Pentahotel Inverness

Inverness|0.12km from Bus Station Stance 2
We stayed at The Penta from Sunday, July 17 through Thursday July 21, 2022. That Monday, we had a private tour of the Isle of Skye, and got back to the hotel at about 8:30 PM. We were tired and went to the hotel restaurant for dinner at about 8:50 PM, right before it closed. My wife ordered salmon. Huge mistake. At home, we would never order fish on a Monday, and especially not during a heat wave. But, we were on holiday and let our guard down. My wife is a physician (internal medicine), and based on the timing and severity of her symptoms, as well as her prior meal, she is extremely confident the salmon was bad. (My son and I ate burgers.) The next two days were a nightmare. She was in bed all day Tuesday, alternating between vomiting and violent, putrid diarrhea. We had a private tour booked to Glencoe on Wednesday, and were so thankful that it was not a bus tour. Our guide, Andy, stopped often for her, but we finally had to cut the tour short. This was truly disappointing as we flew to Scotland from NY for this vacation. I informed the chef of our suspicion on Wednesday evening. He told me he did not work on Monday night, but would look into it. He seemed genuinely sympathetic, but I never heard back. I also informed the front desk staff, who were similarly sympathetic, but I heard nothing from them, either. I was really disappointed by the utter lack of follow-up. Food poisoning is a serious health concern, and everybody apparently blew it off. If you are considering staying here, let me provide an honest assessment of the hotel below. Restaurant (F) See above. It earned this failing grade. Staff (B-) Over our stay, I interacted with four or five people, and they could not have been more polite and helpful EXCEPT FOR THE UTTER LACK OF ATTENTION TO OUR FOOD POISONING REPORT. i asked for a fan because the hotel, like most in the city, has no a/c. They provided two, which really helped. They were all friendly and nice. I would give the staff a solid A were it not for the food poisoning incident. Amenities (A+) The hotel bar is nice, and features a pool table and very ample, comfortable seating, including couches and tables. I enjoyed playing pool with my son while my wife recuperated in bed. The lounge bathrooms were modern, large, and spotless. The fitness center is quite good, with everything you need for a decent workout, and even has a tv and sound system. Plus, you can reserve the room for an hour. Location (A+) The Penta is a 5-minute walk from the train station, and is really close to wonderful pubs, restaurants, shops, etc. You can walk everywhere you need to be. Room (C-) We paid for the premium room, but there was absolutely nothing premium about it. The room was small, much smaller than we expected after looking at the photos online, and very, very sp****. There are no closets, so you get to hang your clothes on a hipster metal pipe that is attached to a desk. That said, the room was clean and serviced n

The Royal Highland Hotel

Inverness|0.17km from Bus Station Stance 2
After having two bookings cancelled over the last two years, we finally got to make our trip back to Inverness arriving on the 8th March for two nights as a birthday treat. We were booked on a great package for a two night stay that included breakfast, two course dinner for one night, afternoon tea and a free cocktail at dinner. Check in was easy and we received friendly service from the reception staff, who stored our bags for us until the room was ready, due to us having arrived early on the Caledonian Sleeper train. Our accommodation was in a Royal room which was large and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfy and super king in size. The afternoon tea was quite nice, with tasty sandwiches etc, but the evening meal in our opinion was exceptional, with very attentive service from the restaurant staff. We had the steak (where there was a supplement) and the salmon, which was absolutely piping hot and just so delicious. The crème brûlée for our deserts were also really enjoyable. There were a list of cocktails to choose from, and you could exchange for wine beer or cider if preferred. The hot breakfast the next morning also was delicious, very tasty and well cooked, and mine had gorgeous scrambled eggs. You could help yourself to juices, drinks and buffet offerings like cereals and pastries etc. The staff overall all provide brilliant, friendly and efficient service after what must have been an horrendous two years. One lady in particular that oversees breakfast, provides exceptional service. Yes this hotel is dated, (if I was being really picky then I’d say some furniture needs replacing), but it adds to the character and charm somehow, and we just love it. This is the second time we’ve stayed here, and certainly will again. Thanks for a lovely stay.

MacDougall Clansman Hotel
4.5/537 Reviews
I stayed at MacDougall Clansman in April while on vacation with a group of friends. We had 3 rooms in total and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent, it was a 5 minute walk from the train station, even with my very American suitcase. Iain and I had messaged earlier in the day about my arrival time and my room was ready early when I got there around 1:30pm. Even though we all booked separately, Iain surmised our group was together and managed to put us in rooms near each other which was really nice. The rooms were all clean and neat with tea and coffee with a kettle as well. Breakfast each morning was prepared to order, good variety of standard European breakfast items available plus more traditional Scottish breakfast. We easily walked to restaurants and bars nearby, parking is available on the street or in a nearby parking garage. Highly recommend staying here when you are in Inverness!
The Waverley Guest House
3/587 Reviews
The hotel benefits are 2 minutes walk from the train station. I have two large beds with a bathroom, and each bed sleeps big and small. No problem. There are also some cheap rooms that are common to the restroom. Breakfast is normal, the mainland breakfast is basically cold food, after eating and packing, it seems that only one person at the front desk waiter is on duty, and once I saw her returning from the outside to buy food. The hotel does not have a parking lot and parking is troublesome. In addition, there is a Chinese restaurant in the hotel, which is very good. The picture is a street view outside the hotel, within walking distance to major attractions and shops.
Highland Apartments by Mansley
4.5/595 Reviews
Pros: 1- spacious living area and bedroom. 2 - the team was very responsive and had someone at our door to help with a question. 3- the location is right on the main Drag so your close to everything. Cons: 1 - because your on the Main Street the traffic and club noise is loud. We were there on a Saturday night in July. The room was hot and wanted to keep our windows open but the the clubs below us were extremely loud. 2- they don’t leave any readable instructions for the appliances and just have a binder full of operation manuals from the manufacturer. Not very helpful
AC Hotel Inverness
4.3/5112 Reviews
On the banks of the Inverness River, the parking lot is not very big. When we came back at night, there was no parking space. We were given a place where we could park far away. Anyway, we just passed by for one night. Sky Island didn’t have a reserved room and stayed there This is it, later I found that the scenery of Loch Ness seems to be better. But half an hour to the north, there is a cape where you can see dolphins. It is said that you can see them even if you go there. We waited for more than ten minutes to see two dolphins.
Premier Inn Inverness Centre (River Ness)

Beautiful hotel in a perfect location I was warmly greeted by Maria who made the checking in process very stress free and was happy to answer all of my questions and made me feel welcome. The restaurant is definitely up there with the best hotel restaurant I’ve stayed in very enjoyable experience I will definitely be back.
Black Isle Hostel
4.2/538 Reviews
It does the job but that's about it. We stayed 2 nights during our Isle of skye trip. The shared room was big enough for 4 people to move around but besides of 2 bunk beds there was absolutely nothing else in the room. A chair or two might have been great as when you are at the bottom bunk you can't sit on it as the top bunk is set to low. The beds were fairly comfortable but noise every time you moved. The bathrooms very supposedly cleaned but def weren't, the sign was just put up. The floors in the shower were dirty, only two hooks, so the chance of your stuff getting wet were pretty high. Also super annoying was the push and stop buttons in the shower, they turn of every 15 sec or so, it's annoying to take a shower. Same for the ”give it a good yank” in the toilets, most of the time the yank wasn't enough and the toilets didn't flush. The kitchen upstairs is small, we only stored something in the fridge but I wouldn't cook there as it's just waaaaay to small. The good thing is the location as it's right around the corner from the bus stop. If you simple need a place to stay overnight, I would say it's alright but still too expensive for what is offered.
