Comfy, well appointed hotel in a very convenient location near the train station in town. If you’re looking for a more modern hotel (as opposed to a traditional Scottish bnb) this is a great option.

Pro: A clean and quiet room at a reasonable price, just a short walk to both the bus and train stations, and to shopping/restaurants/entertainment. Also, an ample breakfast. Con: the "Modern Weird" decor and dim lighting in the lobby/front desk that will make you wonder if you booked yourself into a nightclub instead of a hotel.

The staff was indeed friendly and helpful. The room was also nice and clean. However, the cleanliness and design of the bathroom could potentially be improved. One could unfortunately observe some cracked walls and mold in that area. Nevertheless, I would still recommend this centrally located place.

The hotel was in center of Inverness. Location was great in that sense cause it was close to anything we needed. However, if u don't mind the noise of being on the main noisy rd, it's the place for you. Room was clean but too warm. Window was open at all times and although it was, and temperature outside was 13°c, it was still warm inside (but maybe that's just me) while heater wasn't on.
When traveling, I'm looking for a place that is clean & safe, I'm mostly out of the room & coming back only to sleep so I expect the place to be clean & safe and it was just that. Next time, I would probably choose a quieter location but that's a personal preference.

Lovely big room, warm and comfortable beds. All staff are very helpful. Good WiFi a bonus. We had lunch which was great. Check out at 12 is a bonus and just across from bus station is great.

Nice room, clean and well presented.
But the TV was broken on arrival, someone had tried to rewire it and got the connector the wrong way around. Staff couldn't help as they were not technical and as there was no other rooms available I had to stay there (to be fair they offered me a free breakfast to make up for it).
But no water, no fridge, basic tea options.
