The hotel’s location is unbeatable, nestled right by the river, with stunning views of Inverness castle and just steps away from the high street, fantastic restaurants, the Cathedral and plenty of places to explore. The hotel itself was beautifully decorated for Christmas creating a warm and festive atmosphere from the spectacular entrance with its high windows and inviting fireplace. Our room in the turret was cosy and confortable and waking up to beautiful views of the castle was an absolute highlight! We made the most of the hotels amenities including the swimming pool and the jacuzzi! Although we didn’t book any spa treatments the spa area looked truly luxurious and inviting. What made our stay truly memorable was the outstanding service form Louise at the reception. She greeted us with a beaming smile, shared jokes and made us feel genuinely welcome form the start. Louise provided helpful info about the hotel and the city answering all of our questions with enthusiasm and care. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7811584d-2255-4863-b943-90de4b8bafa8-1763373577277.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ca874601-f945-4109-affd-2b14c4f4c885-1763373576468.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ioannis Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela Nov 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness I had high hopes for this hotel, but it was a bit of a letdown. My first experience checking in was dealing with the lack of parking. Their very small lot was full and the front desk was not very helpful in finding an alternative. I chose this hotel because it had a parking lot. Instead, I ended up having to park 3 blocks away in a very tight, paid lot. Needless to say, the first experience was frustrating. Our room was adequate. The breakfast was okay. The location was convenient and quite walkable, which was nice. If I visit Inverness again, I’ll choose another accomodation. ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Riccardo Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location & good facilities & good rooms. ##### Riccardo Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location right on the river.
