom walls quite thin. Duvet had soft comfy fluffy linen cover on which would have been lovely and warm in winter but was quite warm in the warm weather!

    Right beside the bus stop to town. Felt like a bit of a shady area but felt safe walking in the daytime as a solo female traveller. The Merkinch nature reserve was 10 mins walk away and a pleasant surprise - very beautiful to sit and watch the sunset. Easy check in. Very friendly cleaners! Bed mattress soft and comfortable. Rooms clean.

    Breakfast items were not stocked up aedequately and timely. Washing was hung up to dry on doors of kitchen. One night there was a double booking quiet late at night and only because a kind hearted guest who was able to stay with family was this resolved.

    The bus stop just outside good links to town. Clean bed linen. Good price if you just want to visit someone and not want to spend too much time in the room. Television 😀 self serve continental breakfast.

    To start it was difficult to find. The stairs into the property are really steep. But once in we discovered that for four rooms there is only one small bathroom. In addition the kitchen was tired looking with doors hanging at a jaunty angle. There were dirty dishes in the sink and an extension cable hanging there as a trip and electrical hazard. The breakfast included was a very cheap loaf of white bread and some crunchy nut cornflakes. Although it advertised as a hotel, it is really just a hostel. There are no staff on site though other guests said that a cleaner comes in during the day. Extremely poor value for money.

    The only redeeming feature of this property was that our bedroom was clean.

    Really bad area of Inverness, no nearby parking as it’s at a bus stop. It’s up very dangerously steep stairs, not that clean I saw a number of spiders inside. Inadequate Breakfast. Overpriced- Do not book this.

    Nothing very basic and bed uncomfortable

    We'd booked what we thought was a B&B. Didn't get the email to give us instructions entry, room etc until we had wifi later that night after booking in elsewhere when we couldn't get in and no one was there. There was a bus stop out front so we knocked on the door to ask where to park. An email should have been sent with the booking to let us know this was a self catering place, not a B&B.

    No outside photo of property, this is because it is so ugly. A converted upstairs flat, so 4 bedrooms. Shared bathroom and kitchen. Shared by upto 8 people. Claims breakfast is provided but this is a loaf of bread, margarine and jam left in kitchen. We left after finding somewhere else to stay instead of 2nd night here. As we left an American woman arrived. We saw her later and she had left within an hour.

    Nothing, booked for 2 nights, left after one night

    I honestly can’t think of anything. I wish more tourists stay in places like these and support locals and local economy vs tourist trap, expensive, and crowded places that are owned by non-local people.

    I absolutely loved staying at Kenny’s place and my two-week stay felt like home by the kind hospitality of Kenny and Jamie. This is an ideal place to explore Inverness — walkable, private, quiet, relatively affordable, and accessible. There’s fresh breakfast ingredients every morning (fruits, bread, milk, cereal) that makes it easy to start the day. The bus stop is right next to this place. There’s a beautiful Merkinch reserve park just at 10 mins walk to go sit and read and enjoy the Scottish nature by the coast! Jamie keeps the place neat and tidy every day and I very much appreciated her work and getting to know her. Kenny is super nice and courteous and went above and beyond what I’d have expected from a B&B host. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone and will definitely return in the future here whenever I visit Inverness.

    Nothing I liked about breakfast. It was a joke. I bet there is no chance of a refund for breakfast
