Set in a peaceful and lovely surrounding. Located near lots of interesting places like walking trails, the reindeer centre, etc. Room was clean and spacious.
Lots to love but room for a few improvements.
The biggest is the doors on the rooms. They are heavy wooden doors and slam really loud. As you can imagine that’s quite annoying when people go in and out waking people up
Bathroom door rotten at bottom from damp, needs replaced, looks awful.
Cleaning under sinks and taps in bathrooms, the things you see when you sit in the bath!!
Painting of the room could be a bit tidier, white paint all over grey radiator pipes.
Cleaners could be a bit more gentler when hoovering, they batter the radiator pipes in the rooms and it vibrates to the room your in , next door!
Out of stock of some flavours for cocktails, young staff seen with mobile phones very casually. Move out of sight, the customer / service are important
Food is expensive for the quality you get too
The all-inclusive resort hotel is convenient for skiing, but the rooms are relatively old, the resort facilities are very good, and the service staff are busy and almost hard to contact
Hotel location is very good, directly opposite is the main attractions castle, Loch Ness flows through the hotel entrance, walk around, pleasant scenery, breakfast, rooms are large, health is good, clean, there is a Michelin restaurant next to the hotel , But book in advance
Maybe it's in a tourist area, the price/performance ratio is average because of the supply and demand relationship. The English breakfast in the hotel in the morning is very stylish.
The room is spacious and there is an electric heater to keep it from getting cold. Attic-style dome windows are very novel. The breakfast was rich and delicious. You must make a reservation for dining in the restaurant, otherwise you will have to wait for a long time. The service is very enthusiastic. The hotel has no laundry service, no slippers, and a hair dryer. The parking lot is large, the hotel has beautiful scenery, and there is a swimming pool.
A warm hotel like home, everything is like returning home, not only the tableware is complete, but also the food is provided, and there is no problem with the food for a few days. Dryer washing machine, oven, dishwasher, microwave oven, nothing unexpected. Like this hotel 👍 Sitting in the yard after dinner and watching the stars

The hotel is definitely not a 4 star. Top range 3 star at best. The room was clean. It was advertised as a king sized bed, however putting 2 single beds together is very misleading.
The Italian restaurant, the staff are nice but the service is very very slow. Took me an hour to get food. The location is ideal. The sports centre is good and spacious. The pool is good fun. The gym needs a complete modernisation program. Not enough equipment and in a very small room. The sports centre could utiltse space more effectively and have a state of the art gym in the other bigger rooms. It would be used well, however this is sadly not the case. I will return and use this hotel in the future. The price is not cheep and if your expecting Hilton quality then this is not the hotel for you.

GGuest UserThe double room had two beds pushed together, but one was missing a leg because it was broken, making it lower than the other.
We asked to change rooms considering the price we paid for two nights (about €450), but there was no availability. They fixed the bed the next day.
Both late at night and early in the morning, we could hear the noise from the showers upstairs, making it impossible to sleep or not be woken up.

CCHANGMINGThe hotel is in the heart of the town and is in a particularly good location. The hotel's Western food is especially delicious, steak and roast chicken are very good. The breakfast is also very rich and very satisfying.
