Top Lochend Hotel Reviews

Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was fine, clean and functional, though the window doesn’t open so it was a bit stuffy. Also, there is no soundproofing in the walls so you will hear what’s going on in the next room. This is an expensive area and this place is one of the cheaper hotels. The restaurant food was variable. The salmon on pea risotto was very good while the lemon tart was very forgettable. The staff were very good."

"the hotel was clean and tidy but needs upgrading in the future like most hotels this age. the hotel is in good location for the town centre. The bedroom was a good size but unable to open any windows. The tv was hard to get local programs and streaming channels. Overall we would stay again as we new the age of the property when we booked."

"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."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Lochend is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious travellers looking for cheap hotels in Lochend, focusing on areas slightly outside the immediate city centre, such as the eastern fringes or neighbourhoods with excellent public transport links, will yield the best value.

It's well-connected to the city centre by frequent bus services, making sightseeing straightforward. Solo travellers will find plenty of independent cafes, quirky shops, and waterfront walks along the Shore, often at a lower cost than in more central areas.Alternatively, for those prioritising quick access to the city centre and its attractions, consider areas just a short bus ride away from Lochend, such as those around Meadowbank or further west towards Gorgie.
