Top Dores Hotel Reviews

River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

8/10 Good

"We were able to get an early check-in and the staff were extremely helpful."

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect and the staff were very friendly and accommodating"

Beaufort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are friendly, location is closed to the castle."

Ben Wyvis Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful spot. Breakfast was very good. The room was clean. Only complaint is we couldn’t turn the heater off in our room. The front clerk said would look after and then when we asked again later she said maintenance gone home so eventually it would turn off as was on a timer. It did but we had both windows open until about 9pm. The other two staff we interacted with were lovely."

Tulloch Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very dated. Staff nice and available. For the price point would have expected a higher level of amenities and updated appointments. A bit of a disappointment."

Craigmonie Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were lovely and so kind and helpful."

The Royal Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location but a bit noisy due to trains andd street noise"

Waverley Guest House

8/10 Good

"I give this property a solid 4 in its class. That is to say an older, affordable walk-up in the city centre and near the train station. They could renovate, modernize and charge triple the rate. I had to depart before the complimentary breakfast was served but it looked plentiful and fresh. If you’re looking for basic overnight accommodation then this should suit."

AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness

10/10 Excellent

"Great shiny and new hotel with fantastic staff who were super friendly and helpful. Only a few minutes walk from the station so quiet and private location by the river. Room was great and had all mod concerns. Only downside was there was a fair bit of noise from building work happening on the external building but it was only in the daytime. Would happily stay there again."
