8/10 Very good

Overall this is a good place, in a quiet location. Rooms are quite basic but fine. The shared kitchen is really nice. The only problems are very thin walls (you can hear any noises e.g talking and phones pinging in the next room) and a bright green light over the room door which you can't switch off. But overall a good stay and I slept well.

Cheap and cheerful. Did the job for an inexpensive overnight stay near Inverness. Clean. Instructions easy to follow to gain access to room. Nice and quiet.

8/10 Very good

Good and affordable place to stay in a quiet neighborhood at Inverness. It took us a good minute to figure out which room was ours since it's a self-check-in process and the keys to each room were on the doors. Overall great stay.
Verified

8/10 Very good

On arrival the key for the room we booked was not available, we contacted the owner and they were quick to respond, after a bit of back and forward on the chat a suitable solution was offered. Several light switches that seemed to do nothing and one set of lights that could not be turned off was a bit inconvenient. Overall the stay was comfortable and the owner helpful

8/10 Very good

Overall pleasant experience. Wish there was more signage and the phone number was inaccurate. Still, we were able to check in to our clean hostel without a worker and had a pleasant experience. The bathroom was especially nice.

2/10 Poor

Other than the shower, the place was dirty. Kitchen and floors need a deep clean
Alex, 1-night trip
Verified

8/10 Very good

We were very jet lagged so it was a convenient place to crash for the night. But our room smelled of stale cigaret smoke, we had to sleep with the window open. And the mattresses had buttons in them that made them extra uncomfortable. But the place was clean. And we felt safe.

DO NOT STAY HERE

DO NOT STAY HERE. No hot water, and I mean NONE, not like the pictures at all, very dirty, smells. Horrible experience. After 1st night of a 3 night stay we left and stayed elsewhere.

4/10 Fair

Not a very good location, poor repair, and overall quite dirty. Seems like a place the owners are just trying to milk for what they can without putting any effort or work back into the place. The freezer in the kitchen was so iced over the door wouldn’t shut.
