The rooms are separated from the bar/food area so the music is not an issue at all when in the hotel room. Very friendly staff and great food and drinks with live music!
Had a great stay in very comfortable room. Bed was so comfy didn’t want to get up! Bathroom spotless with great shower. Great coffee maker with loads of different types of coffee, and real milk in wee bottles. Will be back with my wife next time.
We loved staying at the Hootenanny. The room was lovely and the bar was great with excellent music and food. The bed was super comfy and the room was cozy. Bar staff were great and super friendly. Would have been five stars but communication from hotel staff was minimal even while we tried to reach via both the Expedia app and via text. Also no shampoo or conditioner was provided and for the price and convenience for travelers, it is somewhat the minimum.
When arriving at the property it looked very dated so wasn’t sure what the rooms were going to be like. We were greeted by the host and was taken to our top floor room. It was clean and nicely decorated with a large comfortable bed with lovely pillows and bed linen. The bathroom was exceptional too, I couldn’t fault the room at all. The tea/coffee facilities were fabulous. I would highly recommend.
I had room 7 absolutely gorgeous in every way, even though there was pub downstairs playing lovely Celtic music my room was so quiet, the decor was beautiful like cottage modern feel, little window seat you could see river ness, I sat there most of the time, the bedding 100% scrumptious white cotton sheets which I love, bed was hugh and luxurious, bathroom gorgeous, tartan tiles wow, honestly this was 5* for me. My every visit to Inverness I will try get this room it was sooooo cozy and warming & recommend it highly
Everything was better than expected and went smooth as silk. The room layout was quirky in the best of ways! Not a simple rectangle box - more like a suite - bedroom, bathroom, a teeny entry foyer, a couple of steps separating all three. In the heart of Inverness Center (Centre, if you prefer). Everything a tourist could want is within a short walk. The booking said unstaffed/no front desk; however, their was a Hootananny rep, familiar with our reservation and gave us an easy welcome - who was primarily working the bar/restaurant. I give it a fair thumbs up!
Looking for the ultimate experience this is it on top of a pub a lot of stairs so make sure you leave your luggage in the car and pack a smaller bag —— extremely friendly the young lady who checked us in so sweet and the owner very very helpful andThis is a must must if you’re going to Inverness on the authentic Scottish experience
Room was clean but the bed was uncomfortable. Also this is upstairs from a bar that offers live music every night until about midnight. The bass would shake the room.
