The hotel is pretty run-down. The room was clean, the TV worked but the beds were very narrow and uncomfortable. The toilet was clean, and there were towels, but again it was very small (shower, no bath).The breakfast in the morning was adequate, but with a bus load of Chinese tourists, the single person at breakfast was overrun. I would not recommend it

Check in for two nights, we were told on arrival that it was chefs night off but would be open the following night but it wasn’t. A complete stranger opened our room door to come in on the second evening. He had been told this was his room, but obviously it wasn’t. The room had the bed against one wall which was inconvenient. It is in a great spot, easily accessible to the town and railway station.

The shower had two temperatures - Ice cold or slightly less cold. The cold tap ran hot water and the hot tap ran room temperature. The decor is very dated, worn furniture. As a positive - parking is free and staff are nice.

Medelmåttigt hotell. Nära stationen och centrum. Vårat rum hade smala sängar. Tråkigt med menyfrukosst som det var här. Bätttre med buffe. Dåligt utbud sv bröd.

All was superb EXCEPT for the vacuuming which left a lot to be desired. However the staff everywhere were supremely helpful and friendly. Thanks to our stay at The National Hotel, we were able to contact a taxi that took us to a very small area east of Dingwall to honour our ancestors, so we are still pleased and would stay again.
