Absolutely terrible. Filthy. One of our rooms wasn't available so they moved us down the street. We were separated from our traveling companions, and the place down the street was so loud that we were not able to sleep until after 2am because of live music across the street. Room was literally shaking. DO NOT STAY HERE. We moved for our second day - much nicer hotels in Inverness at a similar price point.

The staff were great! I had requested some gluten-free options for breakfast and they hadn’t received my message through the booking app, so someone went out immediately and bought gf bread, crumpets and cereal and was back before I had finished the yogurt and coffee I thought I’d be having. Very grateful for this lovely service. This is a very well-located property if you’re coming by train. It is an older building and shows its age but the room was clean and comfortable. The reception is up one floor and rooms may be up another 2 floors and there is no elevator so you need to be able to manage your bags up stairs. Again, great staff, very helpful and accommodating.

Sorry but our room was hot with no fans and when we opened our window all we could smell was stale fish and chips from the extraction fans of the restaurants below. It was pretty bad

Clean but loud

The check-in process was great, there was a person at reception when we arrived. The room was clean and working apart from the window was broken and took a bit of effort to shut properly. The largest downside was a loud humming noise resonating through the room throughout the day, as if coming from an industrial laundry facility somewhere underground. Thankfully it got quieter between 23:00 and 7:00 so we could fall asleep. The shared showers were clean apart from a bit of mold in the linings.

Bed Bug Bites.

I don't usually leave a negative review but unfortunately have to on this occasion. On arrival everything was fine, Staff member very polite and helpful, Room looked nice and clean and overall happy with our late booking due to incoming works. In the morning at breakfast we found that the continental breakfast section/table was in a bit of a mess and bread and other foods had been handled by guests that were sitting at the tables, Disgusting attitude by people with obvious no manners and letting their children do whatever they wanted to do, The staff member was trying his best but just not firm enough and should have said something. We left in the morning after a one night stay and the following morning had to go to our local pharmacy with what we thought was insect bites, We were advised that due to the bite ratio (3 bites in a triangular format) that they were most likely to be Bed Bugs, we were in room 115 I'm sure so hopefully a member of staff will have a look and see if this can be sorted. All in all, It was the very reasonable stay rate but with suffering from these bites, that aren't very nice, I would not return in the future.

Great for a city-centre stay

Located in the heart of Inverness, a short distance from the river, it is a great spot for those seeking a city break with every amenity close at hand. Parking is best at the 24-hour multi-storey on Old Rose Street (£9 for 24 hours, £8 for every 24 after that - and less if your stay is shorter). It’s a five-minute walk to Union Street and the guest house. A flight of stairs takes you to the reception and a very warm and friendly welcome. Rooms are basic, the furnishings a little tired, but they present very well. The downside is for the noise of the gulls outside. They squawked in unison most of the night - but of course that isn’t the fault of the guest house. Breakfast is included, and it consists of a choice of cereals, yoghurt, crumpets, pains au chocolat, brioche, bread for toasting, jams, a choice of tea, coffee and fruit juices. For the purpose of our visit, the Waverley was very good and I would stay here again - but bring earplugs to counter the birds!

Overpriced

The stay was below average. No teaspoon to stir hot beverages. Toilet seat was loose and the wrong type. No soap available for the bathroom. Nighttime noise was audible from the streets despite being at the back of the hotel and windows closed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The best thing about this property was its central location, and walkable distance from train station, city center and sights. The staff was friendly. While the online image looked pleasant, the building was overall poorly kept. Windows were not cleaned. I had roosting birds right above my window, poop on the window and bird debris falling through the window, which needed to stay open to get some fresh air in the room. The room had a musky stench, carpet had burn marks, the shower head bar fell straight out of the wall. The worst was the ever-present noise of slamming room (fire) doors, surrounding tenants due to thin walls and the pub across the street of the hotel blasting music from noon to late in the night. No elevator or lock box available. How about getting a new round of pillows every now and then? I won't stay here again.
