Staff were friendly and gave us a good larger than expected room on arrival which was good. The hotwl is positioned in a very peaceful area. We had a room on the ground floor at the back so there was no road noise but lots of noise late at night when other guests were arriving to their rooms. Walls/floors are thin! The water coming out of the taps and toilet was yellow..not sure why. Bottles of yellow tap water were being served to customers. The menu was not to our taste far too much spicy food. I had to send the corn on the cob back as it was covered in spice. We were then brought a new plain one and were not charged which was good. Can't comment on the cooked breakfast as we only had fruit/continental options.

The hotel is in a whole other class by itself. We stayed in 3 different hotels in Scotland which boasted being 5 stars, and Ness Walk was far and away the top of the three. It was the nicest 5 star hotel experience I've had. The customer service, check in process, attention to detail and property were all top notch. I would stay again and again if ever traveling back to Inverness. 6 out of 5.
