Ideal accommodation for putting your head down

Perfectly adequate for my purposes. Room was pretty clean - particularly the bed linen and the bathroom were immaculate. Service from the staff was excellent - very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. If you’re looking for budget accommodation this is ideal.

Room in poor condition. Complete lack of building security. Door to room had clearly been kicked in by previous occupant. Room unfinished. Rubbish skylight blind. Electric shower with poor water pressure and ineffective controls. No breakfast to speak of, despite promise of ‘continental’. Cheap as chips but price reflects quality of stay. Would avoid if I were you!

We drove round and round as GPS said we'd "arrived" and there was no signage indicating Royal guesthouse. Parked and asked at a Boots pharmacy and she said she thought it was "on the corner." The only thing we saw on the corner was a Snooker/pool bar/club with people all standing at the front smoking and when we went in the lobby stunk of smoke. There was a sign that said "reception" pointing upstairs. Really loud music was throbbing all around. I am severely allergic to cigarette smoke and already starting feeling nauseous. There was no way we could stay there. When I called the reservation service said to go to the Waverly inn down the street and thankfully they had a room for us there. The managers there were very helpful and hard working.

Avoid at all costs!!!

Absolutely horrific!! Booked the Royal ended up in the Waverley Inn as we got there late?? The smell hit you when the door was opened and permeated through the place even into the tea in the room. Shower held together with black tape, mould on bathroom ceiling, curtain rail broke unable to shut curtains. Left after one night without the breakfast and booked into another hotel for the rest of our trip!!

The room hadn't been cleaned, excrement in toilet. Windows were painted shut. No staff there to check in, no tea or coffee in the room had to walk to Waverley inn to get room key. After complaining, we were moved to the Waverley inn. The room there was acceptable! Dont book this hotel.

I would rate my overall stay a 3/5. The property was hard to find. It’s not clearly labeled. Our toilet in our room leaked every time you flushed it. The hot water in our room took 30 minutes to heat up and had weird water pressure. I will say that the staff was very nice and accommodating in the fact that we got in super late after check in due to transportation issues. The overall room was clean but very small.

Vino trip to Inverness from Edinburgh

Good: 1. Location is in main area. Just to find the room is little tricky as no board. 2. Room iscomfortable. 1 double bed, 1 single bed room. 3. Nice breakfast and receptionist is good approach. 4. Dedicated car parking at The Waverley Inn hotel just opposite to this. . 5. Got hot water in shower. Needs to improvement: 1. Toilet flush set leaking water on the floor 2. Need tea and cups , sugar, salt at rooms itself. No hanger. 3. No mat in bathroom to wipe foots. 4. No lock inside bathroom door. 5. Central heater is not working provides temp electric heater. In summer fine but winter need heater in room and bathroom.

Hogmanay accommodation

Hotel staff was very helpful and very accommodating, we arrived very late and we picked up a meal from outside, the staff arranged a seating in the breakfast bar for us right away, very helpful this was. The room was very clean and also the beds spotless. At the time of visit, NewYear an eve we got the hotel for £62 for a family room, every where else was several hundreds. With this in mind you get what you pay for but we got a family run business that I would recommend no problem. Thank you staff at the Royal hotel
