Would not recommend it.

Good location.

Parking! Poor water pressure. Dirty common areas. Stale smelling. Window was difficult to open. Breakfast staff and food are mediocre.

On the surface practical and pretty. On closer inspection overpriced and run down.

I liked the entrance hall and the close proximity to the railway station

It was a run down facility in need of a facelift. It looked ok very highland however on close inspection everything looked as if it was just falling to peaces. The bar manager was rude to my sister and there were no toilet access once the restaurant was shut. The rooms were just ok and I had to use my inhaler a lot once I was in the room. It wasn’t good.

It served a purpose but wouldn’t return by choice.

Its location. The food was very tasty though it seemed as if any remaining ingredients were being used up in the kitchen. Nice lobby.

The senior member of staff rushed our meal and kept staring at us waiting to finish so he could close up. The bar didn’t remain open in situ to residents. We couldn’t avail of breakfast the next morning (even though we’d paid for it) because it started later on a Sunday! Would have been nice before going to the airport. Overpriced for the standard of the property.

Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen und dieses Hotel jeder Kette vorziehen!

Wir bekamen ein Upgrade (vom normalen DZ zur Honeymoon-Suite mit Himmelbett und Jacuzzi), das war spitze, ein großer Raum und sehr schön eingerichtet! Wie die normalen Zimmer aussehen kann ich leider nicht sagen. Das ganze Hotel ist im gleichen Stil ausgestattet, sehr schön! Vor allem ist es kein stinknormales langweiliges Stadthotel. Alles sehr sauber, ruhig und zentral gelegen! Wenige kostenlose Parkplätze direkt an der Unterkunft, nebenan ist ein gebührenpflichtiges Parkhaus + Parkplatz.

Das Frühstück war ok, aber nicht mehr so vielfältig wenn man später dran ist. Wir hatten nur das Kontinentale, würde nächstes mal Aufpreis zahlen, damit man Eier etc. dazu bekommt.

Volvería

El sitio era muy señorial y cómodo en pleno centro de Inverness, cerca de todo, con aparcamiento y un desayuno incluido muy bueno, con frutas, dulces riquísimos, embutidos muy ricos, pan reciente .. tenía de todo. La habitación era amplia y calentita

En general todo bien

Noise from roof spoiled my stay.

The location was excellent. The room was fine, breakfast OK.

Terrible banging noise all night (coming from the roof?) - I got no sleep.

Lovely stay. Would return.

Lovely hotel right in the middle of Inverness Town. Lots of history and right outside the train station. 5 minute walk to the bus station.

Cooked breakfast expensive for what it was.

A pleasant hotel in an excellent city-centre location.

The location and old world charm of the hotel. The breakfast was simple but ample. Staff were nice and the room was cleaned, on request, to a satisfactory standard.

Noise from adjoining rooms was a problem and the windows were very dirty, covered in bird droppings and with some rotting timbers.

Would stay again.

Beautiful place and great walkable location. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Right next to train station and parking is very limited. When we visited a large portion of the parking lot was blocked off for construction forcing us to use a parking garage a few blocks away.

Lovely hotel, not great customer service.

It’s a great location and a lovely old building full of original features. The room was cosy and had a full bath which is always nice in a hotel.

The beds weren’t the most comfortable and the breakfast was disappointing. I also emailed twice to ask if there would be an additional child supplement to bring my son along after a change of plans and was told no, only to be slapped with a £60 charge on arrival.

Word Royal should be removed from title

Stair way which apparently inspired the Titanic designers in the reception area, and location that's about it.

Parking is very limited. Carpet in our corridor needs replacement, Bedroom was very run down mold in bathroom plus since we were on lower floors you could hear people walking in back alley of to the station which was annoying at night. Breakfast is very poor even by continental standards. Would definitely remove the Royal from the title. Had a lot better experience in a small B&B.

Great location in downtown Inverness

While it is an old hotel I think there has been an effort to keep up to modern day standards

Just that it was old and creaky

Good

Really spacious room. Good location if you travel by train (next to railway station) or if you want to visit the inner city. The hotel has 8 free parking spaces right in front of the hotel.

Bathroom very outdated. Breakfast is served in a huge room with long rows of tables. Looks and feels more like a school canteen than a hotel. Service was poor, as well with breakfast as in the evening, when we tried to have a drink in the lobby/lounge.

Superb

The bathroom was huge. The room small. There was no lift. There was one person, on staff, who did it all. She was friendly and adorable. She checked us in, got us snacks/drinks and helped me print our ferry ticket which I had on my phone but realized they would only accept a printed at the last minute.

Mixture of positive and negative aspects.

The package of room, one dinner and two breakfasts was great.

Parking was a nightmare. Limited spaces. It is a traditional hotel and had a heritage feel but I was a bit disappointed that the bed linen had holes in it. Great if you are travelling to Inverness by train.

Comfortable enough but will think twice about staying again

Great central location

Continental breakfast disappointing - very basic. Offered services (e.g. afternoon tea) but no mention of timing therefore missed it by 30 minutes. Bar closes 9.30pm and serviced by night porter who was busy with other duties and not always available. Hotel looking tired

Very comfortable. I had a great night in the hotel.

This hotel is excellently located for train travellers. The room was very clean and comfortable and included kettle etc. The bathroom was spacious and clean. I had been worried by photos on the website showing oceans of tartan everywhere but my room turned out to be restfully furnished and tartan-free.

I like a very cold shower in the morning and couldn't get the water cold enough.

it was okay (ish). all of the public rooms:lounge area, bar and restaurant were very cold and I’m pretty sure that the t

the location and the entrance hall and stairway which looks lovely in the pictures and is, in fact.

the attitude of most of the staff at dinner at the Ash restaurant (with the exception of one young woman who was friendly and professional). the cost of the drinks and the default position of ‘no’ when we asked if we could have, for example, Beef Stroganoff without the pasta!! The waiter also poured the wine without giving us the chance to taste it. He also never once made eye contact with any of us or smiled. I have never stayed in this hotel before, nor will I ever again.

Location next to station and shops. Beautiful foyer, grand staircase, looks impressive.

Shabby decor, could do with a lick of paint, views unfortunately onto fire escapes. I've stayed before and my single room then was clean but tired decor. There was an old shower over bath which wasn't great if you were elderly. You had to turn a tap like handle to get the right temperature. Very old fashioned. Also could hear people next door, so no soundproofing.
