Gave it 3 stars because of proximity to train station and walkable. Cleaness not good. Saw the clean sheets and towels on the floor amd hallway windowsill. They make the hotel price higher and include a voucher for dinner to eat at the ash restaurant which is attached to the hotel. The food and service at the restaurant are not good. The restaurant manager is rude and attitudinal.

Well maintained for the age of the property.

The property could use a fresh coat of paint in some of the interior hallways. The breakfast is not worth the price. The location is fantastic, and the staff is very kind.

I was blown away by how beautiful this hotel was. Additionally, it was the only hotel we stayed in that had on site parking, which we were lucky enough to get one. 10 out of 10.

The only thing "royal" about the Royal Highland Hotel is the lobby - luxury stops there. Staff in hotel side were lovely - staff running the bar? (clearly management having to handle the bar), not so. Food was good, but like everywhere they're understaffed, they just didn't seem to handle it quite as graciously as everyone else we dealt with. The room was tiny and very basic - clean, but only one pillow, barely anything to make coffee with in the room. Overall, just ok and a far cry from the other places we stayed around Scotland on this trip. Wouldn't personally book here again

Hotel is in the city center very close to train station and restaurants.

Good hotel close to train station and city center. Lot of restaurants with in a walkable distance. The hotel from outside looks old and grand.

Memorable stay at a well located, well maintained, and cozy Highland hotel.

We had a 7 AM flight, and needed a taxi for 4:30 AM to get us to the airport. They arranged this for us!! We had a free breakfast with our stay but it wasn’t available until 7AM. They staff set us up in the entryway of the hotel with coffee, tea, croissants, jam, fruit and cheeses!!! We felt like royalty!!! This is above and beyond what we expected!!!

Historical site. Hard parking could have been cleaner

Faded glory. Was once probably a comfortable hotel now it's just old. Rooms were too hot. Furnishings were tired. Bedside lamps in our room did not work. No bellboys to help with bags. Breakfast though plentiful was not cooked properly or was over cooked. I could go on. Not worth the cost of the stay. We won't return.

Keyword "Quaint", once you start heading to your actual room. As others have said, the revamped Lobby and Restaurant areas are nicely done but you step back a decade or two in the hallways and bedrooms. In July, the lack of Air Con meant leaving the window open all night. Great for fresh air but listening to seagulls squawking most of the night made for a restless nights sleep. Only 1 small lift/elevator. Friendly, helpful staff.
