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!

    A small but very charming city.

    A small but very charming city. After 3 days, we already knew the streets of the city center, could walk around, and reach our favorite café or restaurant without a map. Cute shops, and good restaurants. We didn't enter the cathedral because there was a £2 entrance fee, and we didn't have cash on hand. We also booked a 1-day tour and visited Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, and Glen Affric - following in the footsteps of some of the locations that inspired the creators of the Outlander series. I highly recommend such a tour; it was a beautiful day, and we discovered places we wouldn't have been able to visit otherwise without such a tour or renting a car. Three days in Inverness (especially in winter) are more than enough. Have fun!

    I liked the Victorian Food market, reasonable price and good range of food - great dumplings, Asian food, as well as sea food. I liked walking around the river to Ness island. I enjoyed walking around the canal.

    Lovely city. Friendly. Easy to walk around. Beautiful walks along the river. Castle is currently closed due to ongoing work. Bus and train station make city links easy but a car recommended if you want to visit round about, or further afield. Perfect place for a quiet getaway.

My wife could not believe it as we went to see a couple of properties in the area & a few beers & was not behaving bad or drunk? & had the nerve to put on a service charge of £5.55

    Its a bit tired and grubby.

    Its a bit tired and grubby. There are few independent shops - just all the big chains. The parking in the town centre is reasonably priced but the road layout is tricky. The under cover car parks at the main shopping centre in town is a nightmare. Please get the exits signposted to prevent a lot of driving round in circles. People are nice. The old Victorian covered market is nice but the main shopping district is disappointing. There's a fantastic church at the Inshes Retail Park. If you're there on a Sunday try it.

    Location was great, staff were super nice and welcoming, bed was very comfy and we slept great. Street outside was very noisy, Saturday night but soundproofing was super so you could only hear the loudest screamers faintly - good combo of being able to step out right into the action but also being able to escape the mayhem. Also the other patrons were nice, nobody loud and drunk at late hours (I think the first hotel we've stayed at in Scotland where this was the case). Nice bathroom, very clean. Would definitely stay again.

    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.

    It’s hard to find adequate words to describe how much my husband and I loved staying at Ness Lodge. The hosts are absolutely fantastic! Zoe made a dinner reservation for us at the Drumossie Hotel and it was our favorite meal experience in Scotland. I recommend taking their food recommendations to heart because they know their stuff! The home was so cozy, modern, and beautiful that we never wanted to leave! Ness Lodge is a must-stay if you’re in Inverness. You won’t find a better place!

    Excellent, better than expected. Fantastic, quiet location, at the same time close to amazing attractions, including castles, mountains, forest walks, Loch Ness, Inverness city centre, etc. The cabin is clean, well maintained and equiped, including all the basics like tea and coffee, some games, dvds and a big box of lego our children enjoyed playing with. Great, helpful and friendly hosts. Amazing place for a family holiday in Scotland! Highly recommended.

    It was the best hostel I have been in my long travel through Scotland. Good relation quality/price, and in the center of Inverness, near the Castle. I was in a room for four, clean, comfortable, with space. Shared bathroom are very good, modern and clean. I did not used the other facilities. They have space where to leave lugage between checkout and gone... and the rest room is so nice! Definitely, a place to choose in Inverness.

    Joyce and Alan were wonderful hosts. We felt very welcome and “at home”. They told us a lot about Scotland that we didn’t know and we also laughed a lot, which is always a good thing. The artwork (wall art and wood carvings of birds) is outstanding. Why not a perfect score? Nobody believes perfect scores. This is an honest review that you can believe. You won’t be disappointed.

    The house was of a really lovely standard, very clean and a great location just outside Inverness. Great surprise of a small park outside for the kids to play on. The house had all the amenities and equipment you would need for a really comfortable stay, couldn’t really fault it at all. The comms with the owner was always great too. Would definitely use again when we decide to return to Scotland!

    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.

The host was so kindly to offer us the hearty home-made Scottish breakfast and even allowed us to use their laundry machine - which we sincerely appreciated.
