Pros:

The room was clean and well equipped

Cons:

The floors creak really loudly and you can hear every movement someone makes above, below or to the right. Very hard time sleeping.

Una locanda sul mare in salsa scozzese
Pros:

La posizione eccezionale, tranquilla e suggestiva. Gli arredi hanno uno stile un po’ retrò, ma contribuiscono all’atmosfera. Il vero fiore all’occhiello è la cucina. Si mangia benissimo. La carne è davvero squisita da assaggiare, come i dolci.

Cons:

La tv non è Smart, ma nell’ insieme è solo un dettaglio.

Pros:

Hotel plein de charme au bord de l'eau. La chambre n'est pas très grande mais très cosy et avec une vue très agréable. Propreté irréprochable. Le petit-déjeuner est très correct. Emplacement juste devant pour la voiture.

Cons:

Un peu loin du centre d'Inverness si vous êtes à pieds, mais pas de soucis si vous disposez d'une voiture.

Nettes Hotel direkt am Wasser
Pros:

Unser Zimmer mit Meerblick hatte einen tollen Ausblick. Das Hotel hatte zwar wenige eigene Parkplätze, aber ein großer öffentlicher Parkplatz liegt direkt gegenüber.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war hellhörig und muffelte. Die Matratzen waren sehr unbequem. Dass das Hotel über keine Aufzug verfügt, ist auch nicht optimal.

Tranquilo y en un idílico entorno.
Pros:

Bonito y limpio. El desayuno muy bueno.

Cons:

La tercera cama era incómoda.
Resulta bastante caro, el desayuno se paga aparte.
Está en un paraje muy bonito, pero lejos de la ciudad, es imprescindible coger el coche.

Quaint and Cozy in the North Kessock Hotel
Pros:

The hotel is in a unique location, right on the water with excellent views. The rooms were nicely appointed, clean and modern. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the welcoming quality was everything you'd hope for in a quaint Scottish village hotel. Definitely recommend and will stay here again on future visits.

Cons:

There really wasn't anything we didn't like. I know that a little cliche, but it's true. This is a nice hotel with great character, well kept, clean and well-appointed rooms. The staff were awesome and the location is cool.
