Top Merkinch Local Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

The Coo's Guest House

8/10 Good

"Room and en-suite were clean and reasonably spacious. Good instructional information provided for shower use and parking as was the case with pre arrival message. Parking was fine and reasonably secure. Would have preferred breakfast included in the price but lots of food outlets nearby. The location is good with lots of shopping nearby for the missus."

Waverley Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The host informed us upon arrival there was an issue for our room. However, they relocated us to a second location that was very nice. If we wanted the complimentary breakfast we had to go back to the original location. Would’ve been nice to get a credit instead. Otherwise great location to local restaurants and tourist activities"

The Royal Highland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Early check in. Central and friendly staff. Great room"

B&B HOTEL Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location. Helpful staff. The place is blocks from the train station and the bus station. The rooms were comfortable."

Beaufort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel! We had plenty of space (we are a family of 2 adults & 2 teens), our room was tastefully decorated with lots of storage. The dining room was lovely and the food was delicious. Would love to stay again."

North Kessock Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location adjacent to the water. Beds were comfortable and the restaurant downstairs was convenient."

Mercure Inverness Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had an enjoyable stay. The hotel is very central so convenient for city centre amenities. It is however very close to a lot of the bars and pubs, so if you don’t want to be disturbed at night choose a river view room which are at the back of the hotel. We found the staff very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean."

AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness

8/10 Good

"Doing renovations."

Black Friars

8/10 Good

"My husband really liked this hotel because it was quite spacious in the room and the bathroom and there was a laundry facility across the street and we badly needed to do a wash halfway through our Scotland Ireland two week trip. I thought the hotel was fine but nothing special and while the room seemed clean the carpets were worn and stained in some spots. No oat milk for my afternoon tea which is the first time a hotel hasn’t provided a dairy milk alternative. The weirdest part for me was the placement of one of the twin beds (I think I opted for two twins rather than a double bed) - my bed has its chargers behind my pillow and I bumped my head on the “side” lamp which was literally above my head (see photo) - clearly the room was designed for a double or queen bed! Also the parking situation was not very convenient and not included in my $450 hotel stay fee - about 2.5 blocks away at a public garage. And there was nowhere to pull up at the hotel on the busy street to unload and load our luggage. And three keys to get into the hotel, into the guest room area, and into your room (a big piece of wood attached to the keys / not so easy to put in your pocket!) I’d find somewhere else to stay next time I’m in Inverness for all these minor inconveniences that added up in my book."
