    Our room was a bit shabby. The breakfast was continental with no hot options available.

    It’s very centrally located in the heart of Inverness just minutes from the train station.

    Shower drain appeared to be blocked and water was backing up.

    Great location, in the city centre and close to the both train and bus station. I arrived late and check in was made very easy by simply calling a number for information on how to access my room key.

    Room had a particular smell. Duvet covers were torn. Booking.com over charged, at best it should have been only 50-70£ per night stay.

    Location is close to railway station. Close to restaurant. Good breakfast.

    Like many others have said, you get what you pay for. The bed was very poor. No toiletries provided. Loud at night given the location.

    Great location in the heart of downtown. The staff were very kind.

    The shower drain was blocked. There were no shampoo and shower gel. The bedsheets had black marks on them. The room was too noisy. There was no fan that made the room really hot. Also, there was no fridge.

    The room was OK. It was on the 2nd floor though, which made it hard to carry my luggage, so I asked for assistance. The male receptionist was very polite and helpful.

    The heater could not be adjusted, and one of the shower room near our room was out. If small area selves or hooks are available in bathroom, that would make life much easier.

    Location is excellent, and the place is generally clean and comfortable. Breakfast is also fine and seating area is comfortable.

    In my single room; there was a hole punched in the bathroom door, no soap supplied in bathroom, toilet seat came off, no hook to hang your jacket and nowhere to hang clothes, I cleaned loads of cobwebs from ceiling above the bed, lampshade was split and there were dirty marks on the bed linen.

    This GH is very central, great location. Continental breakfast, provided, was really good. Lots to choose from, well laid out, very fresh. Comfortable bed and warm room.

    Very Disappointing Stay Not To Be Repeated

    Unfortunately there was no disabled access and my husband really struggled with all the stairs. Both recommendations made by reception staff proved to be rubbish. We asked if we could order in Chinese from the restaurant downstairs only to find out they were closed, so we asked for a fish and chip shop within easy walking distance for my husband, This also turned out to be closed when we got there! We eventually found a small kebab shop and least got a meal! Back to our room, no TV working, very tired-looking decor, very shabby, bed not comfortable and unable to use the shower because the door was off it's runners - probably just as well because it was not at all clean, so still wouldn't have used anyway!!!

    Not much really. For what was once a lovely building , I afraid the 'old girl' needs a lot of tlc. The staff were lovely and very helpful, but they could only work within their means. Breakfast was continental very fresh and plenty of it, but would really have preferred a good cooked breakfast. When we had problems with TV, the staff went out of their way to solve them.

    Although not the fault of the hotel the seagulls and pigeons were a right pain with the seagulls especially squawking all through the night. Again, not the fault of the hotel but the breakfast choice was limited, I was leaving before the normal time for the breakfast to start so it's not really a fair representation of what's on offer

    The hotel was just a stones throw away from the station.

    The room I was given overlooked the Main Street and was opposite a busy pub and with just single glazing windows the noise was very loud until the pub shut at 2am And it need to put that there is no available parking at the hotel as I was assured it would be ok to park across from the hotel in the loading bays as long as I was away before 8am But I left at 7.30 am and had a parking ticket that had been put on my car at 20.15 I only arrived at the hotel at 19.45 when I approached hotel about it they just said that’s unlucky needless to say it’s a shame but I won’t be using this place again

    It had a Chinese restaurant inside
