Top Merkinch Hotel Reviews

The Highland Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Nice place with great feel and nice staff"

Waverley Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Basic, clean and comfortable. The couple running the guesthouse went above and beyond to make us welcome. After arriving on the Caladonian Sleeper train from London (and getting very little sleep on the train) They juggled rooms around to allow us a room at 9am when check-in wasn't till 3pm. Nothing was too much trouble."

The Royal Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Old-World Highland Charm in a Fantastic Location The Royal Highland Hotel is superbly located literally steps from Inverness railway station, making it extremely convenient when travelling with luggage. The moment you enter, the magnificent staircase catches your attention, and the lobby has a cosy, old-world British charm that makes you feel as though you've stepped back in time. Check-in was simple and our third-floor room was spacious and comfortable, with a sitting area, writing desk, TV and kettle with tea, coffee, milk and sugar. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a good size, with excellent shower pressure and a lovely heated towel rail. There is no refrigerator or apparent air-conditioning, although opening the window kept us comfortable. The old wooden floors also creak considerably. Our only maintenance issue was a slow-draining shower, which I mentioned at checkout. The location is excellent not only for the station but also for exploring Inverness. Restaurants, shops, the River Ness and Inverness Castle area are all within an easy walk. This is an older hotel, and that comes with a few quirks, but its history, character and location make it memorable. We would certainly consider staying again. Rating: 7.5–8/10."
