Top Muirtown Canal Locks Hotel Reviews

The Royal Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an old and historic building but could use some TLC. The food in the restaurant was good and location excellent."

Ardross Glencairn

10/10 Excellent

"Close to downtown walking distance. No parking on site need to move car every 2 hours during day, ok to park 5pm till 8am next day. Street parking only"

Kingsmills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here many times 10/10"

B&B HOTEL Inverness

8/10 Good

"Pillows were very hard and uncomfortable, caused me sore neck every morning. Room was too warm - even for end of September, with window crack open (as much at it can be opened)."

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, large parking for free. Rooms well maintained with elegant look.Not all rooms have river view - check when booking, definitely worth it. Breakfast very nice and rich , the “full Scottish “ was nothing to write home about but nicely served and very attentive staff"

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."

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel along the River Ness! Our room had its own living room w tv, cozy chairs and a view of the river. Comfortable beds and large shower. Perfect location. Walking distance to Inverness castle experience, Victorian market, shopping etc. Great walking path around River Ness out your front door. Hotel had its own brewery and distillery on site. So feet from whiskey and beer!! Win win!! They also have a full restaurant. Would highly recommend"

Mercure Inverness Hotel
