The hotel is just outdated - carpets could use a deep clean, shower grout needed some upkeep and some of the wall paper is coming off due to age. The staff is friendly and this hotel is centrally located.

Historic hotel historic rooms
The hotel is a historic building and undoubtedly shows its age, at least in the room I had. I had a cosy room on the 3rd floor which was exactly that, cosy, but did the job. Hotel location is excellent right by the train station

Station
A wonderful old hotel, so convenient for public transport users, especially the train. Well that was why it was built. It would always be my first choice of places in Inverness. If you wish to be negative you could say finding the upper rooms is not straightforward. To me, that's a great characteristic - you may find yourself coming down by the right or left side of the wonderful staircase - it's very bonnie.

It’s right next to the train station, so it can’t get much better than that. The room is cozy and comfortable.

Property was great. Our room was clean, comfy beds. Although it’s practically on top of the train station, noise was not a problem. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

The foyer is superb with an old world charm about it, comfortable and the service is very good. However, there are areas throughout the hotel that need refurbishment e.g. carpet, windows and bathroom fittings.
