Guest Reviews
This was a last minute booking as I needed to be close for a meeting
One bathroom for 15 Rooms. The other bathroom has been out of action at least 3 months based on previous reviews. Customers vaping in doors. Breakfast dripping in fat and cold beans. Inedible
Central and had nice staff
Bit noisy late on
The location is excellent, with (limited) free local parking, and right by good value shops and take aways. Breakfast was generally nice, although the provided continental breakfast was a bit limited but perfectly adequate. Staff were very helpful, including helping with storing fairly expensive bicycles. Bar food was very good value. Room size is good, and the value for money is outstanding!
No fresh coffee was a shame as the instant was just adequate. Overall the hotel is a little bit quirky, but perfectly fine for what I needed.
Property was dirty had a horrible smell, noise in room made sleep impossible worst hotel I have ever been in!!
Everything.
Bedroom very comfortable. Lots of little extras.
Booked with breakfast included. Discovered on arrival it was only continental breakfast and had to pay additional for cooked.
De welkoms wiskey
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. When I broke a rib on day two they were very sympathetic and happy to provide us four extra pillows so I could sleep and the included breakfast was fine.
The shared bathroom was a minor concern but we knew that was the deal so no complaints.
Very nice staff. Ended up going to the bar in the evening and having a drink with them and some locals. Friendly people. Nice room, bit small but that was all fine as we wanted a cheap stay. Breakfast was good as well.
Meluisa, ei äänieristystä, ikkunat kolisivat js olivat osin rikki.
Great location
The hotel is in need of some modernisation. The shower tap completely came off, there was no hot water and the hotel clearly has seen some better days.
Het welkoms drankje wiskey
Ramen
Smells

It accommodates pets, staff were friendly and helpful. Good parking around and near Hotel
Shower not working. Had to share bathroom with another room. Four flight of stairs would have been a challenge for some, we managed being youthful 71 and 76 year olds lol
The staff were tremendous, welcoming and helpful. A nice touch was the welcoming bage of sweets and a voucher for a free drink.
The location couldn't be better, slap bang in the centre of Forres.
The hotel was obviously a market leader once upon a time. The entrance hallway and grand staircase point to days of past grandeur.
Ubfortunately the hotel is past its best. It is in need of a complete refurbishment. There are too few en-suite rooms for this day and age.
If you want a meal you have to go elsewhere as only a limited range of bar snacks are available.
On the Friday evening, whilst having a quiet drink in the bar, the volume of the "background" music was suddenly turned up to such a level that, after a few minutes, I had to go back to my room to get away from the din.
I then discovered that the stairs from the 1st to the 2nd floor were very poorly lit, to the extent that it was dangerous in that I had difficulkty negotiating the steps. Anyone with poor eyesight would certainly be in danger of falling.
TV reception in my room (No. 5) was hopeless The signal kept breaking up and I eventually had to watch TV via my laptop, using a HDMI cable, that I fortunately had with me, between the laptop and the TV.
I was also disappointed to learn that I could have booked the same room direct with the hotel for £45 per night, as opposed to the £72 charged by Booking.com.
