The carpets are wearing out. Some of the furniture need repairs Breakfast was large and delicious. Disappointed that view of Castle and river was blocked by scaffolding. Loved the big bathtub. There were many cobwebs on the ceiling.

This is an older boutique hotel with no stairs to navigate. There is a lift up the rooms as well as staircases.Yes, it is a bit rundown in the carpet, but everything I needed was clean and excellent. The staff, especially Jamie and Jiorja (spelling? Sorry, women!), could not have been more helpful in terms of getting taxis, answering questions, and generally being kind. Although I didn’t eat breakfast there, I did have dinner twice at MacNabs, the attached restaurant, and it was very good. When my room was cold, Jamie brought me a room heater immediately, and it was perfect. When I thought I had lost my wallet, they both tried to help. (I hadn’t.) The location is excellent, too, because although it is over the Ness River, shopping, even for those of us with walking disabilities, was very easy. Inverness is a small city, so if I can walk it with a rollator, pretty much anyone can!

A good stay, thought the hotel room is a bit dated. The premises were clean, the bathroom was new and renovated, thought the carpeting in the room itself could use a good shampooing. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located to everything you would like to see in Inverness. Tesco is just down the street for essentials. Pubs, restaurants and shops are just over the bridge.

The property was undergoing extensive exterior renovations when we arrived - which from an aesthetics perspective was not great but did not really interfere with our stay. The hotel was within reasonable walking distance of trains, buses, shopping, live entertainment, dining options, etc. One criticism was the stairs / lift situation. The lift takes you part way to your room (we were on the 3rd floor). Then there are stairs to navigate and narrow doorways to get your luggage through. Managing heavy duffle bags up stairs and through multiple sets of narrow doorways was a chore for seniors. There was no mention of that in the property write-up.
