The food and wait staff were outstanding in every way! We stayed here for 3 nights and ate in the restaurant every night because the food options were as good as anywhere I've travelled.

Older hotel that needs love

This hotel was easy to find and street parking available. The town is very small and especially dead on a Sunday. The walls of the hotel were crumbling, so clearly old and needed some love, but the bed was comfortable. We ate dinner here also and did not find the quality to be the best. I would not eat there again.

Weathering the storm

It was good, nice staff very helpful, unfortunately I had a room which was into the wind during storm Floris and a fair bit of water came in above the bathroom window, I did report it but there was nothing that could be done at the time. Hopefully it will be fixed for future residents. Bistro food was very good and definately recommend the Fish and chips and Scallops 👍
Danny, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Mackays is in a good location near the harbour and within walking distance of the town. The room was clean and nicely decorated with all necessary amenities. I would recommend this hotel and stay again if we returned to Wick

Apartment stay

Staff very friendly & courteous. However, our appt was a little tired tho clean. The bathroom needs renewing. Damaged bath panel, antiquated shower and just generally neglected . Our friend’s apartment was completely the opposite - just as one would hope for.
Lyn, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Dog friendly but not clean

The hotel is very old but nice , food and service is excellent, the problem I feel is the carpet in a dog friendly room needs to be hard floors so deep cleaning can be done . Carpet and dogs is a no sorry . The apartment was very strange and dated . I did feel like the owner were going to walk in any second. I felt very uncomfortable there I couldn’t wait to leave

Ross, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had to book this very last minute due to an issue with the original accommodation so when we turned up they were still sorting out our room which was no problem but hotels.com actually had the wrong info listed on the website and the room didn’t have kitchen facilities as described. The lady who checked us in offered us the townhouse that they have instead, we had to pay extra but at this point we just wanted somewhere to stay so we paid it. The townhouse was actually wonderful, we felt so safe and comfortable unlike the previous place. Kitchen facilities were great, the bedrooms were lovely and comfortable and the courtyard was nice to have access to. The furniture and decor is dated and they still have a DVD and CD player, no Netflix etc on the TV so they could do with updating things especially for the money it cost for one night. Overall though it was very nice and we would happily stay there again and recommend to others.

8/10 Very good

The staff and food were excellent. We were well-looked after. Whilst the decor and amenities are a little old-fashioned and tired, it is a very "honest" place.
