In general the stay was excellent. I loved my room, it was very spacious and pretty. The only complaint was that the tea and coffee making area was not always cleaned every day.

Great Location, Old Building

While the hotel was in a great location (quiet, next to the River Ness, restaurants/cafes/grocery stores nearby), the room was worn and had mold growing on the bathroom walls and the shower curtain.

I liked the hotel location. Staff were friendly. Very dusty public areas. The breakfast was definately not as shown on website, limited fruit items available and lots of greasy items. We chose not to have breakfast in hotel because of this even though we had paid for it.
