This hotel is a gem. Although the building is older, the room was spotless, updated, and everything was in perfect working order. The restaurant cooked an excellent breakfast to order and the Italian dinners were authentic and delicious. To top it off, the hospitality was warm and welcoming, it was a 5 minute walk to both the downtown and the beach. Loved this place and would return in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed a wonderful two-night stay at the Aurora Hotel & Italian Restaurant in Nairn. The location was excellent, with an easy walk to the beach and waterfront, making it a great base for exploring the area. We stayed in a Family Room with one double bed and two single beds. Traveling as a family of four, we were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the room was. There was plenty of room to move around, unpack, and get ready without feeling cramped. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout our stay. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Everyone we encountered was helpful and made us feel right at home. The only minor hiccup was the small hotel car park, which filled up quickly. Fortunately, there was plenty of street parking nearby, so it never became a real issue. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would happily recommend the Aurora Hotel to anyone visiting Nairn.

My single room on second floor was clean, comfortable and quiet....perfect for a good night's sleep. Hotel is well situated, just a 10 minute walk to the train station or a nip around the corner to the Nairn Museum. Breakfast was sufficient...partly self serve, partly hot; but staff was a little scarce so no second cup of coffee was to be found. No gluten free bread, but several GF cereals and plenty of other choices. If I am back that way again, I would rebook but stay for longer.

Nairn’s hidden gem

The English Breakfast served daily during my three day stay was prepared perfectly. The room was clean and quiet for sleeping after a long flight. The staff was super friendly upon arrival and check-in was seamless. I would recommend others to stay at this hidden gem in Nairn.

We had a lovely stay at Aurora, check in was seem less, the lady that greeted us is the owner along with her husband, very nice, hardworking couple. The building is a bit older, parking in the lot is tricky but on the street no problem. The food at the restaurant was excellent.
