An older property in the heart of Inverness adjacent to the station (it was built by the railroad back in the 19th century). Room was small, and there is no AC, but I was traveling solo, and it had a fan.

Oh no, this hotel spent all their funds on the lobby & restaurant. The rooms are HORRIBLE. Haven't been updated since who knows when. Smell was bad, tiny tiny rooms, no air conditioning, beds were ancient with springs sticking up and very small, almost a twin. We didn't even stay!! Had to suck up the money & moved that night at midnight!!!

Obviously being next to the station is an advantage and having a spacious entrance is great. Staff were friendly and breakfast and dinner were both tasty although the fried eggs are usually over cooked so ask for a dipper if you like to be able to do that. In terms of negatives the decor is looking tired rooms are compact and the lift is a bit temperamental.

The Royal Highlander Hotel is a quaint , enchanting , old style hotel. It has a beautiful staircase that I absolutely loved and a large lounge in the lobby that is comfortable. It also has a serviceable elevator from the ground floor and reception. So the stairs are just a grand show piece. Staff are very friendly. The continental breakfast is below par with a toaster that does not work, no dishes to put food on and slow refilling of exhausted offerings. However, it offers a large variety of choices. Hot items such as bacon, eggs and sausage, hash browns and baked beans are part of the Highland breakfast ,at a cost they can be included in your continental breakfast. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

What an incredible deal! Free continental breakfast was wonderful. Lots of food choices as well as an inexpensive option to upgrade to Full English. We also opted for the free dinner option. The food was great. The staff of hotel was so nice. Our luggage was lost by airlines and desk staff was so helpful in pointing out convenient affordable places to purchase clothes and supplies. Hotel was convenient to all transportation, sites and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

The evening receptionist on duty spoilt the stay. She was rude and indifferent to two requests. Appalling atitude to guests and do not know why she remains employed at the hotel. The rest of the staff were wonderful. The ladies who clean work very hard; immaculate room. I recommend them. The dinner and cafe staff were lovely. The other receptionist early in the day lovely.

Location right next to the train station is very good and staff were friendly and helpful. However, this hotel is tired and in need of a real refurbishment. The window in my room didn't fully close, which meant it was cold and noisy in the evening.

Though the staff was quick to check in. I was so disappointed and frustrated about the parking situation. Upon arrival the “free parking” that the hotel had on their website was limited to a mere 7-10 parking stalls that was shared with the train station and taxi services. Upon asking where do we park, we were told to go down the road to a parkade to keep the car and walk back to the hotel for our stay. I was also told to wait until 6/7 pm and then there should be more areas to park. My husband and I waited and again, there was no parking. We had to return to the parkade and pay for parking and was not compensated for it. For a hotel that says “free parking” it should say limited free parking and then give customers some sort of compensation for parking costs overnight. The hotel itself is nice. Right in the middle of lots of shopping and restaurants. Besides of few sea gulls you can hear out the window, it was quiet. The room was a decent size, the bathroom was cleanish except a few rust spots. The heater im the room was pretty nasty looking with lots of wear. Beds were good though!
