Top Inverness Castle Hotel Reviews

B&B HOTEL Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel! Great location close to the train station and lots of shops/ resturaunts near the hotel."

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

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

Craigmonie Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little spot close to inverness. Room was comfy and clean and bathroom was recently refurbed."

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

10/10 Excellent

"Just on the outskirts of downtonw and right on the river. Fantastic location to walk the town."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and beds comfortable. The hallways/doors were very dirty. They need to assign a dedicated staff to do cleaning and maintenance every once and awhile. Scrub the doors, touch up the paint. The doors were so dirty I didn’t like touching them to open them. The staff/ reception was wonderful and helpful in every way. The rooms don’t have many amenities, just a kettle. We didn’t purchase breakfast here because the continental was only coffee and cereal, no toast or fruit. You had to order the full hot breakfast if you wanted a simple toast breakfast, the price vs value was not comparable to other hotels continental offerings. The location was perfect! Across from the castle, short walks to everything, and the bus around the corner if you’re a traveller. Lastly they have a late 11am checkout. All in all I was happy with the hotel."

River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, good sized room, friendly staff"

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."

Highland Apartments By Mansley

10/10 Excellent

"Check in and access codes was a little confusing for me at first because of all the apps & online stuff you do now days but the # you call for assistance someone was always helpful, basically did not have any problems just my lack of understanding process"

Kingsmills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great, good food and beautiful property."
