Top Muirtown Canal Locks Hotel Reviews

The Royal Highland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay although staff didn’t seem very friendly. While waiting for our room we went into the bar area. Bartender disappeared and people were waiting. When we finally got our drink the waitress made sure we did not sit at any of her tables. Next day we had an early tour and only had time to grab some items from the continental breakfast. We asked if we could have a to go cup for coffee and were told no. Beds were comfortable and room was nice. Very convenient to the train station."
