A Pleasurable stay

friendly staffgreat mealideal locationcomfortable room

I found the staff very friendly. The evening meal was GREAT even though I arrived just before service ended. The location could not BE better. The single room was indeed very comfy and tidy.

The room was lovely, if a bit cramped.. It would have been better with just a little more space for luggage.

Location

The hotel is near the city centre, it requires a manageable walk. A short downhill walk leads to the river Ness. This accessibility enhances the appeal for exploring local attractions. The walk is only a few minutes.

The hotel offers a freshly prepared breakfast exactly as requested. I asked that my porridge be made the Scottish way. I also enjoyed eggs benedict. This variety contributed positively to my dining experience.
