Room was very comfortable with beautiful views of the castle. Amenities were nice and the hotel was in walking distance of everything we needed. Only issue was the drain on the shower kept clogging so we just needed extra towels bc the floor would get very wet.

The architect of this building is amazing. Beautiful building and amazing view of the river. It was very convenient for walking for everything.. such as all kinds restaurants, pubs, clothes, souvenirs, and even a mall. We asked for an extra blanket for 2 days being told we could not have one because the manager was not here to open the room with the blankets. ?? So on the 3rd evening we asked yet again, then waited at the receptionist desk to actually receive one. Older televisions, remote had tape on it and did not being too the room tv. Wifi was not relaiable

The location was absolutely a beautiful sight and great location, a walking distance to shops and restaurants. Staff were always nice when having interaction with them. The facility itself needed some TLC, but is a cute older facility.

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!
