No view to speak of and the wi-fi was pretty non-existent, but that's the Highlands for you!
Perfectly acceptable for a one-night stay. Clean, functional, free tea&coffee&biscuits, bed was comfortable enough.

If I had to be very picky, the kettle took ages to boil water!
It was very clean, my room was maintained daily during my 6 day stay. Travelling solo, the lady in the reception told me all about local pubs, restaurants and a lovely bakery 30 second walk from the place. Great location from the city centre around 5/6 min walk with a big Tesco on the way as well so could always manage to get some food for myself back to the room. The heating was on in the evenings which made the stay very cozy and pleasant.

Green light above the window inside the room couldn't be turned off Paper thin walls - heard everything from people in other rooms - talking, snoring, shower dripping, toilets flushing, every footstep and creak from people upstairs Wifi works for 5 seconds at a time and then disconnects constantly Old, saggy mattresses Bathroom door doesn't close without being locked from the inside
It was very clean Well located

Having to leave my luggage at 8a to walk over to 19 Ardross to check in after my taxi left me with no other option . Advice: if solo and using a taxi, insist on checking in and then being dropped off at 8a
Everything else was fine!!

Heating didn’t work in room. Only a electric fan heater. All sockets at floor level, which meant putting kettle on floor to boil it. Door to room supposed to be a fire door yet large gaps between door an frame so would be useless in a fire, see picture at night. Mattress was okay but definitely at the end of its life.
Close to city centre, parking. Good staff. Lovely well stocked tea/coffee tray

As it's a large guest house, you can hear people walking in the rooms above you. One bedroom is separate from the main house and is located at the back of the property. Wifi signal is bad in that bedroom.
Great location, short walk to the city center. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The key drop box for check-out made the process easier. Wifi signal was good in a the main house. Menus from restaurants are also available in the lobby. There are lots of parking spots.

The beds are a little bit "tired".. think that perhaps a small investment here would be a good idea,
Five minutes walk from the town centre (you can even get the number 2 bus in front of the hotel if you want). Room was spacious and well thought out. Check in was simple a 100M walk away. I recommend. A small supermarket is 100M walk away if you need any extra stuff.
