8/10 Good
"The River Ness Hotel is in a great location! One block away from the River Ness right in the heart of town. A convenient 8 minute walk from the train station! Hotel is very clean! Room was very clean. We were lucky enough to be on the 3rd floor with a view of the river outside our window. The on-site restaurant offers a lot of variety of foods to include breakfast. Staff was very accommodating! Highly recommend when starting in Inverness!"
