Top Nairn Hotel Reviews

West End Hotel

West End Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was a nice hotel and the lady that checked us in was very pleasant, Room was great, very large, with a large bed and a sofa as well as kitchen facilities, although we could have done with a frying pan! Breakfast is quite early with last orders at 8.45am, so we missed it the first morning, and the second morning was very slow with my breakfast arriving at 9.15am, when we were seated at 8.30am and my partner had already finished his. The staff member did keep us updated and apologised, but given that there was hardly anyone else there, I'm not sure why it took so long. Hotel is in a nice, quiet location with plenty of parking. I would stay again."

"We had an enjoyable stay. The hotel is very central so convenient for city centre amenities. It is however very close to a lot of the bars and pubs, so if you don’t want to be disturbed at night choose a river view room which are at the back of the hotel. We found the staff very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean."
