This is our Best Value pick in Inverness. It suits couples, solo travellers, families and business visitors who want a 4-star hotel in the city centre at a mid-range price. The property lists a gym, a restaurant, family rooms, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a terrace. Our data tags it as pet-friendly.
Skip it if you want the calmest riverside setting and top-tier service, and can pay for them. That is the role of our Luxury pick. If you need breakfast and parking included in one price, check the rate carefully, because guests report both as extras.
Location and getting around
The address is Glebe Street, in Inverness City Centre. Guests describe a central setting by the river, a short walk from shops and transport links. The location sub-score is 9.3.
Inverness Castle is about 0.7 km away, around 9 minutes on foot, and Inverness Cathedral about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. Both are easy walks. Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
The score is 8.9 out of 10 from 2,170 reviews, a large sample. On review score it ranked joint second of the 7 eligible properties we compared.
Guests like the riverside location close to shops and transport. They also describe the staff as friendly and professional, with warm, helpful service. The main criticism is cost on top of the room. Standards are rated high, but guests mention extra charges for parking and breakfast.
