Ardross Glencairn

10/10 Excellent

"Large, comfortable room within an easy walk to the center of all the activities in Inverness. Check in was a breeze, as the staff was very helpful. They suggested places to park, to eat and entertainment."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Columba Hotel! The staff was friendly & helpful. The room was clean & cozy. The bed & pillows were really comfortable . We’ve been to other hotels where the pillows were ultra thin. Sounds silly , but the thin pillows affected my sleeping. One thing I loved was how peaceful the rooms were, you couldn’t hear other guests. We also had a great view of the river."

"Paul is helpful & has recommendations, but is not overly chatty which we appreciated. The location is a short walk into the center of town, a grocery, & a laundry but it is very quiet & serene.
