Top Inverness Hotel Reviews

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

10/10 Excellent

"A very modern hotel in a brewery and distillery. A great and beautiful location on the River Ness, convenient to the city center. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet - perfect for travelers who explore Inverness and the rest of the Highlands."

Ardross Glencairn

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed my stay - comfortable bed and quiet. As a vegetarian, would have liked option of veggie sausages, so I could enjoy the cooked breakfast more. Very handy for Eden Court Theatre."

The Royal Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location for traveling by train"

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."

Loch Ness Clansman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is right across from Loch Ness. Main level is a gift shop and a small print shop, along with bathrooms for the bus groups that arrive for the Jacobite Boat tours, so it does get very busy during the day. Check-in along with the rooms are on the second level and there is a lift. The bar/restaurant are across from the front desk, with large windows over looking Loch Ness. The dinner menu is awesome and so are the breakfast's. Inverness is only 15-20 min up the road way and is a nice city to walk around. I can’t say enough about the Loch Ness Clansmen Hotel along with its staff."

Waverley Guest House

8/10 Good

"First class customer service"

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Columba Hotel! The staff was friendly & helpful. The room was clean & cozy. The bed & pillows were really comfortable . We’ve been to other hotels where the pillows were ultra thin. Sounds silly , but the thin pillows affected my sleeping. One thing I loved was how peaceful the rooms were, you couldn’t hear other guests. We also had a great view of the river."

Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little place! We had a wonderful experience. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, comfortable and had great amenities. Highly suggest a stay!"

Beaufort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Chief Chambers Suite is exquisite! Comfy king size bed plus pull out sofa chairs for my son. Elegant furnishings. Gorgeous bathroom with jacuzzi tub and oversized rainfall shower. Staff is friendly and helpful."
