B&B HOTEL Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfortable room, generous breakfast"

Waverley Guest House

8/10 Good

"This was a great place for us to stay because of its location very close to the train station, restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The loud music from the nearby bars was bothersome, but we were willing to put up with that because of the location, and they stopped about one o’clock. Breakfast was mainly bread. They do have a washer and dryer available after 6. And they stored our luggage until we could leave."

Craigmonie Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"We were warmly welcomed by Callum at reception and were directed to our room. This room was very warm and had a radiator we couldn’t turn off. We went back to reception and were offered another room which was just perfect. The pool and steam room were an added bonus for us and we used them on both days we were there. The woman in the bar on Saturday night was very friendly and helpful and made us and other guests there feel very welcome. We will certainly look at booking this hotel when we next visit Inverness"

Ardross Glencairn

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay! Breakfast ($) was good and filling for everyone. The room was spacious, and offered sleeping space plus a desk to work while away. Overall very lovely, although a staff member entered our room early in the morning, while we were sleeping on the last day, waking us up. That was not ok."
