Beaufort Hotel

Beaufort Hotel

8/10 Good
"Tracy, James, and the rest of the staff were helpful, friendly, and personable. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Good selection of Scotch in the bar. We stayed on the ground floor. Some of the switches in the bedroom were wonky. Otherwise, we enjoyed a clean spacious room. Parking was always available even when they hosted parties."

10/10 Excellent
"EXCELLENT!! This was a clean hotel with an elevator and a super friendly staff. The location was great for our needs: short walk to both the train and bus stations, and also to our tour start on Union Street. There were several pubs and restaurants within a few blocks. Keep in mind several required reservations, which made it a little difficult, but Black Swan Isle was our answer! We felt safe walking in the area. Overall, a great experience in Inverness!"

Waverley Guest House

Waverley Guest House

8/10 Good
"The location is excellent, walking a few minutes to the railroad station, pubs with great music, shopping, and more right in the heart of Inverness. The continental breakfast was adequate with quite a selection of cereal, breads, crumpets, juices, and coffee. The bathroom en suite could have used towel racks and the room with twin beds is small. Staff is friendly and helpful. Overall a good place to sleep for my wife and I since we don't spend much time in the room, too much to do and see. I thought it was quite expensive for the amenities, but seems to be the going rate. Oh, and no elevator to the reception desk on the first floor."

"Great place. We liked it. A particular host gentleman( mostly his name was John) who is usually in the Bar and helps with the breakfast is very helpful and a great guy. Goes out of the way to help out. Highly recommended to stay here. Only thing to note it doesn’t have elevators but I think mostly no hotels in Skye have it."
