3.3 / 5 3.3 / 5 John [Larkhall, GB] on 31/03/2009 (Mature couple)

Staff friendly and helpful. Reception area and cafe/brasserie very clean and welcoming with a good atmosphere. Quality of food at breakfast was good. evening meal was excellent. View from room lovely.

Room poorly furnished [lacked suitable drawer space for clothing] No towel rail in bathroom. Beds small and uncomfortable.Certainly not what should be expected of a executive room. Restaurant ok for breakfasting but totally unsuitable decor and settings for evening meal.

Overall: Loved Inverness and location of Hotel. Enjoyed break, despite Hotel not being of similar standard to previous Best Western's we have stayed at.  (107906397)

Proximity to City Centre; Breakfast and room size

Noise from Gulls and service at dinner

Overall: This is a tourist hotel that caters well for coach parties, so if you are planning a break to Inverness this establishment will serve you well.It is a very short walk accross the bridge to everything Inverness has to offer. My room was very spacious and comfortable, however, I was driven mad by the noise made by a flock of Gulls that seemed to camp on the roof of the hotel. The staff who served dinner were a bit slower than my expectation and didn't offer accompaniments with food, nor a second drink with my meal. It was very different at breakfast, the staff were well organised and served a very busy dining room with ease.  (108053009)

Excellent location with beautiful views over the river.

We appreciated all aspects of the accomodation and could find nothing wrong at all

Overall: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay at the hotel again. The only comment we would make is that the choice of menu for the evening meal could have been a little more extensive. We found that the choice was limited. With regard to the breakfast menu, this was one of the best selections we have found in our stays at other Best Western Hotels in the United Kingdom.  (97565997)

Nice large room view was fab looking over the river, nice and central for the town.

The room was cold and that was with the heating on full the windows could not open there was a large gap at the bottom of the glass we had to close the curtains to keep the draught out, the bathroom also cold the shower curtain was very dirty and had a terrible smell, was rather bad.I had informed reception and asked for a clean shower curtain but this did not happen

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
