Royal Highland Hotel - Inverness 57.47928, -4.22401

Hotel badly run down and in desperate need of modernisation. Staff in bar and dining room although friendly, lacked experience which resulted in a mix up over the order. Breakfast was most enjoyable. Location of Hotel was excellent and although next to the railway station we were not disturbed by noise.

The hotel is generally sympathetically restored and we eventually had a good room. However we were allocated a smoking room when we had booked a non-smoking and were told that was the only double left . The room stank and was connected by a thin door to a single where you could over hear every word being spoken , so when the occupant left the television on all night we were forced to change rooms 3 am. Noise from the drunks at the taxi rank outside also kept us awake.

The hotel was very conveniently located in the town centre. Staff were helpful, friendly and efficient.

Very central hotel, staff were helpful - it is an old hotel which has been updated. Excellent for sights of interness, shopping and transport links. Breakfast was disappointing, the food was not particularly appetising, and the selection of fruit etc was not appealing.

VERY limited parking so be prepared for a fair walk with your suitcase. My room had coombed ceilings, to get to the wardrobe, t.v, kettle or desk you had to duck. (Which I kept forgetting to do !) Very uncomfortable bed. Not a hotel that I would go back to.

we had a very nice stay at hotel food great room very comfortable staff very polite a helpfull

Not a bad hotel, just dated, in need of some updates. Must have been a grand lady back in the day. Breakfast buff. was just average, staff not very attentive, wouldn't eat there again unless included with hotel stay. Very convenient location in downtown area, immediately adjacent to train station and across the street from Victoria Market and other numerous shops and restaurants.

This is the smallest, most expensive one nights accomodation we have had in the 3 weeks we have spent in the UK. The room was extremely small with part of the ceiling sloping away. The bathroom was in similar proportin to the bedroom, small!. The wi-fi signal didn't work and when I contacted the reception, I was told that our floor didn'thave good reception and that I would be better off coming to the ground floor reception area ad using it there. On the positive, the room was clean and tidy.

The hotel is literally right there when you exit the train station. And it is only a block from the nightlife and restaurant areas. It's within walking distance to lots of the sites in Inverness and the bus station (in case you go on a Loch Ness Tour). Also, the ladies at the front desk went above and beyond to help me find a place to eat and book a trip to Loch Ness!

We didnt enjoy our stay at all. The place is well past its prime and is in dire need of some maintainance. Internet was non existant as was the service generally - Were some nice staff so I cant group them all together

Good size rooms, excellent shower, excellent central location. Good breakfast buffet - no complaints.

This is clearly an older hotel which once top class but now looks slightly shabby in places. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was great. Parking is a bit of an issue with only 9 spaces outside the hotel and no free parking in the centre of town that we could find. We were directed to a multi-story carpark that charged just £3 for 24 hours though which isn't too bad.

Sign in bathroom 'Take care hot towel rail'. But it did not work at all. Hotel staff ordered a new part but it was too late for us. Window frame in the bathroom was rotting. Wallpaper peeling off the wall in the corridor outside the room. A hotel with fading elegance. Be nicer when it has had some tlc. However the staff were great and so was the food. Car parking is very limited but local multi storey is reasonably priced.

Service &quality are there in spades.Brekky selection is 1st class,bar V good,Restaurant didn't use, room very comfy.BUT PLEASE GET SOME SECONDRY GLAZING FITTED!,at times it felt like room 105 was in the square! Windows apart the hotel is what it says it is

Location of hotel is Fantastic, rooms are comfortable and clean. Reception service is very friendly, shame we could'nt say the same about the bar/restraunt food is nice but the bar service is a little shoddy!! Out with the old and in with the knew!!!!!

The hotel was not what we expected, The hotel was very cold and even though we had the heating on maximum my fiance was frozen the whole time, the food was not all that great and the parking was very poor. in conclusion we wont consider using this hotel again.

We stayed one night after arriving in Inverness on the overnight sleeper train from London. The hotel is right next door to the train station, which was great when we showed up sleep-deprived at 8 am. We were even able to check in immediatly upon arrival which was fantastic. All member sof the hotel staff we encountered were extremely friendly and helpful and gave us great help with finding our way around the town and with contacting a rental car company. Room was large and the bathroom was enormous and had a comfortable bathtub, which was great after travelling for 12 hours. Free wireless internet was much appreciated. We ate dinner in the restaurant and it was enjyable as well. Location is great, and you can quickly walk down to the river or to the high street in just a few minutes. Highly reccommended overall!

Just outside the train station, restaurant has reasonable prices, and at the center of the city

The Royal Highland was a quaint and comfortable hotel steeped in history. One could imagine days of old, functions and events held in those times as the decor was very well maintained. Great location in the centre of town and walk to just about everything.

The stay at the hotel was very pleasant experience,from the welcoming foyer to the functional room.I did not dine in the restaurant,I only took breakfast which was of high standard.Staff were professional and excellent.

A comfortable hotel with a good restaurant. Next door to the station.

Zimmer: Mein Freund und ich haben eine Nacht in diesem Hotel übernachtet. Es hat uns gut gefallen, das Zimmer war groß, bat viel Stauraum (Kommoden, Nachttische, Schrank) und Platz zum gemütlichen Sitzen. Es gab einen Fernseher, einen Föhn und ein Bügelbrett. Das Bett war riesig. An unserem Raum 118 störte uns, dass er direkt neben dem Küchengenerator lag und es tagsüber bis etwa 22 Uhr abends sehr stark brummte , sodass man nicht wirklich im Zimmer sitzen konnte. Bad: Das Bad war behindertengerecht eingerichtet, sprich sehr geräumig und große ebenerdige Dusche zum "reinfahren". Lage: Das Hotel liegt im gleichen Gebäude wie der Bahnhof, was jedoch in keinster Weise stört, da der Bahnhof ein Sackbahnhof ist und die Züge langsam rein und rausfahren, sodass man sie nicht gehört hat, selbst mit Zimmerblick auf den Bahnhof. Des Weiteren liegt das Hotel direkt in der City, man kann abends gut rausgehen und die Bars abklappern oder Nachmittags bequem shoppen gehen, ohne große Strecken zurücklegen zu müssen. Service: Die Frau an der Rezeption schien schwer beschäftigt, wodurch der Freundlichkeitsfaktor nicht besonders hoch war, jedoch ok. Man kann bei Bedarf auf dem Zimmer frühstücken und es gibt einen Nachtportier, bei dem man auch Nachts Sandwiches bestellen kann. Frühstück: Es gab ein großes Buffet mit diversen Cerealien, Wurst, Käse, diversen Aufstrichen, Toast, englisches Frühstück, diverse Säfte, frisches Obst, Kaffee und Tee etc. also sehr reichhaltig.

The hotel is old, tired and dirty. The service was poor to good depending on who you met. The breakfast was the typical British breakfast with no healthy options. Overall a disappointing stay.

Zimmer sind sauber, Service ist OK, Freundliche Mitarbeiter, Organisation des Früstück manchmal etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, nur eine Servicekraft bringt Kaffee und Toast an den Tisch, das kann dauern, Angebot aber reichhaltig

beaucoup d inconvenients, on entend la rue (voiture, gens...) comme si ils étaient dans la chambre, idem pour les voisins (avantage si vous regardez la meme chaine de tv, vous avez la stereo ...lol), petit dejeuner vraiment pas terrible, le plus mauvais de mon sejour(6 hotels). probleme de parking pour la voiture(parking de l hotel limité a 5,6 places..) avantage la situation plein centre d inverness

Bel hotel historique

Très agréable, très propre
