Idéal pour une nuit tranquille au bord du Loch Ness.
Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel est top. En plein centre de cette petite ville au bord du Loch Ness.
Le personnel était absolument ADORABLE.
Possibilité de mettre un traitement médical au frais.

Cons:

L'hôtel est dans son jus. Mériterait un petit coup de propre et de rajeunissement.

Te duur voor wat je krijgt
Pros:

De vriendelijkheid van het personeel.

Cons:

Parkeren is achter het hotel. Je moet door het (Chinees) restaurant waar iedereen zit te eten, met je bagage, om vervolgens weer voorom naar buiten te lopen en dan via de andere deur het hotel in.
Smalle trap naar boven.
Overal ligt vloerbedekking wat niet hygiënisch is.
Kamer was ontzettend klein. Ook het bed. Twijfelaar.
De badkamer was redelijk groot. Er lag linoleum of Vinyl op de vloer die overal bij de randen omhoog stak en ze ook onder de wasbak provisorisch hadden bevestigd...
Het was ontzettend slecht onderhouden en gedateerd.
En voor dat geld, €140 per nacht zonder ontbijt? Ontzettend duur!
Niet aan te bevelen...
