Beaufort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were super friendly and helpful. Place was beautiful and clean. Very handy and within walking distance of the town centre."

B&B HOTEL Inverness

8/10 Good

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay very much. It was so conveniently located to everything. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We could occasionally hear people walking in the halls and above you but that was to be expected because of the historic nature of the building. It was charming and pleasant."

Ardross Glencairn

8/10 Good

"The guest house was conveniently located close enough to the train station but not in the city center which was a plus. Staff were helpful and the optional breakfast was very good and worth the price."

River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Great location. Staff was friendly and professional. Fantastic breakfast included !"

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

8/10 Good

"This property is in an awesome location! Directly on the river Ness. Charming neighborhood, staff very friendly and helpful. Only reason not 5 star across the board is the lack of provided toiletries (hair care products) and the distillery’s lack of brand products. Were told they not yet producing whisky? Anyway, the breakfast was amazing and overall experience was excellent!"

Black Isle Bar and Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Good place to stay while taking tours. It was nice to grab a pizza after a long tour. It is loud at night until the bars close down. Great location though!"

Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"Nous avons été un peu déçu d’avoir une chambre qui n’était pas rattaché à la bâtisse principale. L’insonorisation était médiocre. Tous le reste était parfait"
