Two Victorian Houses United in Inverness City Centre

Rooms & Practical Comforts

Each room includes a Freeview TV, hairdryer, and towels, with most offering en suite bathrooms and tea/coffee making facilities. The hotel provides family rooms with flexible bed configurations and single rooms for solo travellers, all maintained to a clean standard noted by repeat visitors. A dedicated team offers multilingual assistance at check-in and can provide local dining recommendations from menus kept at reception.

Breakfast & Dining

A self-service continental breakfast is served in the dining room each morning, with a selection of hot and cold options such as bacon, eggs, sausages, cereals, and bread.

An Unremarkable Stay

cheap mdf petty fee
The location proved convenient for accessing nearby amenities.
I was charged £10 for a replacement room key , made of cheap MDF. Honestly, THAT seemed ridiculous, considering the room rate.
