2 night stay, single room

Had a decent stay, room was fine, clean and comfortable, staff were friendly. Only issue was noise from other rooms, someone was on their phone in another room for hours and it sounded like they were sitting beside me.

The West End is quiet, clean, comfortable and was perfect for my short stay in Nairn. It's close to the West Beach and within easy walking distance of the town centre and the station. The staff, Andrew & Louise, were lovely - nothing was too much trouble and they were kind and friendly throughout my stay. I can wholeheartedly recommend.

West end Hotel

I have stayed here on several occasions and, as always, it has lovely staff and was clean and comfortable. However two issues made it a less happy experience than i would have liked. Firstly there was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Not what you're thinking but oddly, it smelt like cat pee! The other issue was that my TV and remote were not talking to each other so I had no TV access. A member of staff did try to sort it but eventually gave up with the comment "it does this sometimes". I spent an unhappy two hours Googling and eventually sorted it myself. However, given that i specifically mentioned that I wanted to watch F1 qualifying, that I hadn't unpacked at the time when the staff member was in my room, that this was a known issue and that the hotel appeared to not be at full occupancy, why on earth was I not offered an alternative room?

I came in late at night after hours and at the top of the stairs there was a cleaning closet left open with the light on and cleaning supplies laying out all over the floor. Everyone was clearly already gone and asleep and it was just left like this. Very odd. When I woke up in the morning, these cleaning supplies were still strewn out all over. Because of my late arrival nobody explained the hours of breakfast were only until 9am and since I had arrived so late I slept in to recover. I was really bummed to come down a little after 9 and discover that there was no longer breakfast. I could see there being a strict policy for a time cutoff if you were a large hotel but this was a tiny bed and breakfast. I explained that there was a lack of communication and they didn’t really care. There was no attempt to make it right. Pretty disappointing.

AVOID

The worst hotel and customer service you can ever get. Booked 6 months in advance and they cancelled 2 days before. Very ignorant and when asked, are there any other local hotels, NO, even although we found another one, which belonged to the same people. Horrible!

This is a cute hotel that was clearly understaffed. The room was moderately clean but had not been dusted. They had a mini fridge on a nightstand in a window that made it a bit challenging to close the curtains. One person to manage reception, the bar, and act as food server - poor thing was doing her best but stretched. Dinner was good albeit slow for there only being 3 tables occupied.
