Fantastic location , close to everything. Hotel is in a historic building but has been renovated. Bathroom was quite moldy/musty due to the fact the shower leaked water everywhere. Rooms are only serviced every other day however during the three nights of my stay the room was never serviced. Staff were helpful and provided amenities when requested.

Our room was nice, the floor was a little unlevel as with is keeping with an old building. The reception staff was helpful and Stephen in the bar was super friendly. We enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to anyone staying in Inverness. The location was excellent for city centre and the local attractions.
