We had the most wonderful overnight stay at Aye Stay! The staff were lovely, the room was perfection, the location was SO walkable and quiet, parking was easy, and the breakfast was delicious. Overall, this was an incredible value. Would book another trip to Inverness just to stay here again. 10+ stars, definitely worth booking if you're heading to Inverness!

Disliked: Amenities
Grossly overpriced! This place is a notch better than a hostel (and that’s being generous). For the price paid - this is not a value. Also, can’t comprehend how this has a rating of 9.8 (unless it’s on a scale of 100. Very disappointed with Expedia wrongly rating this as high as they do.

Lovely stay!!

We recently stayed and had a great stay, room was lovely, clean with great facilities and only a 10 minute walk to the centre or Inverness. We were 4 friends and booked the family room we all felt the beds were very comfy and the breakfast was lovely. The staff that were serving breakfast were lovely, helpful and very friendly.
