Spotless room, comfy bed, fabulous shower. Room was well stocked with tea & coffee and lovely fluffy towels for the bathroom. The decor throughout the whole hotel is incredible - amazing attention to detail and I enjoyed the little quirky style throughout. Can’t wait to book my next stay in 2026!

Charming, Cozy, and Convenient

Aye Stay was just a short walk from the city center. The rooms were beautifully updated without losing any charm. It was chock full of character highlighting the Highlands and Scottish character. They offer pre-ordered breakfast for guests in the morning, which was a perfect start to our day.
