In need of serious tic. broken doors to the shower, cracked wash hand basin, torn bath mat, torn curtain. Need I say more about our bed room. Grass growing out of the gutters resulting in choked down pipes. Stayed there for 4 nights and main toilets next to the lounge out of action all the time. This hotel needs a total revamp and is certainly not 4 star. Won’t be going there again.

Bed great. Shower so-so. No shower, get in bathtub for shower. No grab bars--a must for older visitors. No coffee making apparatus in room. Breakfast NOT included in price. Mostly though, it is an old building and, while clean, it has that old building musty wet smell. Big time. Everything a bit wet and sticky to the touch. But, it was a bed on short notice. Would look for alternatives a bit more aggressively in the future.

We were touring around and this was a great location, with the beaches of Nairn nearby and good connections to travel wider afield to Inverness and Loch Ness in one direction and Aviemore in the other. The facilities were what you'd expect and we enjoyed the bar and dining in the restaurant on both nights we stayed there - excellent food and service. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, with our many questions about places to go etc. It was also fascinating to learn about the link with Charlie Chaplin, and I would happily stay there again.

Disappointing - not a 4 star hotel I’ve been coming to Nairn for over 20 years and this is my first time staying in the Muthu Newton hotel. We were given a courtyard room which was outdated, mouldy, unclean and generally in need of a major refurb. We paid £165 per night for a room barely worth £30 per night. We spoke to the receptionist about moving rooms. They consulted the manager who said we would need to pay an extra £10 per night to change rooms. We emphasised we were not wanting an upgrade - our room was frankly unclean, not up to standard and finally we were able to change rooms without charge. We were moved to a room in the main building which was better, but still not to the standard of a 4 star hotel. It still wasn’t particularly clean, the towels smelled and generally needed updated. The staff at breakfast were friendly and helpful, but the breakfast was poor and not cooked well. This hotel has the potential to be beautiful, particularly with the location, but desperately needs a major refurb across the entirety of the hotel.

The overall condition was shabby from the faulty electrical standard lamp to the high drier plus the bathroom towels were not changed every day even though I informed reception this is not what we expected from a 4 Star rated Hotel.

Looked great when booked but in reality it's in need of some upgrades. We were in the courtyard room which was Ok. Waiting and bar staff were great but let down by poorly cooked steak. Might be an off night as there was a coach tour. I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

It was perfectly good for the price, but in truth the hotel needs some updating. Nice and quite, and an easy walk into town for some other food options.

It’s been about a week since I’ve stayed at this Muthu hotel and I still have not heard from the manager for them to make it right, so here’s my honest review: first off, don’t be fooled by the pictures. Whoever is doing their marketing should be fired because they are just lying to potential customers. The pictures all over the internet, including their website and Expedia, display a beautiful and spacious room with elegant, updated furniture. What we got was a room in the “cottages,” where the rooms were teeny tiny, dirty, and the room needed a desperate update. The outside of the hotel is beautiful and although the furniture in the main hotel building may have been more tacky than elegant, it was nowhere near what our room looked. The first thing we noticed was that the “cottage” building needed an update, as we walked into the dark and dingy hallway to our room. Not only was the light in the hallway out, but we also noticed that the Ubuntu wifi router was out as well. We had ZERO wifi in our room. As I mentioned earlier, the room was dirty. How dirty? Dirty that we found a bed bug. By the time we found it, it was late at night and we were only there for one night (thank god). We mentioned all of this during our check out. The front desk girl took a picture of the picture I took of the bed big we had found. She said she would send it to her manager. I still have not heard back from the manager and I find this to be really unprofessional. At least reach out and apologize….
