Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dated rooms and cleanliness issues — The lowest rating category is 'Rooms and cleanliness' at 6, suggesting some guests find the rooms tired or not spotless.
  • Limited dining value — Dining scores 7, which is decent but not a highlight; still, breakfast is generally praised.
  • Location is not right in the centre — The hotel is a short walk from the main centre, but for some, being slightly out of the heart of Inverness may be a minor drawback.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals after 10 pm may need to plan ahead.
