We stayed in the self-catering apartments and they were wonderful. It was nice to have the space since we were a large group staying at the hotel. It was a great "home-base" to hang out, watch movies, etc. after coming home from dinner and the bar. The hotel bar was also so fun and the bartenders were so nice!

FAQs about hotels in Inverness








Gateway to the Highlands and Loch Ness

A jewel with historic buildings and charming streets, Inverness is surrounded by a typical Scottish Highland landscape. It is located 10 km from Loch Ness, along the mouth of the Ness River and the Moray Firth coast. It is regarded as the northernmost city in the United Kingdom, and capital of the Highlands.

Take a walk around the Old Town, visit St Andrew’s Cathedral, and make a stopover in the charming Victorian Market. The Old High St Stephen's Church is the oldest building in town, and has been a religious site since pre-Christian times.

The Inverness Castle overlooks the river and is nowadays the seat of the Sheriff Court. A hotel in Inverness city centre is ideal to enjoy the different cultural and recreational activities in town.

Watch the Atlantic salmon jumping out the river near the Ness Islands, and try to catch a glimpse of the famous monster of Loch Ness. The Cairngorms National Park is 40 km away, and Chanonry Point is the best spot to watch dolphins, just 24 km away.

Inverness hotels include a large offer of small, cosy guest houses, B&B’s, and rural cottages, allowing a closer contact with the nature. Don’t miss the Inverness accommodation deals on Booking.com!

    Good shopping centre, great riverside walks, historic buildings ( we didn't get chance to visit) and visiting loch Ness, this is 20minute bus ride away, personally I would recommend viewing from the bus as the cruise was nice but not good value for money.

    It's an amazing city!

    It's an amazing city! It's so beautiful, not big and crowdy, but at the same time you can find so many things to do there. There are lots of places for a nice walk: along the river Ness, city center, Caledonial canal, woods. Loch Ness is just 20 minutes drive, castles, beaches are all not far. The Botanical garden is small but really nice and it's free! I enjoyed to visit Eden Court every evening - to watch a cinema or for a concert. There are lot of nice restaurants. The Dolphin spirit boat trip was astonishing as well! Really recommend to visit

    Everything was within walking distance of the apartment.

    Everything was within walking distance of the apartment. The walk along the Banks of the River and across the bridges was exceptional particularly with the spring flowers adorning the flower beds and banks. Views to the Castle and the Cathedral made for beautiful photographs. If it's nightlife you're after plenty of pubs offering live entertainment of a high standard. Choice of eateries to suit every pocket and every cuisine. No need to hire a car, as the bus station offers buses to a wide range of tourist destinations, Culloden, Nairn, Aberdeen, Skye and Glasgow to name only a few. We will definitely return to this vibrant friendly city. Shopping is also good both for tourist gifts and also for the shopping Mall experience in the Eastgate Centre. Maybe next time weather permitting we may see the Northern Lights? This city will leave you feeling you've had a break and enjoyed the walking experience.

    The sheer cleanliness and organised nature of the rooms. It’s few minutes on the road of entry to Inverness. Parking is available and the breakfast is good. But the best part of it all is that the hosts are the friendliest people we met in Scotland. We had a flight at 7am in the morning and getting a taxi at 4am would’ve been very difficult. So, when I expressed my concerns to them, they offered to drop us to the airport. And eventually he arrived at 4.30am and dropped us to the airport.

    I’ve stayed in 4 hotels this week in my trip across Scotland and this was by far head and shoulders above the rest, from the second we pulled into the car park we were flagged down and allocated a parking spot directly in front of the doors, offered a glass of champagne while we checked in, the room was stunning and every member of staff couldn’t do enough for you, location was nice as well as it was only a small walk up the river into the centre, brilliant experience thank you

    This is a lovely cottage adjacent to the River Ness in Inverness, yet it is private, peaceful & very well-equipped. It is ideal for a couple. We stayed for 2 nights as part of a road trip through Scotland & wish that we had been able to spend 4 nights, as the cabin is beautiful & well-equipped & there is lots to do in Inverness. Zoe, the owner, is WONDERFUL! She is smart, creative, informed & has a marvelous sense of humor! You will love your stay at Wee Ness Lodge.

    Full Scottish breakfast was the best in Scotland and there were many other breakfast options. The host cooked a hot breakfast for us early in the morning before our reserved tour to the Isle of Skye. The host couple were very friendly and kind. They also allowed luggage storage after check-out. The room was clean and cosy. We also liked the host's list of recommendations in Inverness.

Also, it's a delight to see classy biscuits on the tea tray which also allows for more than one cup of tea/coffee, instead of the usual cheap and easy style of other hotels I've visited so far in Inverness.
