Top Inverness Cathedral Hotel Reviews

River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"The bed was extremely comfortable in the room the air conditioner was nice and cool. Kept us very chilly during the night didn’t turn off. the rooms and building was very clean. The staff was welcoming and kind and very helpful. Absolutely a lovely experience."

Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"The Palace hotel is an excellent location for walking around d Inverness and enjoying the river Ness. Restaurant and coffee shop are top notch and has all the amenities of a much later hotel. All Staff are friendly and courteous. I have been going for over 10 years and would recommend to anyone."

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Location of the hotel is great. It is an old property but all said and done it came on the right side of the charming/ run down divide. Has been updated and does not feel old in most respects. The major drawback for me was very weak WiFi and a bare bones TV. For many, a large tub and good hot and cold water supply in addition to handheld shower and rain shower is going to be a plus.If you need a Laundry, a self serve and full service laundry is literally on the same block so that could be a major plus, as it was for us on a long trip through Highlands"

"Cute place! Fairly convenient."
