Top Inverness Castle Hotel Reviews

Beaufort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great start to a wonderful vacation. Location is a quick walk to High Street. The bathtub in the Royal Suite was a great way to relax after a long flight."

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

8/10 Good

"This property is in an awesome location! Directly on the river Ness. Charming neighborhood, staff very friendly and helpful. Only reason not 5 star across the board is the lack of provided toiletries (hair care products) and the distillery’s lack of brand products. Were told they not yet producing whisky? Anyway, the breakfast was amazing and overall experience was excellent!"

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"classic historical hotel. Great location, walking distance to every thing we wanted to do and see in Inverness"

Black Isle Bar and Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Good place to stay while taking tours. It was nice to grab a pizza after a long tour. It is loud at night until the bars close down. Great location though!"

Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"Nous avons été un peu déçu d’avoir une chambre qui n’était pas rattaché à la bâtisse principale. L’insonorisation était médiocre. Tous le reste était parfait"

The Royal Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an old and historic building but could use some TLC. The food in the restaurant was good and location excellent."

B&B HOTEL Inverness

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location! 2 night stay. Nice room. Great buffet breakfast. My only issue was that I was not informed at checkin that the room would not be cleaned automatically. But I had enough towels and they took my rubbish away and provided extra sugars when I requested. They also pre booked a taxi for me. Thankyou."

Waverley Inn Apartments

8/10 Good

"Had the opportunity to stay in both the family apartment (fabulous) and unit #18 (cozy for one person,) but HORRIBLE bed creaky and lumpy both. Angie was very kind."

Highland Apartments By Mansley

10/10 Excellent

"Just a little noice between 11 pm and 3 am"
