The Royal Highland Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Tired environment . Not worth the money Great marketing as it was nothing like pictures"

Premier Inn Inverness Centre - River Ness

6/10 Okay

"This hotel is like a Super 8 in USA. Cheap furniture etc. Receptionist was missing when we showed up. There was a machine that claimed to check people in so we started putting in our information etc and it just won’t do anything. Finally, the receptionist showed up and claimed that machine didn’t work. He checked us in. We paid almost $350 a night for the room, and felt it was too expensive for what we got."

Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Now marketed as the Drum Hotel, Expedia should do the same and not use Drumnadrochit Hotel! The room was small for a twin room and very basic for storing clothes etc. Overall the staff were helpful on reception when asked anything about visitor attractions. We only ate one breakfast in the cafe. Would have preferred a proper breakfast room with more obvious element of being served. The cafe had no yoghurt so one breakfast was unavailable and as it was Bank Holiday the reason we didn’t eat again there. The breakfast chosen included a hot drink but as one choice was peppermint instead of breakfast it was attempted to charge £3.95 for the tea bag! This was subsequently refunded but not the 10% service charge. Charging 10% service charge was a rip off as the customer does most of the work, placing an order at the counter, collecting cutlery etc with the cafe staff simply bringing the meal to your table. My advice would be for the cost charged, have the service charge removed."
