Aurora Hotel & Italian Restaurant

Breakfast was lovely, receptionist lady was lovely. The room and bathroom were large and had all everything we expected.

The heating was on but it was still cold. The bed is not comfortable. White blinds and no curtains so awake with the sun in the morning.

Lovely family run hotel. Newly decorated large room. Good breakfast. Great location.

The owners were the selling point. So friendly and accommodating and helpful

Room was smaller than expected and the decor could be freshened up.

Located within a 2 minute walk of the local bus stance. A DELICIOUS AND INDULGENT HOT BREAKFAST

No lift and steep stairs

This is my favourite place to stay when I'm in Inverness on a shopping trip.I always come here, it's just a 15 minute drive . I love the old world charm, the rooms are comfortable and clean, (the bath towels are thick and luxurious )the food is amazing and the hosts are wonderful, so warm and welcoming. It is in a great location, just a 5 minute walk to the beach. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Hospitality excellent. The staff were very friendly, flexible and helpful with anything and everything. Great central location for walking in and around Nairn and the surrounding areas.

Funky old school boarding house vibe with a great breakfast.

The street noise for rooms on the main road was very aggressive but fine after about 1:00am

Lovely room.Great staff and excellent food.Great breakfast.

Well situated, very clean and comfortable.The owners were lovely and very welcoming.

Parking was very tight .

Very nice place and hosts! The restaurant was lovely

I left a book there but that's my fault...

Great hospitality and food was exceptional.

Car park was very small and it's entrance was awkward. However there was plenty of parking in the street.

Lovely couple made you feel at home room was spacious breakfast was nice

Very friendly staff, plus in house Restaurant for evening meal.

Traffic noise, but I am a very light sleeper.

It was easy to find and with a useful car park at the back. We were made welcome at the checkout and the room was spotlessly clean and fitted our requirements well. We ate in the restaurant and the service was polite and efficient whilst the meal was both authentic and tasty. The owners were very approachable and friendly and I would thoroughly recommend The Aurora.

Everything was fine.

I stayed at The Aurora for one night, on my way up to The Orkneys. The hotel was very easy to find and I was able to park in the car park to the rear. I received a warm welcome. My room was at the top of the building. The single room came with a TV and kettle, with plenty of tea and coffee, which was welcome after my drive from Cheshire. In the morning I was able to enjoy a cooked breakfast and a selection of cereals and yoghurts were also on offer. The owners were very friendly.

The shower in the en-suite in my room was a little cramped, but manageable.

The room was okay. Nearly clean. Nice mattress.

Everything else.We parked in the car park, which was a gravel mess. Unkempt, weeds.The back of the building was dirty and unloved.Paint worn away from woodwork over many years.A rundown abandoned property came to mind.Entering the building, we were hit by the smell.The accumulation of years of dirt and feet on the carpet made all the communal areas stink. I am not exaggerating!The wallpaper and paintwork were ancient and unsightly. The front of house lady (owner?), was miserable when we arrived and at breakfast.The bexroom was okay.For breakfast we went in to the restaurant, the conservatory. The full breakfast was 3 fried eggs, hard fried, 1 deep fried tasteless sausage, 2 nice strips of bacon, watery baked beans and warm bread that was allegedly toasted.The conservatory was dirty. Very. The floor was dirty chipboard and the roof seemed to be held in place by expanding foam.In the hallway was a framed newspaper article from 2006 proclaiming how wonderful the place was...get this one printed and on the wall.I kept expecting to hear the voice of Cordon Ramsey shouting and swearing at the owners and then his team rushing in to gut the place and start again. Unfortunately not.The owners/chef clearly have no interest or passion for this place and should retire asap and stop inflicting this place on the public.

4 night stay great hosts , comfortable clean room, very tasty breakfast , hotel is also an Italian restaurant, very popular with locals , great location, a real gem

Handy location in the centre of Nairn, room was very clean well appointed and comfy , food was very high quality at very reasonable prices with big portions provided , the staff and hosts were very friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived , I would recommend the Aurora highly for anyone looking to stay in Nairn

Incredibly nice lady that dealt with me during my stay (sorry, I didn’t get your name). Very polite and warm welcome, made me feel completely at ease. The room was clean, everything you'd expect was there and clean. Breakfast was served and again, same lady was incredibly polite and offered me breakfast and a hot drink, but I just had juice. The breakfast itself was perfect and then check out was easy. Would much rather find these gems of small local businesses and be made to feel like I mean something to them than go to a large chain of hotels and be made to feel like a number. Fantastic stay, thank you.

You could say it's slightly dated decor wise, but it's the hospitality that counts for me so it wasn't a problem

Fabulous hotel. We were made to feel very welcome from arriving until we left. The room was big and very clean and the bathroom had a great shower and was light and airy. The bed was very comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. There was a lot of attention to detail in the hotel. The breakfast was hot well cooked and good quality,We ate in the Italian restaurant downstairs in the evening and the food and service was fantastic. The portion size of all the food was very generous. I would definitely return to this hotel and restaurant.
