Spotless room, comfy bed, fabulous shower.
Room was well stocked with tea & coffee and lovely fluffy towels for the bathroom.
The decor throughout the whole hotel is incredible - amazing attention to detail and I enjoyed the little quirky style throughout.
Can’t wait to book my next stay in 2026!
Location of the hotel is excellent with easy parking onsite. Self check-in is convenient.
Room is comfortable and clean especially the bath room with powerful rain shower which is what you need after a long day:)
Will definitely visit again.

Lovely hotel/B&B
Unique self service system that was non-intrusive I’ll let you do things at your own pace
Great idea regards ordering breakfast the night before via the the QR code in your bedroom
Very nice breakfast it’s just a shame that the girl who was very helpful who served breakfast was so overworked!
Had an amazing experience, just stayed one night after a long train journey, but the staff were super accommodating when my train was delayed!! The room was small with a fabulous warm shower and comfy bed. Incredible breakfast the next day, wish I had more time here!

Room on ground floor looked directly onto car park. Room above had creaky floors and could hear water being drawn, a bit noisy sometimes. Bedding not very good quality. No housekeeping on short stay (we stayed for 3 nights). When asked lady who served breakfast if we could have fresh towels and replenish milk and biscuits, it wasn’t a problem. Breakfast was fine, served by a friendly waitress. Didn’t see any other staff.

Good location, short walk to restaurants and the river. Stayed in room 4, the pillows need to be replaced, almost flat. The breakfast is ample. You order breakfast the night before. It was OK.
Good location, walking distance to city core and a plethora of restaurants, great to have parking not to mention a nice breakfast. A delightful accommodation and stay.
We had the most wonderful overnight stay at Aye Stay! The staff were lovely, the room was perfection, the location was SO walkable and quiet, parking was easy, and the breakfast was delicious. Overall, this was an incredible value. Would book another trip to Inverness just to stay here again. 10+ stars, definitely worth booking if you're heading to Inverness!

Grossly overpriced! This place is a notch better than a hostel (and that’s being generous). For the price paid - this is not a value. Also, can’t comprehend how this has a rating of 9.8 (unless it’s on a scale of 100. Very disappointed with Expedia wrongly rating this as high as they do.
Very comfortable beds, loved the decoration of the room and very clean. Breakfast was excellent , just make sure to order it before 9pm, I barely made it!
Place had its own parking lot so that also helped in my case.
Aye Stay was just a short walk from the city center. The rooms were beautifully updated without losing any charm. It was chock full of character highlighting the Highlands and Scottish character. They offer pre-ordered breakfast for guests in the morning, which was a perfect start to our day.
