Hard to imagine how this hotel could be worse

Here's the hit parade of awful I experienced during my 17 hours there. - Bedbugs - Broken window in room - Window in room used as an ashtray (hard to explain unless you can see it) - Filthy window ledge - Ambiguous stains on carpet - General smell (urine) - No bin in room - Broken wardrobe - Curtain didn't close - WiFi didn't reach the room - Doors slamming due to poorly fitted closers - Shower door hanging off - The whole room shaking due to a washing machine above - including before 7am! Excellent location, mind. The only real credit I can give this hotel is that when I told them I was checking out and expected a full refund they agreed immediately. They didn't even ask what the issues were, which to my mind speaks volumes.

I had seen the other reviews imploring people to stay away from this guest house. I decided to give it a go. Pro- Great location, less than 5 minutes walk from the train & bus station. Lots of pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Pro- There was nothing else available for this price when I stayed in town. The other options were extraordinarily more expensive. The staff working here are very friendly. Pro- The bathroom did look to be recently remodeled with new fixtures. The room had plenty of outlets for charging my electronics. Con- The towels were stained. One of the towels had red, brown, yellow and black stains on it. There were some smaller stains on the bedding. Con - WiFi only worked in the lobby. I was on the 2nd floor and had no connection there. Con - I was there during the weekend and the neighboring pubs were playing dance music until 2am. Made it quite difficult to fall asleep. The mattress was also not very comfortable. Bottom line, for a quick stay this place will do. But for a long term solution, I would look elsewhere.

Don’t stay here.

Towels were threadbare and stained. Bed sheet wasn’t much better. They didn’t have any shampoo or hand soap. When asked, was informed they ran out. The window was stuck in the open position and could not be closed. Overall condition of the room was poor.

Short walk from Train and bus station property is right in centre of town. A few stairs especially if your are on the 2nd floor. Only had a single room but doubles seemed ok. Kettle and coffee in room and filling continental breakfast in the morning.

I don't know what kind of sh!t show they're running here. Strange stains in the walls, stains in the blankets, underwear left in the closet, the most hideous smell everywhere, no toiletries. Please, do yourself a favor and DO NOT stay here. Staff was friendly though.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The check in was quick with the facilities being well explained, but after that it was down hill. whilst the room was adequate the fiitures were not. The floor of the shower was extremely slippery when wet so much so I only used it the once, being afraid of falling and injuring myself. The bed whilst clean was lumpy and therefore uncomfortable, the window was stuck partly open and required some force to close it, and then open it in the morning. The bedside lamp was huge an wobbly and did not work. All these points would have been raised when I left but there was no one at the desk or anywhere in sight.

The location was as convenient as it could possibly be - a half block from the train station, a block from a great ceilidh bar, three blocks from the best restaurant in Inverness, etc. The WiFi was something of an issue - it was not available in the room, only in the lobby/dining room area, and slow even there.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in

So where do i start, when we got to our room it stank of cigarettes, noticed there was a sock over the smoke detector, to stop it going off, there was a fist sized hole in the front of the wardrobe, we didnt stay for breakfast, because we were worried we might get ill, very very dissapointed, it looked more like a refugee hotel, than a £75 a night hotel, on the web page it said parking, there was none, a pay carpark half a mile away was the nearest, i would never recommend this hotel it was awful

I checked in and went to the room, while sitting on the bed and felt something creeping on my hands, when I checked it was a bedbug. I switched on the lights and saw more creeping out from the headboards and pillows. i went down to the receptionist to request a refund. I was offered another room, I said to him with what I've seen i can't stay in this hotel because it'll definitely find it's way to my bag and follow me room. I have kids and family i can't risk it. And then i was told, I'll get my refund in 5 working days. Which i am yet to get after weeks of phoning them and contacting Expedia.

Visitor from Aberdeen

The room was fine but the room was cold the central heating wasn’t working properly. Went and told them and they came with a portable heater. That didn’t work went back to the reception and they gave me a fan heater. went to make a cup of tea no Kettle. No soap went back to reception for soap I was told to bring down the soap dispenser and they would fill it. only one channel on the TV. No bedside lamp.went to have a shower and the pipe fell off and the water was filling up the shower tray. Had to switch it off. did not get a shower. Told reception about it and they said there would be a plumber there on Monday but i was checking out on the Sunday. There was 4 flights of stairs the man at reception was wearing a coat and hat so the place must have been cold. The noise was loud coming from the pubs outside. The breakfast although continental was not as good as my last visit. I have been here 3 times and this was the worst ever. I will not stay again nor would ai recommend it to anyone. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
