The hotel is well situated for getting about seeing the sights. It is in need of some TLC but having said that, the rooms are all clean. The staff are extremely friendly and can’t do enough to help.

Loved the classical style of this fine Victorian era hotel. We enjoyed the en suite room with a very comfortable bed and fantastic view of the castle and river. The photographs of people and days long gone that lined the hallways and stairways were very interesting indeed and definitely added to the essence of the hotel. Staff were great, very helpful and friendly. Lots to like at this well located hotel. Definitely would recommend for a comfortable stay in Inverness.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very dirty, smelly, cold, old, and dark. While it looks nice from the outside, the inside is disappointing. In the morning as we were leaving, we saw staff handling clean sheets that had been left directly on the floor, without any bags. The location is good, but unfortunately, that’s the only positive.
