I have stayed in this hotel on a number of occasions and rarely have any complaints. Staff are efficient, friendly and usually willing to go the extra mile. I did not dine in the hotel on this occasion but the bar service was excellent and I was able to assess the service of the restaurant staff from an impartial viewpoint.... More

I stayed here for the weekend with my best friend who I hardly ever see. Because of the location, we were able to go round the shops and just nip back with our bags. We enjoyed some brilliant cocktails in ash and a great meal. All the staff were brilliant. The hotel was clean and very comfortable. We're gonna try... More

As a yachtsman en route to the Isles, I enjoyed soup and a wonderful plate of pasta and prawns in a comfortable chair tucked in beside the staircase. The staff could not have been kinder (I wasn't feeling very well) and looked after me beautifully. Thank you so much for a lovely start to my sailing trip.

Pitched up for work, purely for an overnighter. Hotel seemed to run along the same lines as other Scottish Hotels - staffed by Eastern Europeans, clean, hints of faded glamour. The plus points to the hotel were pretty obvious - the breakfast buffet was relaxed, has a massive selection, as was really nice. Although I didn't eat in the restaurant... More

As we walked into the grand reception area, we had a good feeling about our choice of hotel. Teh entrance hall was welcoming and beautifully decorated. Then.... then... we tried to check in. The lady was extremely rude and very abrupt. Another group of friends were staying in the same hotel. They had exactly the same issues with her. (They... More

I had a similar problem to a previous reviewer, in that on arrival we also found our double room was a twin. We were told that the beds had not been zipped together and after a while we were given another room with a double bed. The view from both rooms was disappointing, overlooking the roof of the railway station.... More

It could be once excellent hotel in Inverness for a royal and comfertable stay also for its good location. During my stay i found it has partly lost its royal color. Room given to me was small. Nightlife is very quiet around this hotel, however good for window shopping...

Inverness was a lovely Scottish city despite the rain we had off and on while we were there. The royal highland was an absolutely amazing experience! While it was built in 1854, it has been beautifully decorated and lovingly cared for. the decor is regal befitting this lovely old lady. The first thing you notice as you enter is the... More

I had a terrible nights sleep in room 110 on Sunday 26th May, my room cost £55.96 with no breakfast. The noise began at about 11.30pm with repeated banging of heavy doors somewhere below me and bottles being emptied into skips. I was trying to sleep as I had an early start the next day. The noise continued as two... More
