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!

Easy to get to city whether travelling by road, rail, bus and air (air port slightly out of Inverness). We travelled by train and we had lunch in the Ash Restaurant next to the railway station as we had time to kill before we got into our apartment and food was excellent. We also visited the Palace hotel for afternoon tea which was also good. Plenty of eateries, pubs and shops
EdithUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Inverness is perfect for a holiday where you want to...
Inverness is perfect for a holiday where you want to prioritize gentleness, quiet, & rest but balanced with time outdoors & access to general amenities (restaurants, pubs, historic sites, etc). Ease of access to the rest of the highlands (and numerous day tour options for the Isle of Skye) are a definite plus for those wanting to go further afield.Thompson - 10Scored 10
Inverness is a lovely place and ideally situated to go off...
Inverness is a lovely place and ideally situated to go off and explore Loch Ness. The city itself has plenty to see and do with some lovely eating and drinking establishments. The people were warm and friendly and it felt particularly safe when out walking at night. We were there to take part in the Etape Loch Ness which is a cycling challenge around the entire Loch Ness and up in to the mountains. It was perfectly organised and an event i'd thoroughly recommend doing. The walks along the river and around the small islands on the river are really lovely and you are ideally placed for exploring the beautiful countryside that surrounds Inverness.. we will definitely be going back again.

Lovely location with river walks, shops and eateries in walking distance, and wonderful tours to all the most interesting and beautiful sites/sights. I would recommend Jacobite cruise and Rabbies tours, Whisk Away for gf cake and The Wee Bar for lovely food and friendly staff.JenniferUnited Kingdom - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.AlistairUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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.

- 9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 77 reviewsThis 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.terryUnited States of America

Rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, every taste catered, be it fresh fruit salad, yogurt or porridge to a full cooked breakfast. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this cosy and comfortable guest house just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Inverness.

- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 699 reviewsOur favorite place we stayed during our 10 day Scotland trip by far. Beautiful home, great location, room and bathroom were beautifully decorated and large!! Our host, Joan, couldn’t have been nicer. She messaged us restaurants ahead of time and suggested making a reservation because they get so crowded, which we did and it was perfect! Could easily walk there and all around the town. Really great breakfast too with fruit even!! Perfect stay!KathyUnited States of America
- From $232.42 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 1,417 reviewsIt 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.
AnaPortugal - 10Scored 10ExceptionalRated exceptional· 1 reviewThe 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!
AndrewUnited Kingdom - 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 3,274 reviewsThe bed was so comfy, and more importantly the shower had been fixed from when I was staying in the same room only last week. The staff here are so helpful and friendly. 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.
