Last minute, surprisingly delighted with the stay.
Pros:

It was updated and quite clean. I really enjoyed the place.

Cons:

As I booked it last minute through a booking site, i was not sure how to check in and had to wander around the restaurant and figure it out.

We would love to come back.
Pros:

Good location, music and food close by. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The wi-fi is by far the worst we've experienced in Scotland. Shower was very slow to drain, easy to overflow onto the floor.

A great, quirky, accommodation experience.
Pros:

Friendliness of busy bar staff who pretty much dropped everything to lead me to my room. The nicely presented room.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of. It was all great.

Great place, just check you have a fob to get in !
Pros:

It’s a great place to stay, my room was on the first floor, and I could barely hear the music, I was obviously not in my room for long. The third was super comfortable and it was a super cozy room. The music was great, but the bar was full of a bit of an older crowd.

Cons:

I went to another bar across the street, and when I came back, hootananny was close I was not aware I had a fob, that was not told to me when I arrived, I had a code to get in, but the code box would light up. ( it’s digital) There where still some workers there that let me in and told me I had a fob,
Other than that the place is excellent !

Très chouette séjour.
Pros:

Emplacement au top à 10 min à pied de la gare de bus et de train.
Proche de nombreux restaurant et du château.
Le pub au rez-de-Chaussée très bien.

Cons:

Il aurait été pratique de pouvoir déposer la valise quand on arrive avant de pouvoir prendre la chambre. Mais les restaurants à proximité permettent de patienter:)

Pros:

Toplocatie boven hele leuke bar.

Cons:

Daarom wel wat luidruchtig. Kamer 3 stinkt naar schimmel vanuit de verder gloednieuwe badkamer. Ik vond dat echt storend.

Pros:

Top Lage, bequemes Bett, neues Bad, Netflix ;-), Kaffeemaschine, freundlicher Empfang, unkomplizierter Check in.
Nachts durch die belebte Umgebung eher laut, was uns jedoch überhaupt nicht gestört hat.

Cons:

Jammern auf hohem Niveau:
Mit einem Kühlschrank wäre alles top gewesen.

A complete Hoot
Pros:

Atmosphere outstanding at night, staff were extremely helpful and city centre location excellent.

Cons:

Not really a hotel but a pub with rooms, albeit very nice and comfortable rooms. Expensive for RO.

Pros:

Beautiful, clean room with a comfortable bed and great amenities - this will be our go to when in Inverness now! Great location, seemed like it was only 5-10 minutes walk to anywhere we wanted to go, but still quiet despite being in the city centre. Staff were welcoming and kind, and we loved ending our nights at the pub downstairs.

Cons:

Nothing, it was perfect

Pros:

Fresh linens and nice and clean

Cons:

There was no kettle, there was a fancy coffee machine but couldn't make a cup of tea. Would recommend given the space, have a kettle with coffee bags and be able to make tea and skip the hig fancy machine
