The restaurant was good, and very busy on a Friday night, but we thought it was quite expensive. Good breakfast. The location is lovely, and very convenient to get to the airport. We'd certainly go again.

Roman

Disliked: Staff & service
I am giving this rating because things came up during the trip and we were running late. The hotel basically said too bad that is when we close for the night. We paid full price as it was charged to our card and we didn’t spend the night. We had to scramble late at night to find another hotel in Iverness. Luckily the local Courtyard by Marriott let us come late even though they were closed. Thank you to them for understanding our circumstances and being accommodating. We checked in about 20min after closing so it wasn’t unreasonably late. Considering this is the hospitality industry we were disappointed. Unfortunately circumstances happen while travelling and this hotel was not very understanding and accommodating. Will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Trotz grossem Trubel im angebundenen Restaurant wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen. Da wir sehr spät angereist waren, wurde uns sogar noch eine Mahlzeit im Restaurant nach Küchenschluss angeboten und ein Platz in der vollen Gaststube organisiert. Das Essen war äusserst lecker und ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Lovely hotel, staff and views

Very enjoyable 1night stay- we have been before and it’s still as good as the 1st time. Staff very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a meal in the restaurant at night. As our stay was on a Friday, it’s best to book a table beforehand as it gets really busy. Our room this time was a side sea view and very spacious with a walk-in shower- only thing I would say( as an older person) is the shower could do with a rubber mat as it can be a bit slippery
