Top Inverness Hotel Reviews

Beaufort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Beaufort Hotel was charming, centrally located, and had wonderful staff. There is a darling bar and beautiful restaurant. Our room was quaint, but worked well for my husband and me. I highly recommend."

Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was fine, clean and functional, though the window doesn’t open so it was a bit stuffy. Also, there is no soundproofing in the walls so you will hear what’s going on in the next room. This is an expensive area and this place is one of the cheaper hotels. The restaurant food was variable. The salmon on pea risotto was very good while the lemon tart was very forgettable. The staff were very good."

Kingsmills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"the hotel was clean and tidy but needs upgrading in the future like most hotels this age. the hotel is in good location for the town centre. The bedroom was a good size but unable to open any windows. The tv was hard to get local programs and streaming channels. Overall we would stay again as we new the age of the property when we booked."

The Royal Highland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean, housekeeping was excellent and friendly. Staff were all very accommodating and friendly. Hotels ok’d and quaint which I loved. Everything was excellent. It is so close to everything. Good was great. Fantastic stay."

Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were here on vacation. The location was great, right by the river. The restaurant was good (they seem to dry-age their beef themselves). Staff very helpful, facility very clean. Only drawback, no elevator (which was only an issue with luggage, but staff offered to carry bags up for us). We'd happily come back."

Waverley Guest House

8/10 Good

"First class customer service"
