Top Inverness Castle Hotel Reviews

Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotels Distinctive

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel, the parking is a little tight with only 22 spaces, breakfast can be improved it was cold and the porridge wasn't the best, staff were very helpful The hotel is in a great location with the river Ness and castle infront of it"

Beaufort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely old hotel with all modern conveniences. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The free onsite parking is a bonus if you rent a car for touring the surrounding area. Inverness is a terrific hub for the east side of the Highlands, and the Beaufort is an ideal base, also within short walking distance of the city centre. Recommended: book breakfast in advance for a better deal."

B&B HOTEL Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in a great location. Easy walk to dining, shopping and excursion pickup points. Rooms were nice and staff was very friendly."

Mercure Inverness Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Mercure was a great hotel, and the location was wonderful for walking around the city. Being right along the river was fantastic! The only downside was that parking was quite tight and fairly expensive. However, considering how challenging parking was in general, we appreciated being able to park right in front of the hotel. Our other issue was with the temperature of our first-floor room on the first night. The windows couldn't be opened due to safety concerns, as they opened onto the roof, which we completely understood. However, the room was incredibly hot, and even one shower made it feel like a sauna. Coming from Canada, we didn't find the outdoor temperature cold at all, but the hotel had the heating on for other guests. That said, the front desk was very accommodating and moved us to a fourth-floor room for our second night, where we could open the windows. This made an incredible difference! The views were great, and both rooms we stayed in were clean and comfortable. Overall, we had a great stay and appreciated the staff's help in making our second night much more comfortable."

Kingsmills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is situated in a beautiful area but you need to walk 15-20 minutes to the center of town. There is no bus service. The hotel is great for golfers but doesn’t offer many amenities to non- golfers. There is only one restaurant."

Highland Apartments By Mansley

8/10 Good

"Check in requires an app which we were not made aware of booking via Expedia. If it were not for another guest letting us know I don’t know how we would have got in. Calls and messages to Mansley are still unanswered. Expedia and Mansley need to communicate better. Get the Mansley app before going! There is no help on site. Nice apartment with great location."

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great room, great location, great staff, all around great place."

AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness

8/10 Good

"A nice hotel with friendly staff and clean rooms, what the hotel fails to tell you is there is ongoing construction with over half of the hotel covered in scaffolding. There is workers walking up and down the hallways from 0800-1600, in the lift which is small, walking through reception, the carpark is full of construction equipment so you have to park across the road that cost £10 a day. What annoyed me was the lack of information on the construction and the parking. It would be a 5 Stars if it wasn’t for the construction and the lack of information about the construction."
