We were in a small double which was ok for what we paid but there was a crack in the sink, shower and floor tiles as well as a trip hazard with the carpet loose upon entry to the room. Room was very cosy when we arrived but heating was off both mornings even though it was very frosty conditions. Breakfast was filling and good selection.

Our room was lovely - massive, spotless clean BUT the temperature of the room was close to that of a Sauna And there was no way to turn the heating down or off. Staff wonderful. Accommodation in every other way great. I had to go and sit outside the place was so hot. I overheard other hotel guests also complaining of the rediculous heat. I did tell reception who said she had to phone the manager. The response was that it couldn’t be switched off as other guests would be cold.

The room was clean but the bed was very hard. We didn't get a good nights sleep. Also the property is in need of some tlc and general freshening up. There was only one server at breakfast with a full coach tour in, it was very unfair for her. She did her best but was clearly under a lot of pressure.

The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. She gave us directions to a great restaurant. My personal favorite was the extra large shower with endless hot water.

When I first arrived, there was no one there to let me in. I rang the doorbell several times but no one answered. I was locked out for about 1.5 hours, waiting in the cold. When someone finally arrived and let me in, I was almost charged again for the stay which I had already paid for through Expedia. (Thankfully, I asked what the charge was for, and that cleared things up.) I was given the key, but I was not told which way to go to find the room, so I had to ask. I was not notified of other things that a guest would normally expect, such as how to access WiFi, or when and where the included breakfast would be available. The bed was clean and comfortable. There was sufficient storage space for my needs, and the bathroom was clean, too. The room was poorly lit, however. The bedside lamp was nice and bright, so I relied on that for the most part. The bathroom light often flickered badly when I turned it on. (There was one evening when it didn’t do that.) The shower was nice and clean. However-and this is the most disappointing part-half-way through my shower (and I usually take no longer than 10 minutes for my shower) the water ran out. I had to wash the soap off of me at the sink. When there was no more water in the shower stall, hot water at the sink also didn’t come out. (I assume they are connected.) The cold water still worked so I had to wash the soap off of me with the cold water at the sink. The cleaning crew seemed kind and friendly.

Clean and friendly but not considerate of guests
Not the best of stays. First night I arrived at night and found no hot water in my room but no one was around at reception to either help or move rooms. The second night, someone thought it was a good idea to have not urgent maintenance go on from 9pm-1am sanding down and scraping the walls. Unacceptable. Wouldn’t stay here again.

National Hotel were fab. Hotels.com were crap
Hotels.com were supposed to have moved out stay from the Friday to the Saturday. Despite speaking to “Jefferson” to arrange this, when we arrived on Saturday, the hotel had had no communication from hotels.com! Luckily we saw Kate on reception, she booked us in to a spare twin room as our double was not available. She was brilliant. Hotels.com were not……. I would stay here again but would definitely not book through hotels.com

Handy and comfortable
A handily-located, friendly hotel with comfortable rooms and a good breakfast, with a variety of hot dishes cooked to order. Big fluffy towels and adjustable shower are nice touches. It's located in the town centre, a very short walk from the station, so useful if going on trips to Kyle or the Far North. Also handy if you’re a football fan as Ross County's ground close-by. Bar wasn't open on our visit but the same owners own the Mallard pub, at the station down the road, where hotel guests have a 10% discount off food.

Check in was unusual, having to phone as arriving after 8pm. Given key box code for access to key, was easy enough. Room small but clean and tidy. Heater in room was on which was a warm arrival but room became very stuffy and no window could be opened. Only stayed over night and didn't try the breakfast.

The staff were exceptional in providing a service. They were polite, courteous and knowledgeable. Leia was friendly and made you feel at home with her cheerfulness and bubbly nature. 3.5 stars rating is about right for this Hotel but it wouldn't take much to obtain the other half star. Location is perfect as its situated on the high st and next to the railway station.
