Top Scottish Highlands Hotel Reviews

The Caledonian Hotel

8/10 Good

"All of the staff at the Caledonian were very friendly & helpful. They went out of their way to chat even when exceptionally busy."

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

10/10 Excellent

"This was a nice stay near the center of town on the river. I'd definitely stay there again. There is ample parking (paid) behind the building which is important. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night and the food was bland. Breakfasts were good. We didn't get a chance to do the distillery and brewery tour, maybe next time."

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The Pearle Oban is right in the heart of the city...beautiful view overlooking the water. Accessible to all sights by walking and plenty of restaurants in the area. I am not sure why there is no outlet in the bathrooms; it does make it difficult to blow dry your hair...lol The staff was fabulous; held our luggage for a day while we took an overnight trip to Isle of Mull. Great breakfast spread that was included. Loved our stay in Scotland!"

River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"The bed was extremely comfortable in the room the air conditioner was nice and cool. Kept us very chilly during the night didn’t turn off. the rooms and building was very clean. The staff was welcoming and kind and very helpful. Absolutely a lovely experience."

The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel

8/10 Good

"We liked the location. Bed was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good. Staff were friendly. Hallways carpets need renovation."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Location of the hotel is great. It is an old property but all said and done it came on the right side of the charming/ run down divide. Has been updated and does not feel old in most respects. The major drawback for me was very weak WiFi and a bare bones TV. For many, a large tub and good hot and cold water supply in addition to handheld shower and rain shower is going to be a plus.If you need a Laundry, a self serve and full service laundry is literally on the same block so that could be a major plus, as it was for us on a long trip through Highlands"

The Garrison

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bien situado el hotel, se puede caminar al centro de la ciudad, el parqueo enfrente del hotel, la habitación demasiado pequeña para una pareja teníamos problema de donde poner las maletas por lo demás muy bien"

Bracken Hide Hotel

8/10 Good

"Each room is a self-contained unit like an ADU with a bedroom and a bathroom. The only downside that we did not know about was that you have to hike up a hill to get to your “hide”. That feature might limit the appeal to older visitors. The units themselves were perfectly nice and comfortable."

Westlands of Pitlochry
