“Nice stay in Inverness at Royal Highland Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Just returned from a 2 night stay at the Royal Highland Hotel. Deal included full breakfast on both mornings and this was superb. Due to work being carried out at the hotel breakfast was served in the bar area, however the choice on offer was extensive. We had cereals and full cooked breakfast and there was also a selection of meats and cheese, together with pastries and muffins. We ate our evening meal at the local Wetherspoons so I cannot comment on the food provided by the hotel in the evening.
We were given an upgrade to our room on arrival and this was comfortable, well decorated and had two double beds. The bathroom had a bath and shower over and we were given complimentary toiletries. Our room number was 127 which was on the first floor and faced onto the front. We did not have a view, but also there was no noise from outside. The room was serviced on both days and the room tray was refreshed with complimentary bottles of water and biscuits and the usual selection of tea and coffee.
The hotel staff were all friendly, very helpful and knowledgable when providing directions to local amenities.
Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Royal Highland Hotel and would definitely stay there again

“great family stay”

Just returned from a 2 night break at this hotel, the hotels location is great (just outside the train station. On entering the reception i was amazed by the beauitful staircase that meets you on arrival. Check in was speedy and organised. The room we were allowcated was spacious and clean. Breakfast was fab! so much to pick from (continental-cooked buffet). We never ate in the ash restuarant so cant comment on that but staff were polite and talkative when we purchesed drinks from the bar. We did have a slight problem with our room but the manager Janice was on hand and sorted the issue. we are looking forward to our next visit to the hotel in the near fututre. regards

“Decent enough.”

Our stay all round was relatively enjoyable. We were staying for 3 nights in november and got a great deal on the room. The location is ideal for our shopping needs and perfect as we travelled by train. All round though the staff were generally happy to help and the room was very clean and spacious though a bit dated. The youngish local girl on reception was lovely and helped us with any questions we had, though sadly the young lad who was manning the reception the day after wasn't quite so friendly and put a dampener on our whole experience by his 'don't care' attitude. Location wise it was great!
