    Very basic and in my opinion a bit overpriced . I guess that is down to Inverness being an expensive city . Staff and facilities meeted basic needs .

    Missing curtain on one of the windows. Bedside light faulty No lift. Close to night club with booming music beat from 10pm to 3am. Made it impossible to sleep.

    Close to the station which was a positive. Room clean. Bed reasonably comfortable.

    The television was not working. It would also be good to provide some hangers for the clothes in the room and bathroom. If possible, an elevator will greatly help because there are many steps between the street level and the reception area.

    The location is perfect because it is quite central and close to the train station. The staff were amiable and helpful. Breakfast was just right.

    Nothing to say. I'll stay again. Thank you. Lesley.

    I've stayed here 3 times it's a fairly good bed and breakfast for the money you pay especially for Inverness. I'd probably stay again. Staff also kept my luggage till my boyfriend picked it back up.

    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.
