The town of Nairn is lovely, we were able to walk around in the evenings and enjoyed a walk along the beach. The hotel staff was great, lovely family atmosphere. We had the large room which was very comfortable for a family of 4. We also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant which was excellent.

Excellent value

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!)

I thoroughly enjoyed my short stay in the Aurora hotel, friendly staff, my single room was quiet, clean, cosy and comfortable. Hotel in a central location and I had no problem with parking. I had dinner and breakfast both cooked freshly and I will definitely recommend people to visit and I’ll be returning soon

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was very cold at night time, the heating had come on earlier but not for long. The toilet had toilet paper in it when I arrived and it was difficult to flush anything due to a pump being fitted to the toilet which didn't work well and was extremely noisy for adjacent rooms I would suspect. The toilet had a bad draft due to a sizeable hole in the flooring beside the sink pedestal. Staff were all great though and location was good also.

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.

Best little Italian in Nairn

Great spot, the room was comfortable and had toiletries too, I had a meal downstairs and it was a massive portion! Too much to be honest.
