The property is on the river Ness, across from Inverness Castle and nearby multiple bars, restaurants, cafes, and a Tesco grocery store. Guest parking is available at no extra charge to guests. Staff are polite, and considerate of guests' needs. We made use of the pool and hot tub during our stay. They have an excellent hotel gym, spa, sauna, and steam room to boot. We would stay again!

Perfect location along the river. This hotel has luxe quality at an affordable price. Only complaint is that when there are several bus tours, the breakfast room is crowded & staff a bit overwhelmed. But don’t let that deter a stay here.

Many of the hotel rooms are in the basement. Rooms are very small and walls paper thin. Could hear the people and TV on the other side. Very expensive stay. You are better to stay in Old Edinburgh for restaurants and shopping for the price of this hotel.

Hotel is in an excellent location. The room we had was overlooking the river and castle so we were very lucky. We were going to a show at the Eden Court theatre which was only a short walk away. My only criticism is the lack of parking for guests staying at the hotel.
