Looked very shabby from the outside but was surprisingly modern inside with ongoing renovations taking place . Newly decorated room with comfy beds and nice bathroom . Check-in was easy. Reception man was very helpful ,sorry forgot your name , the most surprising was the amount of choice we had for breakfast . No fully cooked breakfast but Buffet style everything else you could think of and more . Even gluten free section . Was a brilliant breakfast . Overall a great stay and highly recommend. And free parking nearby .

Stopover
It was supposed to be a guesthouse but it was an “under construction” old hotel. No sign-so hard to find. Tiny window. Dirty hand basin and shower. Un-emptied bin. Best part was continental breakfast.

Where to start? The manager for sure was trying his best. Plenty Gluten Free choice at breakfast. The room - on the top floor, no lift - was small but clean with a decent bed. But... regularly no water in the cold water tap over the sink. Hot water tap did run but only slowly and it took forever to warm up. The power shower did not work for two days running. Then it worked for a bit on the 3rd morning but I had to rinse soap off my face over the sink because it cut out. My wife again had to wash at the sink. The sink plug did not stop water draining out - filling it with hot water from the kettle was useless. No bedside tables or lamps. No chair to sit on. Just 1 coathanger in the cupboard. No pegs to hang anything on. We shall not return to this place.

The hotel operates under a different name. It was very hard to find, it wasnt even called the royal huesyhouse, its called "the waverly" Have to go upstairs of a pool club and follow notes written on sheets of paper to fins the guy to check in who doesnt stay there. Breakfast is in a different building down the street...no towels...no deadbolt on door... tv nroken...no itnernet...very sketchy. Giant window in baynroom with no curtains so everyone could see you shower

Some work required!
Hotel had changed its name with no update on website so we had a real job finding it! Check in was a bit bazaar and we were given keys for the room that didn’t work. Website also did not say that breakfast was served in another hotel about 100yards away. I think hotel has just been taken over. Hallways had been newly painted. Room could have been cleaner as we found an empty sweetie bag under a bedside table. Room was functional. Dingwall is a good (cheaper) alternative to Inverness with good public transport links to the city (30 minutes by bus). Car journey is only about 15 minutes. Hopefully some teething issues will be resolved. Proper advertising being key!

Il peggiore albergo trovato in Scozia
Albergo sporco, la stanza assegnata non era stata rifatt, puzzava ed il bagno era indecente. Un membro dello staff ha cercato di assegnare un'altra camera, ma il boss non ha voluto. Ci è stata rifatta la vamera ma ea comunque pessima.

Stay elsewhere
Once you make a booking you get an email telling you to go to another address, no signage and had to call multiple times to find out where to go. Room had a bad smell and no hot water.

could do with a lift as we were on the third floor and there must have been over 60 !!! stairs a couple of places no hand rail ! I appreciate the building was being done up ,but the window was nailed~up and could nt be opened but the wind around the gaps in the frame kept the room cold . ROOM 340 [i think } very end of corridor.Well decorated room but COLD.

There was no soap, no shampoo, no bathmat in the bathroom. I did appreciate having my own bathroom. The black mould in the bottom of the shower and room 8 is not so nice. Wi-Fi was nonexistent in the room, so we couldn’t book our next night to stay. Checking was difficult as we couldn’t find a hotel to begin. We had to go upstairs into a bar to talk to a bar who pointed out that the caretaker had just quit his job there. They were kind enough to direct us down the street to a different location that gave us the key. Was to be included, but there was nothing in this hotel. We had to go to a different location.

You pay for what you get, looks like they are trying to renovate Unfortunately there was a mix up with our payment and we paid twice, with the hotel and the booking company refusing to repay us the over charge. We won't be staying there again or usinh this booking company again.

Our rooms were nothing like the photos shown online. The noise in the hallway of men shouting at each other was scary and kept us awake. The rooms are on the same level as a snooker club and public washrooms. None of this was disclosed in the ad on Expedia. I would never recommend this place.

The room, although just renovated, never had a chair, side table, trash can or a working tv. The room could have been vacuumed first, but wasn’t, so the carpet was dirty. The linen had stains, the towels were frayed,and the window was painted shut. Couldn’t get hold of the manager after we checked in, so for 2 nights it was uncomfortable. Even the foyer and 3 flights of stairs were dirty. I would not stay there, or recommend it to anyone.
