No frills but convenient.

This is a great choice if you just need a place to sleep because you're going to be gone all day doing tourist stuff. Good location, good value, nice amount of space in the room. There was no t.v. (which is fine, just unusual) and the bed wasn't especially luxurious. One of the light fixtures worked only occasionally. I would stay there again with no hesitation if I was on a budget. We were worried it would be loud, being above a bar, and while we could hear people downstairs, it was never so obtrusive that we couldn't sleep, just a quiet murmur.

Check in was quick and easy. Room was clean. Bed was very uncomfortable and could feel every spring. Shower had mold and room had a musty odor near toilet. Could hear every noise from the hallway and staircase. Expected to hear the bar below but was surprised i could also hear the bars across the way. Its a convenient location but wouldn't stay here again.

We arrived late by train and the staff were very helpful despite the bar being very busy. We were able to order a pizza and have it delivered to our room. Tea selection in the room was pretty good.

Had a comfortable stay at Room 3. Room and bathroom look new with sufficient lightings. Excellent shower system with hot water within a few seconds and strong water pressure. There was no cupboard nor hangers but with 3 hanging hooks. Quick and smooth check-in with James who so willingly assisted with my luggage during both check-in and check-out. Short walk to Inverness station, Inverness Castle, Inverness Cathedral, River Ness, local tour meeting points and shops. Will be back again.

Stayed for 3 nights. Room was modest and fairly reasonably priced. Check-in was easy and the food and drink at the bar downstairs were very good. They say to expect noise from the bar until midnight - which is very true. It was also very crowded every night, don't expect the bar to be cosy place to chill with fellow guests. It's also in a very lively section of town so every night ( I stayed during the week) it was still very noisy outside until ~1AM. The room could do with some very easy updates to improve things as well, only things in the room were a bed, chair and tiny nightstand. The bathroom toilet didn't refill post-flush properly- and I see several others mentioned toilet issues which makes me concerned about upkeep. I could see this being a fit for a certain type of budget traveler- but that's not me and I don't think I'd recommend it.

The room was tint but worked for what we needed. The best part of this place was the bar/restaurant. The ove made pizzas were delicious and the organic cider was perfect. Super easy stay on a very busy trip to Inverness.
