The room is very close to the Inverness train station. Very good for transiting through. I stayed over night so it was functional for me. There was a shower but towels did not seem fresh. Bed is not comfortable so if you stay for more than one night it might not work well for you.

To be fair in this review: If the vendor who runs the property had actually addressed the issue I probably would have overlooked most of the things I'll share. But since they refused to communicate regarding the issue and, even when showed the video evidence by Expedia, lied and refused to acknowledge the issue I'm going to be brutally honest.
We chose this place because the price was decent and it was close to where we needed to be at a very early hour. The location is close to the Victorian Market and the train station. We are used to the issues of staying downtown so want a secure place. The front door lock of the place was non-existent so the front door code was useless. There is no deadbolt on the individual room and no other way to secure the space. Anyone can walk in at any time. They did not answer emails or calls by Expedia. There is some minor mold issues in the shower and the edges of the bathroom molding. No one cleans under the bed as I found when something slipped underneath. The single bed has the squeakiest mattress ever. Hope no one needs to move on it. We got an almost empty roll of toilet paper and one spare - for two days and three people. Since they wouldn't reply to a safety issue we figured we'd get no response for how to get more. If you want a responsive and safe property skip this one. I have video of all these issues too but reviews here won't add them.

Great location, decent price, first floor does not mean ground level. There is a substantial staircase, but doable. The best shower we’ve had our whole vacation. Water pressure and temperature was outstanding. Could use better pillows, but acceptable.

We stayed in room 6. While the check-in process was pretty straightforward because it was all self-service, the room is very small. It was definitely clean, however we assumed that a four day stay would afford us some sort of cleaning or at least replacement of toilet paper and towels. However, we ran out of toilet paper after the second day of our stay. We messaged the staff a couple times to ask for a replacement, but we got no replies. We asked a neighbor if we could use some of theirs, but they said they were also out. We also ran into another person staying at the hotel who said he had reached out to the staff several times without a broken window and heard nothing. Location was convenient, but there were no amenities whatsoever. No kettle, no coffee, no tea, the television didn't work, and there was no soap in the shower.

Overpriced but clean

The room was clean but as bare-bones as it gets. There were some mould issues in the bathroom and the shower flooded within the first couple minutes of my shower, causing me to have to use 2 of the 3 provided towels to sop up the water. There wasn’t even so much as a kettle in the room, and only a tiny garbage can in the bathroom. The beds were very uncomfortable. And the noise from the street was quite excessive. The room was fine for this weekend but I feel it was very overpriced for what you actually receive.

Was looking for an inexpensive place to spend a night. But this place is horrible. The beds smell, linen isn’t changed and towels for bathroom are horrible. The beds squeak and make noise so you can’t even sleep. Not sure why Hotels.com offers this property on its website

Overall, a good room for one night in a very central location. It was very clean and tidy, apart from one area. The blinds were very dusty when I went to close them. Not a big deal to myself, but other guests might be unhappy with this.

Wouldn’t stay here again

Looks awful from the outside but ok inside. It’s just a room with a bed and shower room. There was hand wash and towels. They looked quite grubby but they were clean. No kettle.
The internet and TV didn’t work. Electric shower kept going hot then cold
Wish I had booked the Travelodge a few doors down for just a few pounds more

Needed a place to stay the night during a quick trip through Inverness. This place was very conveniently located. They were quite accommodating with allowing baggage storage outside of checkin and checkouts times. The furniture and linens were a bit old and while not entirely comfortable were adequate.

Was informed the night before arriving that I’d be not in the main building advertised but in a portable shed-like building in the back alley. Couldnt book elsewhere because the cancellation deadline had already passed after they sent photos of the alley way room I was in with the check in instructions the day before I was due to check in. It turned out okay, but the photos and info about the rooms on the site was misleading. Also the shower leaked, there was mold/mildew on the bathroom wall and dirty smudges and spills on the floors and walls. I stayed 4 nights and nobody came to clean the room in that time or offer fresh towel, etc. Disappointing place except for location.

We didn't stay in this property, since they gave us a room with a double bed and we booked a room for three people.
They don't have a front desk, so there wasn't a way to call a representative to fix the problem.
Not even an Expedia representative could contact the property, so we expect to have a full refund for this reservation.

This room was not in a hotel. It was in a shed in the alley behind the hotel building. Although it was very close to the train station, not suitable for wheeled or heavy luggage. There was only a fitted sheet pillows and comforter, no WiFi. Instructions, no attendant and no instructions for operating heater. Would only recommend for traveling light and very self sufficient. No one responded to text or phone message to request help with heat. Thin wall. I heard neighbor snore, cough and pass gas.

Room was in an outbuilding at rear off premises, accessed by a back lane. Room itself was about twice the size of the single bed it housed. There was a kettle and mug, no tea or coffee!! TV did not work, and when I contacted staff about this (only contactable by email) they were completely uninterested and unhelpful. I strongly advise you avoid this place

This place is a total scam. Do not stay here. This is your warning. It’s not a hotel. The day I came, nothing had been cleaned. The shower had the previous resident’s hair in it, the bed had disgusting stains. Even the kettle had the water in it and the tea cup still had tea.

Here’s the problem: NO ONE IS ON SITE OR AVAILABLE BY PHONE OR MESSAGE. When you dial the property’s number, it goes to a voicemail that isn’t even set up.

I tried calling, messaging but nothing. I left immediately. And hotels.com refused to issue a refund. They just fell back on “the property manager isn’t available. Yet they continue to list it on their site. I even showed them photos. They just say “we’re only a travel agency.” So don’t ever expect their help. I’m reversing the charges on my credit card and they can figure it out with the property owner.

Very basic, matching the price. Small issues could easily be fixed; the rooms are down an alleyway that was occasionally hidden by a painted gate with a door in it, and this was not made clear in the instructions. Secondly, the heater in the room was programmed to make the tiny room far too hot when it was on & I couldn’t figure how to lower its goal temp. Otherwise a very functional and basic place to sleep and shower.

No staff, self check-in which was easy. Clean room, no frills, great price for the location. Mostly younger guests who were a bit noisy ( Saturday night) but settled down by midnight. This was a very nice guest house stay in an easy location, parking a few blocks away in a multilevel car park. Maybe have some cups in the room, even paper cups would be a good addition . I would stay here again.

I went to the location and I didn't realize that the entrance was actually in an alleyway. The room was not made and the trash was overflowing and the bed was unmade and there was a wet towel in the shower (perhaps I was there before cleaning took place) - BUT I really did not feel safe or secure with the location. I think you should explain on your booking app that it's in an alley. As a single woman I would not have booked it had I known that.
I feel misled and I really would like my money (£218) refunded because I ended up finding a different place to stay at.
Also there is no one on the premises - I emailed 5 days before and day of - they only send you a code when you pay and then when I got there, there was an actual key hanging in the door - it’s really little more than a shack in an alleyway. Disgraceful and unsafe.

Bed was comfortable. Bath and face towels for all guests. Smart tv was a bonus with free wifi. Could do with hand towel holder and toilet roll holder in toilet / shower room. Only 1 socket which I could see available. Flexible checkout would also be good (currently at 10am) would be great if you could extend time until 12pm for late checkout. Self check in and out was great. Next door room to us was noisy (shouting n swearing in the night and morning) so a sign to respect other guest would also be good. Some information abouts what’s around would also be good. But overall was a nice stay and would stay here again and also recommend.

This is an extraordinary operation. No desk, no staff, no amenities, just a nice clean room with comfortable beds and a clean, functioning bathroom. Luxury it is not, but very comfortable, especially for us who do nothing but sleep and wash in our rooms. The location is superb, close to station, good restaurants, shops, etc., and the price is very reasonable. We would certainly stay there again and recommend to friends who are not looking for luxury.

The room met our two most important requirements; it seemed clean and secure. We were there on successive weekends.
But:
The tv did not work.
There were not even paper cups in the bathroom.
All the fixtures seemed to have been purchased at the Dollar Store.
The walls seemed paper thin. We could hear conversations of other customers. The neighborhood is just noisy.
On our last morning the smoke alarm for the entire property went off because of steam from a hot shower in the room next door. It was deafening. There was no response and after 20 minutes or so, we left as soon as we could pack up and leave.
