This is a family run property with owners who are very helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were delicious. The property is older, located in the historic downtown area of Inverness, very convenient to the railway station, bus lines, tourist facilities and many nearby restaurants, including several with live music. Our room was large and had a very recently renovated bathroom, opening windows and comfortable beds. The only disadvantage was the lack of an elevator.

The guy that greeted me was very hospitable and nice to talk to. He made me feel very welcome and also allowed me to leave my belongings on the premise before checking in and after i checked out, so i wouldn't be carrying them with me everywhere. If traveling to Inverness in future, i would definitely be considering staying in this hotel again. Also, the entire hotel is really well decorated, and has a lot of interesting pictures of Scottish heritage and the different clans which I enjoyed looking at

Staying at the Macdougall Clansman Hotel was probably the highlight of our Scotland trip that my fiancé and I took. We traveled to Glasgow, Edinburgh and finally Inverness where we stayed here. We had the best experience from check in and meeting Ian. He was so accommodating and kind, he truly made our experience exceptional. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious as well. Thank you for having us! I definitely recommend this place! We loved it! Definitely will be back!

An absolute delight. Traditional and down to earth. I was made to feel welcome as soon as I arrived. Iain went above and beyond and was helpful all along. There are no frills here. If you want a hotel that’s the same in every city then go there. Breakfast is simple but cooked to order and perfect. Rooms are basic but very clean. All I needed in a stay, clean, confortable abs friendly - I will recommend this hotel to others I know who will appreciate the very friendly and down to earth ambience.

This little place is an absolute gem. It is very central and easily walkable from the train station. There are about a million dining and shopping options in the surrounding blocks (make sure you make a dinner reservation Th-Su in the summer)!! Pretty standard amenities in an old building, but what sets them apart is the service. Made to order breakfast in the morning?? Yes please! They were very accommodating with early departures for day tours, having a grab-and-go breakfast selection. They were also very accommodating with allowing us to leave our bags for a while the day we checked out. It is clear that they very much care about their guests’ experiences and are so kind. Would absolutely return.

The owners of the property are very kind and sweet. The breakfast is delicious and they will leave you breakfast is you have to go out early to a tour. It is walkable from every area of town and very close to the train and bus station. There is shopping and wonderful restaurants all around. The street that it is on is busy on the weekend and you can hear people shouting and singing late into the night. I fell asleep despite being a pretty light sleeper. The place is older and quirky which is part of the fun. It could use an update the section I stayed in smelled extremely strong of body odor and me and all my belongings smelled of mildew. By the time I left it was starting to bother me. It smells like that when you enter the property as well. I have allergies and sensitivity to smell so that is something to consider.

When you first arrive at the MacDougall Clansman Hotel, you might notice that the property feels a bit dated. However, what it lacks in appearance it more than makes up for with incredibly kind and personal service. Iain was such a gracious host — always checking in to see if we needed anything and making sure we were well taken care of. His warmth and hospitality truly made our stay memorable. The location is excellent — very central, yet surprisingly quiet — and there’s even a superb bookshop right next door, which was a lovely bonus. Overall, this is a charming and comfortable place to stay in Inverness, thanks to the genuine care and hospitality of the people who run it.

Stayed at the MacDougal Clansman Hotel for 3 nights this summer on a girls trip for myself and my aunt in her 60's. This is the perfect family-run operation in my opinion. Iain was in communication with us to coordinate for our check-in (we arrived on an incredibly early train into Inverness, unfortunately), and he was very accommodating. Not only did he offer to keep our bags, but a room opened up and he let us switch into the free room without any fuss so we could freshen up earlier than we'd thought we'd be able to. We ended up staying on the 2nd floor corner room (3rd floor for the fellow Americans) and had a great view down the street so we could people watch on our early nights. Some tourists out in the area were louder than others, but it was wholly unrelated to this hotel - I'll absolutely stay here again if I find myself in Inverness again. Very safe and as comfortable as staying with your own family. Its a great location, you can walk anywhere you'll need to get in Inverness and won't have to call a cab. In fact, between the bus station (the ladies in the counter at the bus station were SUPER helpful as well - I highly recommend stopping by in person to coordinate your out-of-town travels) and the hop-on/hop-off bus, we were able to get all around town. We also took a day trip to Skye one of the days staying here and could walk to the pick-up spot easily! I can't emphasize the convenience of this location enough. Thank you Iain and team! We'll be back!
