“Perfectly adequate and excellent staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I'd say that the main bonus of this hotel is the staff. At all points during my stay they were incredibly friendly and helpful. For example, I came to check in early as I was visiting my Mum later in the day. I hoped to leave my case but the lovely reception staff got the room cleaned and I was able to check in straight away. I stayed in a little single room at the back of the hotel. It was perfectly adequate for my needs and pleasantly decorated. My only small complaint was that it was a tiny bit chilly and could have done with more robust heating. The bar and restaurant looked absolutely lovely with great views of the river. I did not eat or drink there though and was out until late most nights. Having moved on to stay elsewhere in Inverness, I would say that the Waterside really represents good value for money and is a friendly, cosy place to spend a few days.

“Excellent Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed for one night a couple of weeks ago having arranged a special deal at £40pp D/B/B through a website. The room we were given, whilst at the back of the hotel, was excellent size with lovely decor and a more than adequate shower room. Everything was very fresh and clean. Pre dinner drinks taken in the cozy bar which was lovely and then we ate in the Conservatory restaurant overlooking the river with all the trees outside decorated with Christmas lights. The choice and quality of the food was excellent and the service from all staff from reception, to bar to waiting staff was first class. Breakfast again was a delight with a huge choice on the buffet table and the full Scottish which was delicious. We hope to go back again very soon. Really have to mention all the staff again. Well done everyone.
