Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although the rooms were unbearably hot and stuffy with accessibility issues, the excellent Loch view added some charm. However, the shower was tiny and lacked in water pressure, alongside holes in the ceiling causing concern.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was amazing, with beautiful views and easy access to nearby attractions, but the room fell short with thin walls and lack of privacy due to terrace seating outside. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were some delays. The dining experience was good, with tasty food, but the facilities could be improved.
The hotel's atmosphere and surroundings were absolutely wonderful, but the rooms left much to be desired. The service was exceptional overall, and the location was perfect for exploring the nearby attractions. The dining options had their ups and downs, and the facilities were adequate but not outstanding.
The hotel offers a breathtaking view of Loch Ness and the surrounding mountains, completely transforming our stay. The rooms lack quality for the price, with no views and maintenance issues like rattling doors and cobwebs. Service is slow, but they have good partnerships with tour bus companies. The dining experience is mediocre, though with a decent selection of food. The location is unparalleled, ideal for exploring the Loch Ness area, but lacking awareness from local Scots.
I had a peaceful stay in a well-located hotel with a view of Loch Ness. The room was spotless and spacious, creating a serene atmosphere. The service was generally friendly, though a bit distant at times. The location was ideal for exploring Loch Ness, but a bit isolated. The dining experience was standard, with decent food options. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay was overall enjoyable, with friendly and helpful service, a cozy room despite limited storage, and a stunning location by Loch Ness. The dining could be improved due to noise from traffic, but the buffet had a nice variety. Good value for the price.
The hotel was a let down for £120 per night with no breakfast as standard. The room and shower were small, making it hard to move, and the view looked into the roof, an absolute disgrace. The room was dirty, small, and felt like a cupboard, with cobwebs on the balcony. The bed was uncomfortable, and the restaurant food was of poor quality.
The hotel did have some positives like holding our rooms when our arrival was delayed, but there were also some downsides such as small showers and dusty rooms. The service was a mix of delays and disappointment with a bright spot of amazing staff members like Janus or Januk. The location offered nice views and comforting touches, though the dining experience had its faults. Facilities were satisfactory overall.
