Staff is super helpful and friendly! Food in the restaurant is good. We had a room on the 1st floor and had issues with the wifi working. They happily moved us to a room on the 2nd floor where the WiFi works perfectly! The hotel is right by the river Ness and couldn’t be any more centrally located. We’re very happy with our choice! It’s very clean and the beds are comfortable!

Super location for the centre of town which is just across the bridge with great views of the castle from the hotel, there is a Tesco store at the rear of the hotel, very helpful and obliging staff who go out of their way for you, breakfast and evening meal deal is very good value also !

Shower needed a deep cleaning as some mold was quite evident in many spots. Needs some minor maintenance.

3.0 / 10.0

The check-in was okay but we did not feel as if we were being welcomed, it was simply a clinical check-in. When we entered our room which was described as an executive double room with river view, it was really chilly. There were two electric heaters in the room and only one, the smallest, worked. We had to borrow a portable heater from reception to take the chill of the room. The river view was impeded by the constant condensation on the single glazed windows. McNab's bar was very uninviting so we were only in it for a brief time. The breakfast was a self service buffet, which I would rate as good. There were very few staff members around for us to single out anyone for merit. Any contact we had with staff members was limited. The hotel does not have parking but there is parking nearby for £5.00 per day. The hotel was adequate for the purpose of our visit but I would not rush back.

Breakfast and service was a disgrace food was cold and over cooked staff didn’t care

1.0 / 10.0

Breakfast used very low quality ingredients, was luke warm and not fresh. We couldn’t eat it, so it was a waste of money. The staff were rude and unprofessional. In one of our rooms there was an explosion one of the electrical outlets, and all the socket in the room blew. I went to tell the receptionist and he shrug his shoulders and said ‘what can I do, there are no other rooms left, if it’s not still sparking then I’m sure it will be okay. So we had no power. I told him he just needed to flip the fuse and he said ‘if I start touching them, other people might not have power. Rooms were very dated, run down and not clean. The hot water took about 20 minutes of running before it went hot. Shower gel/ shampoo and hand wash were all the same, very low quality products. Rooms were dark and dingy and smelt like cooking. Other areas of the hotel were a mess. It’s a real shame because with a bit of care this hotel could have real potential because of its historical significance. Staff need to be retrained in the basics of hospitality, and the electrics need looked at too, as this place is really not safe! It is truly the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at.

5.0 / 10.0

A very convenient location next to the river. Close to everything. Charming Victorian hotel. Carpets need to be replaced, but generally the place was in good shape. Clean. Breakfast was classic buffet, nothing exciting, but plenty to eat and everything tasted fine. Dinner was pretty good. However, there are plenty of restaurants and pubs in the area, so I am guessing many guests are not having dinner at the hotel. The bar (in the restaurant) had a few draft beers and plenty of liquor choices. The staff members were all VERY friendly and helpful.

5.0 / 10.0

As always. great stay and great service . Only gripe would be the breakfast . some items sitting out for a long time , dried out , and long wait for items that had ran out . Also the coffee / tea situation has changed and the coffee was awful . Would probably do room only next time

Breakfast was poor. Would not recommend.

2.0 / 10.0

Needs so very necessary renovations. I had a space heater in my room, which I used when there for 2 nights 2 week ago. Apparently the heating system doesn't work. I booked because it had a restaurant on site. The first night it was closed for everyone but a tour group. The second night it was just closed. You could eat in the bar, but service was non-existent. There is a grocery store around the corner so I had a sandwich, second night I got a pizza , which was good from a place opposite the grocery. Not what I envisioned I would be doing after long days in the Highlands.

Was fine for one night...but not great. Run down hotel in need of an upgrade. We had mould in the bathroom, the mattress was very uncomfortable and generally just felt like a very tired room needing a good clean - including getting rid of the cobwebs! Breakfast was okay...again not great. TV didn't work and the doors in the corridor made it a noisy night.

Beautiful and comfortable stay with very kind hosts. Delicious cooked to order breakfast

4.0 / 10.0

Friendly staff, very clean rooms. Substantial breakfast can be purchased with room. Hotel is dated. Note on tub that it was slippery and needed a bathmat, but there was no mat and no handrail. Rooms at the front, overlooking the river are larger, but are over the bar so there is the thump of music late into the night. Not worth the extra cost. Flat foam pillows, not particularly comfortable.

We needed an overnight and this hotel was perfect. On the river, close to many things... pubs, restaurants, river, activity pickup, Tesco. You couldn't pick a better location

4.0 / 10.0

First of all, I have no problems with old buildings. It has really a certain charme. My problem is, if important things like the shower head in the bath are not adjustable in the high, because it was broken and a very cheap solution. Don't understand why its not possible to install better quality. It also was not clean, found hairs everywhere in the bath and I really not searched for it. All in all, I can't recommend it, because the price is too high for what you get.

1.0 / 10.0

A run down hotel. The place just needs some money spent on it and I'm sure it could be a nicer place to stay. For instance their 'lounge' looks like something out of a post apocalyptic movie. Also there was little to no hot water available in our room. The manager on hand couldn't cope when I queried the issue, no anger from my part, just questions, and they got incredibly flustered...so I just left it. There were no other rooms available. For the price, really not a very nice experience.

4.0 / 10.0

Generally very tired. I was expecting much more for £200+ a night room. Our room with a view of the river had numerous cracked tiles on the bathroom floor, tired fixtures and fittings. Wallpaper peeling back, etc The cups in the breakfast room had rings round the inside, the area round the toaster was grubby and the air con units caked in dust. Staff on reception didn’t go out of their way to explain where the key areas are and on leaving not interested in asking about our stay, I’m sure they already knew the answer.

Very old hotel and could us some upgrades. The location was the nicest part of this hotel. The staff was not that friendly and the breakfast was not very good. Would not recommend this hotel.
