We stayed here so my husband could take part in the ÉTAPE Loch Ness race for this the hotel was in a good position as the start and finish is opposite the hotel. One thing to bear in mind is the hotel is split across several buildings which clearly used to be residential properties. The main issue here is the noise as there has been nothing added to reduce the noise in the building. We had the ground floor window room right near the entrance door, this continually slammed when people entered and left, you can hear the people upstairs over the room, and with many people using this hotel for the race people were leaving from 5am in the morning, even on our last night we had people arriving at 3am so was disturbed sleep for the whole stay which isn’t great. The room itself had nice original features BUT was very run down, lots of scrapes on the wall, dirty carpet and just lacked attention to detail. It felt very basic in furniture style as we were paying nearly £300 a night so for this I expected more. Bathroom was basic as well. A note on the beds as well they are two singles bolstered together with a thin double mattress cover. I actually requested ahead of time a proper double bed based on previous reviews but was told all their beds are like this. Yes the view was lovely and was close to the city centre so easy walk to restaurants etc but I don’t feel it was good value for money. It was ideal for the race but we should have stayed elsewhere for the second night. I have to say the lady who was behind the bar both nights was amazing. Gave us great advice on whisky and was great to talk too. If the stay cost £300 in total we would be happy with the stay but we visited Culloden house hotel and their basic rooms are the same price but more luxurious style so something to bear in mind.
