Aye Stay

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location in quiet street walking distance to center of town. Room was small but very clean with cozy bed."

Ardross Glencairn

10/10 Excellent

"great central location, easy to walk to many places. Clean quiet room. Loved the breakfast especially all of the dairy free options!"

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."

Waverley Guest House

8/10 Good

"First class customer service"

Premier Inn Inverness Centre - River Ness

8/10 Good

"Ideally located hotel with easy walking distance to the old part of town as well as the touristy high street. Great to have an elevator (lift) and proper HVAC vs. many other inns"

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."

"Lovely hotel staff very helpful also."

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

"The hotel is very close to the busy center of town and right across the street from the river. The room was clean and had more than adequate space for two. The hotel did not provide shampoo, so bring some. The breakfast buffet was filling."

The Royal Highland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Royal Highland Hotel is a great place to stay. It is an old building and retains the splendid character of its original design, both inside and out. The facilities are perfectly adequate, and it is an ideal place to stayi f connient"
