The room was spotless and the staff was amazing. The food there is incredible as well. Please make a note that there is not an elevator so if you have any issues carrying your suitcases up a flight upstairs or two, you may want to reconsider. Would definitely stay there again!

This is certainly a hidden gem located in Inverness. Upon arrival it was noticeable how clean the property looked. We were welcomed by a lovely young girl who checked us in and explained everything about our stay. The hallway up to our room was beautifully decorated and very modern looking. Our room was lovely, very spacious and it was spotless. The added bonus was the basket of goodies left in the room for us, my husband was very grateful indeed. We had continental breakfast as part of our stay and there was plenty to choose from. All in we enjoyed our overnight stay and we would definitely recommend the hotel to others 😀

Lovely spot above a beautiful historic pub. Was plenty quiet enough, and the family room provided plenty of space and privacy for us. Staff was lovely and helpful. Do note that there is not a lift/elevator and that all rooms are up at least one flight of stairs in case you have mobility issues. Would definitely stay here again!

They let us check-in early, offering us complimentary snacks and breakfast during our stay. The room was beautiful and cozy and every clean—would 100% recommend staying above this pub.

Waste of money. We paid like $500/night to stay here. Parking was a nightmare, breakfast was a joke, had to climb over cleaners stuff to get our bags downstairs. Food was subpar in general. Staff seemed clueless. Worth no more than $150/night.

Locked out of Hotel and has to check into another

After going out for dinner and drinks, we came back to find that our front door key didn’t work and which resulted in us being locked out of the hotel. We were unable to reach anyone there, and had to check into another hotel. We returned the next morning to share our story - the staff tried our keys and confirmed they didn’t work and couldn’t explain why.
