Top Merkinch Hotel Reviews

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean room. Comfortable beds. Excellent location downtown. We walked to everything downtown we wanted to see!!!"

Kingsmills Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. The majority of the staff was very helpful and attentive. We had a couple of minor inconveniences, such as the room was not prepared when we arrived. We had requested 2 beds and it was made with one. We had to request twice for it to be made up properly before it was done. (The housekeeping staff was very apologetic.) For the cost, more than $550/night, the view out the large lovely window was of the parking lot. :( And we had hoped for a historic hotel as that is what we searched for, and the main hotel was lovely and historic, but we were housed out in the newer spa building across the parking lot. Nice and clean, but not historic. Also, it’s a bit of a walk to the city center. About 20-25 minutes walk."

Craigmonie Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay, but there were a few things that could have been better. The hotel did not have laundry service or laundry facilities. No A/C and the bathroom was very small. There were not enough places to hang towels and robes, no counter space (just the sink basin), and nowhere to put shower items, so we had to put them on the floor. There were plenty of electrical outlets, though. It was close to town, about a 20-minute walk, which was ok except when it was raining. The bus stop is a few minutes away but the bus only comes once an hour. Overall, we had a really nice stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful."
