4/10 Fair

Pro: location Con: everything else
Initial communication was poor. Room size was not feasible for 2 people and 2 suitcases. I had to rearrange most of the furniture to be able to open both cases. The peaked roof was a danger in the dark with such small space to walk in. Everything was loud (the doors, floors, fans, street noise, other guests). We could hear snoring from other rooms, every door that opened slammed or croaked, even the elctric kettles were audible from other rooms. The temperature was hard to manage. We could get open but not close them again. We never could get the heater or towel warmer to work. I had to ask for help with the windows and learned the complicated combination of keys, handles, buttons and pressure to be able to operate them. Then I asked for help with the heater and the staff, who doesn’t service the room, pressed a million buttons and then said "maybe it will come on". We had a 4 night stay but the room was only equipped with 1 day of in room supplies. When I asked for more I was told I could get it from the noisy cafe below, which had limited hours, and when I finally found someone by knocking on the staff doors they couldn't find the supplies. We left a day early due to the misery and asked for a one day refund and were refused. They cited their no refund policy, which to be fair, exists. The town is sleepy in winter but was still a good location for a base camp for day trips. Still I wouldnt stay here again.

Our room was spacious and comfortable with views directly over the canal. Bathroom was well equipped with a fantastic shower. Free car park for residents and also a cafe downstairs.

This place is magical and so much nicer than what we imagined or were lead to believe by the advertising. This hotel is right on the alive Ness canal as it enters lake Koch was and right outside the hotel are boats and ships traversing the canals, it was magical!

The room was newly decorated and all of the contents looked new. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. We hadnt realised that it was a collection of rooms rather than a hotel and we drove round a couple of times before finding the entrance and where to park. We felt it was overpriced but we had a comfortable stay.

There is no host on site and if you want to reach them use phone or text, neither of these options worked for me. I requested a twin room and got a double bed instead, awkward to say the least. the location is good, the room was clean. The host, which I called with assistance of my host and their phone at the previous location, was close to rude but did give me brief access information to use later in the day. Which I appreciated.

We stayed one night whilst walking the Great Glen Way. The room was clean and comfortable. Well located right next to the Caledonian Canal. The only minor issue was that options for breakfast in the area were limited until 9am.

You have to walk past a long line of open garbage bins to get to the back door entry to the hotel. There is an excellent restaurant for breakfast right downstairs. Opens at 9am though which seems rather late for early risers.

Great property, poor details on where directions and where to park. We ended up parking on the road and having to walk in past about 6 dumpsters that smelt badly.

The accomodation was very good great central location and the bedrooms that we stayed in on the back of the building were nice and quiet. Beds super comfortable. Our only gripe would be the on site manager was quite aggressive. There was a fault with one of the rooms key card locks which meant we couldn't access until a locksmith sorted it. It was eventually sorted but could have been handled much better by him.

Area is nice but a tourist spot that sees a lot of traffic without the infrastructure to support it. The hotel is clean and decent for a nights stay but the person in charge is rude. He was rude about the check in process which is not listed in the booking. He was inconvenienced when we asked for a second towel for the room when only one was provided. The room also did not provide more than one packet of coffee when the room is setup for two guests. No local stores open before 8am so there is no other options for getting coffee before then.

Great location and comfortable beds. Great shower. Host was curt. Not hospitable at all. Website and Expedia said breakfast option for full Scottish breakfast for a fee from 7:30-9:30 was not an option. The host acted like we were stupid when we asked for it. There is a restaurant below the rooms that you can order off the menu, but not until 9:00. Very misleading. We had 2 rooms reserved. One room only had 1 drinking glass with no way to get another. There was no housekeeping or a way to replenish towels and tea/coffee as mentioned on website. The view out our window was lovely as we could watch boats go through the locks. Walking distance to everywhere in town.

If sleep/comfort isn’t important….
The bed was very hard on our backs, so we did not sleep well. The slanted roof made it difficult to walk around the room without hitting one’s shoulder or head. The room was tiny.
