Top Inverness Castle Hotel Reviews

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The best place to stay in Inverness"

Craigmonie Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and accommodating staff!"

Kingsmills Hotel

8/10 Good

"We’ve stayed at Kingsmill a number of times before and have always had an enjoyable stay. The rooms are consistently tidy and clean, and the bathrooms are immaculate. That said, the bedrooms themselves could probably do with a little freshening up, and we were surprised that there were no fridges in the rooms, which seems unusual for a hotel of this standard. The staff are all very friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was really enjoyable, with a great choice of both cooked and continental options. The pool and leisure facilities were the one area where we felt slightly let down. While the pool, sauna and steam room are all perfectly adequate, the facilities as a whole feel like they could do with some updating. In particular, the changing rooms are looking rather tired and would definitely benefit from a complete revamp. Overall, we still enjoyed our stay and would happily return, but the leisure facilities and bedrooms could use some investment to bring them up to the standard we would expect from the hotel."

B&B HOTEL Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"In a great location and the breakfast is worth it. I wish I had more time in Inverness"

Ardross Glencairn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay. Large clean room with tea and coffee. Amazing shower. 10-12 mins walk to station"

Highland Apartments By Mansley

8/10 Good

"Great location, right in the centre, with parking (NOT free, £15 / night, but it is secure). PROs: Flat is bigger than I expected, with great amenities, and some food provided. Very clean up arrival. Washing machine was useful. Great shower. Staff contacts were helpful and repsonsive. CONs: Does have a bit of wear and tear, which does not live up to the photos. Staff originally sent me the wrong door code, so I had to work that out (forgiveable of course). A little expensive it seems, but I did not in high season, so maybe that's to be expected. Overall, I recommend it."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff"

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

8/10 Good

"Great location on the river."

AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"Great shiny and new hotel with fantastic staff who were super friendly and helpful. Only a few minutes walk from the station so quiet and private location by the river. Room was great and had all mod concerns. Only downside was there was a fair bit of noise from building work happening on the external building but it was only in the daytime. Would happily stay there again."
