Top Inverness Hotel Reviews

Mercure Inverness Hotel

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

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."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

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."
