Holiday Inn Express Inverness, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Inverness

Holiday Inn Express Inverness offers modern accommodations, free parking, and an inclusive buffet-style breakfast. It is within 30 minutes’ drive of Loch Ness, Culloden Battle Field and Cawdor Castle....

We were just here for one night prior to flying out of Inverness. The hotel is only a few miles from Inverness airport. The front desk staff kindly made us a reservation for dinner at the Snow Goose restaurant next door (not affiliated with this hotel). The room was small but adequate for just one night. Plenty of plugs/charging ports. Buffet breakfast was good, better than expected and way better than the Holiday Inn Express at Glasgow airport.

Redcliffe Hotel, hotel in Inverness

In the heart of historic Inverness, just 2 minutes’ walk from the castle and the riverside, the Redcliffe Hotel offers free parking on site.

The staff were wonderful. Very kind and accommodating. Breakfast was very good. Our second room was in the townhouse across the street and was better. Walk up to second floor, window opened. Nice array of teas and coffees and a kettle. Bed was acceptable, but not super comfy. Honestly, if it weren't for the lovely staff (and the no-refund), I would have moved to another hotel.

Old North Inn Hotel, Inverness, hotel in Inverness

Located just 7 miles from the city of Inverness, Old North Inn Hotel, Inverness is just a 20-minute from the famous Loch Ness and Culloden Battlefield.

Firstly if you are Booking on here check the post code. At the time we travelled it was wrong. A phone ☎to the hotel got the correct one which put us 6.5 miles away. The correct one is IV5 7PX. We checked in with the assistance of Jules, who turned out to be superwoman. She served great 🍺, then evening meals making us feel relaxed. Then we had a good breakfast and yes you guessed served by Jules. Her service made a good over stay more memorable. Many thanks from all four of us.

Smithton Hotel, hotel in Inverness

This hotel is located approximately 3.5 mi from Inverness town center, 5 mi from Inverness Airport and only 1.2 mi from historic Culloden Battlefield.

We were unable to have a full breakfast since we had to catch our tour bus. Peter quickly made up take away bacon rolls when he heard this. Although the hotel is not in city centre, it was close enough to get us to our tour pick up spot in reasonable time & their parking lot is not congested. Thus we were able to leave our car there during our 3 day tour away. An on site restaurant open for dinner until 9 PM is a really nice convenience & option to have. The staff were all very friendly & helpful. There was good value for money.

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!

    Lovely city with some really beautiful parts.

    Lovely city with some really beautiful parts. Clearly a seedy side (there was a major assault not 50m from our door on one night!), which is true of any city, but Inverness is small enough for it to feel cheek by jowl with the nicer parts. Great range of places to eat and things to do. Easily walkable to everywhere.

    It’s a surprisingly small down that feels a bit empty in the day - mostly comes to life at night with all the live music in bars. For tourists, seems mostly a stopping point en route to Loch Ness rather than a destination of its own.

    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

    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.

    My boyfriend and I had a very positive experience at Torridon Guest House! It was our first time in Scotland and the owner made sure we had excellent information on where to go to eat in Inverness and what to do. The room was cozy and clean, very typical and we were pleased that the breakfast had lots of options - very yummy as well! The place doesn't have many rooms, which is ideal if you want to relax as we wanted to! There's also a free parking space within the property and this was very helpful! We'll definitely come back!!

    We spent 3 days with Sergio, it was our first stay in Scotland. We wanted authenticity and we found it with our host. His house is old and full of history, far from the hotel rooms of the big impersonal chains. The breakfast is prepared according to our wishes and it is typically Scottish! The room fully met our expectations and we slept very well there. Sergio is an exceptional host, very kind, very available and with a very beautiful philosophy of life. It was a very nice meeting, a wonderful memory for us. Thanks again Sergio!

    Location was great, staff were super nice and welcoming, bed was very comfy and we slept great. Street outside was very noisy, Saturday night but soundproofing was super so you could only hear the loudest screamers faintly - good combo of being able to step out right into the action but also being able to escape the mayhem. Also the other patrons were nice, nobody loud and drunk at late hours (I think the first hotel we've stayed at in Scotland where this was the case). Nice bathroom, very clean. Would definitely stay again.

They always take time for their guests. The breakfast was delicious. The whole house and the rooms are nice decotated with attention to each detail. We felt welcome at anytime. The location is perfect (only a few minutes by foot to Inverness). We really look forward to staying again at the Strome Lodge. Thank you very much!

    The owner was there to serve breakfast every morning with a smile (even on a day he went to the ER- shows his dedication). Small table big breakfast was his mantra and it was true. The room was great. Large bed and comfy shower for my 6 foot 4 partner. That's hard to find in Scotland! We were a short drive from the city. I believe buses were available, but taxis were prompt and cheap. Very quiet location.

    We were really pleased to find out that ‘pet-friendly’ is indeed VERY pet friendly. On our round trip throughout Scotland we noticed many hotels allow dogs in the room. But Glen Mhor takes that to the next level by letting your furry buddy accompany you to the diner and breakfest. Staff was also outstanding and friendly!
