“Kingsclub and spa nice but overpriced.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012 via mobile

First of all of I had paid full price for the room at the Kingsclub I would have been disappointed.

The hotel looks great and the room was very nice. Our room temperature did not seem to be warming and going by the cheapy additional halogen Heater the hotel knew it didn't work.

They have the worst pillows ever. Coupled with the road noise all night and mornin, not the greatest of nights. The balcony doors and side window were letting in air and noise

Dear Guest,

Thank you for your review. I was disappointed to read that you found the Kingsclub to be overpriced. The Kingsclub does offer modern, contemporary rooms which are very well appointed and offers extras that standard rooms do not have such as robes, slippers, a welcome plate, fresh milk for your tea and coffee, fresh coffee instead of instant, i-pod docking station, cordless phone, clock radio, large flat screen tvs with over 120 channels. It also hosts a free business center and mezzanine lounge.

I was sorry to hear you were disturbed by the external noise and drafts. I can only assume the window vents were left in the open position. The whole country has experience a very cold week and we have supplied additional heating for guests who wish.

Kind Regards

Craig Ewan

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

Stayed for one night in January and got an upgrade to the Kingsclub across the car park from the main hotel (80yrd walk). Very, very impressed! Large, clean, and fresh room. Wee welcome treats on arrival in the room which is a nice touch.
Had evening meal in the Glass House restaurant. The service and food were first class in a lovely calming atmosphere. The breakfast the following day again was first class and complements must be passed to all in kitchen for their efforts- we tend to forget those who work behind the scenes!
All staff members we met could not have been nicer or more helpful, from a travellers point of view that says allot about the establishment that they work in.
Used swimming pool and if you have kids it a real plus point. Hotel is adjacent to Inverness Golf Course so its perfect placed for golfers.

Room Tip: Rooms in the hotel are nice - it realy depends on what you are willing to pay in relation to rooms w...

Dear Guest,

Thank you for your guest review. I am delighted to read your were very very impressed with our Kingsclub and Spa. I was glad that you appreciated the attention to detail and the small touches. Dinner in our conservatory a la carte restaurant is a great experience, especially on a Friday and Saturday evenings when we have our resident pianist playing. Breakfast in the kingsclub is also a great experience with the hot breakfast being offered a la carte and time taken to create and present the best breakfast. We have a great breakfast chef. I a proud of all of our team as they all work very hard to try and please every guest and deliver our goal of exceeding expectations.

Kind Regards

“Another wonderfull stay at the Kingsclub”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My wife & I have just returned from what has become our annual tradition, to visit Inverness and to stay at the Kingsclub.

It is our chance to properly relax, recharge the batteries and plan the year ahead. The Kinsgclub is perfect for this. Shame the Whisky people up the road have "Glen Of Tranquility" taken, as it suits the Kingsclub perfectly.

We first stayed when owned as the Inverness Marriott, then several stays at the Kingsmill and now our second visit to the Kingsclub.

Our room, with balcony (604) overlooked the Golf course, was spacious, clean and very comfortable.

We used the Spa ( couples massage ) and the Leisure Club. The Spa was fantastic, my back & shoulders have never felt so good.

The breakfast was fantastic, loved the smoked salmon & smoked haddock. It was enough to keep us going all day. Plenty of choice, though i wasn't too keen on the croissant's, they should be proper size, not bite size.

We didn't use the hotel restaurant as there were a couple restaurants in Inverness we wanted to try.

The best bit though are the staff, always friendly, helpfull and enthusiastic. We were always greeted with a smile and friendly conversation.

In my opinion the difference between a good hotel and a great one, is the staff. You may have the best property in the world, but if the troops aren't happy then the guests won't be either...it may only say 4 star above the door but it's 5 star service.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to write a guest review.

I am so glad that you enjoyed yet another great stay at the hotel. I really appreciate your business over the years and look forward to welcoming you back next year. Our associates do really try and deliver the best level of customer service. The Kingsclub is more expensive than the rooms in Kingsmills however is worth it. I am delighted to read that as a couple you enjoyed the "duo" spa massage experience, it is becoming very popular and once you have had that experience you will come back again and again. A real treat.

Haste ye back.

Kind Regards

“Kingsclub - Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We won this stay in the Kingsclub (part of the Kingsmills Hotel) at a charity night. The Kingsclub is in a separate new building accross the car park from the main hotel. Our room was lovely with a large sheltered balcony with table and chairs overlooking the golf course. The room was very clean and well set out with everything you could need, including a very welcome cafetiere and lovely fresh granules, crabtree and evelyn toilettries and a huge bed.

Breakfast in the morning was served in the dining room of the Kingsclub and not in the main hotel. I rarely eat a cooked breakfast but this was freshly made to order and delicious. The gentleman serving us in the morning - he may have been the Kingsclub manager - was truly helpful and efficient and made us feel very welcome.

All in all i would definitely recommend this hotel.
