Top Balnain Hotel Reviews

River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Great room. Sub par dining"

The Royal Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an old and historic building but could use some TLC. The food in the restaurant was good and location excellent."

B&B HOTEL Inverness

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location! 2 night stay. Nice room. Great buffet breakfast. My only issue was that I was not informed at checkin that the room would not be cleaned automatically. But I had enough towels and they took my rubbish away and provided extra sugars when I requested. They also pre booked a taxi for me. Thankyou."

Loch Ness Drumnadrochit Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very helpful. Great room with a bath"

Kingsmills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here many times 10/10"

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, large parking for free. Rooms well maintained with elegant look.Not all rooms have river view - check when booking, definitely worth it. Breakfast very nice and rich , the “full Scottish “ was nothing to write home about but nicely served and very attentive staff"

Waverley Guest House

8/10 Good

"I give this property a solid 4 in its class. That is to say an older, affordable walk-up in the city centre and near the train station. They could renovate, modernize and charge triple the rate. I had to depart before the complimentary breakfast was served but it looked plentiful and fresh. If you’re looking for basic overnight accommodation then this should suit."

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel along the River Ness! Our room had its own living room w tv, cozy chairs and a view of the river. Comfortable beds and large shower. Perfect location. Walking distance to Inverness castle experience, Victorian market, shopping etc. Great walking path around River Ness out your front door. Hotel had its own brewery and distillery on site. So feet from whiskey and beer!! Win win!! They also have a full restaurant. Would highly recommend"

Mercure Inverness Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and location is spectacular"
