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.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! Staff are fantastic, Manager upgraded us to the suite, we felt very lucky and fortunate! Spotless rooms and very comfortable, tasty buffet breakfast. Excellent location in front of the river and newly upgraded Inverness Castle and surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars. The best place we have ever stayed in Inverness!!! Thank you!!! <3

Besides the location, nothing is good about this hotel: the staff is very rude, the room was horrible, didn’t even had towels (which I had to ask for) breakfast was very poor. I absolutely do not recommend this hotel.
