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!

    We only used Inverness as a central location for activities that we carry out i.e. following a Steam Train that was visiting the area so had no reason to visit anywhere in Inverness except for a couple of local eateries.

    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.

    Inverness is a great place to stay to take trips from, however not a great deal to do in Inverness itself. There is a lovely little botanical garden but took less than an hour to look round. The museum was dedicated to mostly the Jacobite period and taxidermy didn't spend too much time there, but they did have an exhibition on for bird photographer of the year which was amazing. Have a look round leaky's bookshop it full of old books you'd not find anywhere else. Old Victoria market also had some lovely shops. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Buses very confusing making self travel hard.

    Emma and Josef are excellent hosts! Really wonderful people and enjoyed chatting with them! They were very organised and also very flexible to meet our needs. Breakfast was wonderful and there were so many choices! Emma was a real dear to cater for my wife's allergies. The room was very spacious, comfortable and with a good view of the nearby countryside. The area is very quiet and peaceful and also close to Culloden Moor, Inverness and other locations with a car. We would definitely stay here if we visit Scotland again!

    If you want to experience a piece of Scotland, then stay at this property. It's a family hunting lodge converted to a B&B. The host goes above and beyond to accommodate, is super engaging and interesting. The property was originally built in the 1800's and added on since and has all the modern conveniences and stylishly decorated. Breakfast was amazing - you won't need to eat until dinner. We had fresh baked goods upon arrival and fresh bread for breakfast. My only disappointment is that we only booked one night.

    property was clean, modern with everything we needed. owners were away but instructions to arrive were perfect and they sent their daughter to ensure everything was good. Owners knew we were arriving in a Sunday and offered to book us a table at a hotel within walking distance. was a blessing after a long driving day. Fridge came stocked with essentials to make coffee and breakfast day 1, truly a big surprise and really appreciated. Best accommodation so far in Scotland.

    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.

    Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood. Easy, short walk to downtown. Great breakfast was included. Host family could not be nicer. They even picked me up when I got a bit turned around walking there from the train station! Inverness is a lovely city, very close to the Culloden Battlefield, the terrible aftermath of which is why so many Scots left Scotland for America, N. Ireland, etc. Well worth visiting!

    The Chieftain was amazing. From the staff, to the room, to the pub, it was all a great experience. We have been bouncing around Scotland for a little over a week and my kids think Inverness was by far their favorite place. The Chieftain had a lot to do with that. Also, the Hop On-Hop Off bus tour has a stop right across the street!
