Hotel was very clean, I was in a single room so was fairly small, but adequate and very clean, bed was very comfortable.
All staff very friendly, great service and great breakfast. My second stay here and would definitely return.

Charming hosts who took great care of us in clean if slightly funky digs. Very glad to have found this place to stay for our visit from the highlands!
The English Breakfast served daily during my three day stay was prepared perfectly. The room was clean and quiet for sleeping after a long flight. The staff was super friendly upon arrival and check-in was seamless. I would recommend others to stay at this hidden gem in Nairn.

We had a lovely stay at Aurora, check in was seem less, the lady that greeted us is the owner along with her husband, very nice, hardworking couple. The building is a bit older, parking in the lot is tricky but on the street no problem. The food at the restaurant was excellent.
Great little place. Italian dinner in the evening, delicious breakfast in the am. Good value for the money. I couldn’t figure out how to set the proper temp for the shower but I think that was on me. Convenient location to downtown and the beach. Would happily stay here again
Our stay at this hotel was great , lovely staff and looked us. The meal was second to none.would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly staff, great service in restaurant and great food. Hotel and room were clean and well appointed. The hotel is nice, but decor is lived in and slightly overdue a refresh, though by no means scruffy.
The proprietors were very lovely and helped us navigate around Nairn since we were only in town for one night. Dinner at the restaurant was also very good!
Nice little hotel and restaurant with a small bar. Good Italien cuisine and beer, very friendly staff.
They even managed to get us a low-fare cab to the airport the next day, thank you!
The owners were exceptionally friendly.
The room was big and airy with comfortable bed and excellent bathroom/shower.
Breakfast was very good with a good choice.
Overall very good value for money!
The only downside was our room was quite noisy as it overlooked the main road.
Would certainly stay again(with a different room!)
Friendly and accommodating staff. Great location and a great restaurant. Roadside rooms are a little noisy with traffic and some noise from the restaurant below (it closes at nine so the noise after hours was a bit surprising).
