Top Ness Islands Hotel Reviews

The Royal Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely lobby and grand staircase right next door to train station. Our room looked out onto platform 2. Hotel is a gracious older dame. Spacious. Comfortable but showing signs of age. Worked well for us as we enjoy heritage properties. Particularly when the train station entrance is immediately beside the hotel door and public transport stops."

Rossal House Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"A very comfortable apartment-I wouldn’t say luxurious but very good-we did however find the pillows hard -could have been better quality and softer or at least have a choice of pillow Good location with a 20/30 minute walk into town-easy parking Would definitely recommend"

Ness Walk

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a whole other class by itself. We stayed in 3 different hotels in Scotland which boasted being 5 stars, and Ness Walk was far and away the top of the three. It was the nicest 5 star hotel experience I've had. The customer service, check in process, attention to detail and property were all top notch. I would stay again and again if ever traveling back to Inverness. 6 out of 5."
