Top Inverness Hotel Reviews

Craigmonie Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

Craigmonie Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and accommodating staff!"

Kingsmills Hotel

Kingsmills Hotel

8/10 Good

"We’ve stayed at Kingsmill a number of times before and have always had an enjoyable stay. The rooms are consistently tidy and clean, and the bathrooms are immaculate. That said, the bedrooms themselves could probably do with a little freshening up, and we were surprised that there were no fridges in the rooms, which seems unusual for a hotel of this standard. The staff are all very friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was really enjoyable, with a great choice of both cooked and continental options. The pool and leisure facilities were the one area where we felt slightly let down. While the pool, sauna and steam room are all perfectly adequate, the facilities as a whole feel like they could do with some updating. In particular, the changing rooms are looking rather tired and would definitely benefit from a complete revamp. Overall, we still enjoyed our stay and would happily return, but the leisure facilities and bedrooms could use some investment to bring them up to the standard we would expect from the hotel."

Beaufort Hotel

Beaufort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean, boutique hotel. The room was small as expected. The highlight was the bar which gave us somewhere to relax at the end of the day. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly, but they are stretched thin. At night, one person managed the registration desk and the bar. In the morning, I think it was 1 or 2 people managing breakfast and the registration desk (not counting maintenance and kitchen staff). The staff was friendly, but not necessarily knowledgeable about common tourist destinations."
