Essential Features of the Best Hotel Rooms

Brambles prides itself on having some of the most well-decorated, comfortable and cost-effective rooms in Inveraray and the West of Scotland. From our popular Standard King Rooms to the luxurious Superior Rooms, guests from all over the world have expressed nothing but positive feedback when it comes to how much they loved the rooms at Brambles.

With all this in mind, Brambles wants to take you through the essential features that we believe the best rooms in the greatest hotels in the West of Scotland should have. We’re sure you will agree with the features we’ve chosen below.

A Premium High-Quality Bed




You stay at a hotel not to spend your days there, but to rest and recuperate so you can get back to enjoying your time in Inveraray feeling energetic and well-rested. Knowing this, you wouldn’t choose a hotel that didn’t invest in comfy beds that you can sleep easy in.

Both of Brambles most popular room types are furnished with only premium beds that will be pleasure to rest in. They look great, and they feel great, and soon you’ll know why.

Lovely Decor


Having great room décor enhances and makes the look and feel of the room you are staying in. Guests don’t want to spend their nights and early mornings in a bland room with no character, they want to stay in a quality room that makes them feel comfortable and welcome.

It’s not usually the theme or colour of the décor that matters, but the indication that time and effort have genuinely gone into making that room something special, something Brambles has always striven for.

Perfect Lighting



People often overlook lighting when it comes to a hotel room, that is until they experience a hotel room with bad lighting levels. It’s about having the right level of lighting and having the light sources in the right place.

Too much lighting and the room will always be too bright during the waking hours, not enough and it can be difficult to get anything done. By having enough lights of the right intensity in well-placed locations, guests find that they appreciate their rooms more and find it more convenient.

Spotless En-Suite Bathrooms



Whether the bathroom contains a bath or shower, guests almost always prefer having an en-suite bathroom, it’s more hygienic and it’s more private. Not having an en-suite bathroom can just make a stay less convenient overall.

Having a spotless bathroom with all expected amenities is the way to go when it comes to rooms with everything guests need and want.

Why You Should Book Your Hotel Stay Directly

Millions of people go on holiday breaks every year and find themselves needing to book a hotel for themselves and/or their family. While many will quickly jump to hotel price comparison websites to try and find a good deal, this often isn’t the best way to book your stay with a hotel.

Booking directly with your hotel of choice is almost always a better option than booking through a third-party, below we’re going to show you why.

Get the Best Deals Directly



Most hotels do prefer it when their customers book with them directly, rather than through another website or agent. Because of this preference, many hotels offer their best deals to those who come straight to them, you would be surprised at how many people who find out they could’ve got a better room or a cheaper tariff if they had just contacted their chosen hotel.

Always make sure to get in touch with the hotel you are thinking about booking with, you might just find that they offer you a more competitive tariff than your price-comparison website shows.

Avoid Booking Mistakes



When it comes down to it, the people working at these third-party price comparison websites are only human, and thus they are prone to mistakes. Dealing with dates, times and prices of so many people every day, bookings are bound to be inaccurate some of the time. By booking directly, you can minimise the chance of your booking going wrong or details being taken down inaccurately.

Not only will this give you peace of mind, it also means that it’s easier to change details and such when you’ve made direct contact with your hotel of choice. Brambles of Inveraray is always there to hear you out if some of your booking details need to be amended before you come to stay with us.

Get the Extras You Want



Most hotels offer extra services to make your stay that bit more personalised, such as having a newspaper brought up to your room every day as an example. There can be two problems with these kinds of extras when it comes to booking through a third-party website. Either you can end up not being asked about whether you want these extras or not and end up having to pay more for unwanted extras, or you can end up not getting the extras you want.

To ensure you always get exactly the services you want, all upfront and clear, make sure you deal with a hotel directly. It’s the best way for both customers and the establishment to know exactly what is expected of your stay.

Secure Payment



While most of the well-known hotel comparison websites are usually safe to deal with, always be wary of who you are sharing your details with. It’s not impossible that a website that isn’t well-established could be fishing for card details, and that could cause you a whole lot of trouble.

To avoid this risk completely, we advise again that you deal with hotel and accommodation providers directly. In this way, you can be sure your payment is going directly to the people you know you are booking with.

Which is Best? Inveraray Hotels or Guesthouses?

Anyone who has planned a visit to somewhere like Inveraray has likely researched some of the local Inveraray hotels and guesthouses who offer quality accommodation. However, most people don’t know the differences between a hotel and a guesthouse, many aren’t even aware that there is a difference!

Below we’ll take a look at some of the differences between Inveraray hotels and guesthouses to show the advantages of both.

24 Hour Access



One way that Inveraray hotels and guesthouses can sometimes be distinguished is by when they are accessible.

Hotels almost always tend to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This allows visitors to come and go as they please and check in when they feel like doing so. Naturally this is much more convenient for every guest as you don’t always know what time you’re going to come and go.

In contrast, a guesthouse sometimes is only open while the small number of staff are still there, unfortunately, this is not always 24 hours a day.

In the case of accessibility, an Inveraray hotel most certainly outclasses a possibly restrictive guesthouse.

Dedicated Staff



Another way in which Inveraray hotels may differ from guesthouses is the number of staff present who are dedicated to a specific role.

An Inveraray hotel will likely have more staff that are in uniform who perform specific duties, such as receptionists, waiters, porters, chefs and more. A guesthouse, on the other hand, may not have much staff, and they may be less likely to have specific roles. Instead, there may be a handful of staff who help in performing whatever roles need to be taken care of.

Again it would seem that an Inveraray hotel is a better choice when considering staff. If this is a particularly important aspect of accommodation for you, then an Inveraray hotel is for you.

Alcohol Licensing



A lot of people like to enjoy their stay with a drink in hand, especially at an Inveraray hotel where there’s a terrific selection of traditional Scottish whiskeys and ales. However, you may have to consider your accommodation carefully if you want to be served drinks at your accommodation.

Inveraray hotels almost always tend to have a license to sell alcohol on their premises, whereas guesthouses tend not to have. While it’s usually safe to assume a guesthouse will be able to serve you and your companions alcohol beverages, always double-check to avoid disappointment.

Once again, an Inveraray hotel is your best choice for drinking when it comes to being served drinks at your accommodation.

Ensure you get the stay you are looking for, check that your Inveraray hotel or guesthouse has the services you are looking for. If there’s anything you’d like to know about staying at the Brambles Inveraray Hotel, give us a call on 01499 302 252, or fill out or contact form online.
