We spent four nights here as a base for part of a group tour and were delighted with all aspects of this hotel. We had requested a river view room(following a tip by a TA reviewer) and although the hotel did not make a firm promise we arrived to find that they had indeed given us room 039 which was... More

Stayed here as a last minute addition to a tour of the highlands & it was well worth it. The hotel is excellent & we had a hugh room on the first floor at the front of the building overlooking the river. We had our dog with us who was most welcome although she wasn't too keen on the revolving... More

This hotel has a great location overlooking the River Ness and walking distance to the high street and restaurants. However, the hotel is dated and our room furnishings and bathroom fixtures needed updating. (I believe they are in the process of updating rooms, so maybe we got one of the older rooms.) Other than that, no complaints. My spouse used... More

Glad we opted for a river room view room, the size of the room, facilities and outlook were great, the bathroom was fine, although shower curtains are hopeless, bathroom floor was awash after a shower. Room only so can not comment on the food, but easy reach to a variety of... More

We stayed here for 1 night in April. The location was fantastic, right on the river and could easily walk to shops and restaurants. Parking was a very small area, they had a "valet" but while reading the info in our room, the valet is not responsible to damage of car or items missing. This did concern us, since the... More

An excellent hotel, with lovely views over the river to the castle. Very central for shopping too. Only complaint is that my bathrobe disappeared and was not found.
