Top Balintraid Hotel Reviews

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."

The Royal Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were delightful, bed comfy. Clean up-to-date shower. Decor a little tired but I didn’t expect any else."

The Highland Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Clean and functional room, WiFi not the best but works. Comfy bed with big tv"

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were here on vacation. The location was great, right by the river. The restaurant was good (they seem to dry-age their beef themselves). Staff very helpful, facility very clean. Only drawback, no elevator (which was only an issue with luggage, but staff offered to carry bags up for us). We'd happily come back."

Waverley Guest House

8/10 Good

"First class customer service"

Tulloch Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this unique stay! History and atmosphere were amazing!"

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Columba Hotel! The staff was friendly & helpful. The room was clean & cozy. The bed & pillows were really comfortable . We’ve been to other hotels where the pillows were ultra thin. Sounds silly , but the thin pillows affected my sleeping. One thing I loved was how peaceful the rooms were, you couldn’t hear other guests. We also had a great view of the river."

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very close to the busy center of town and right across the street from the river. The room was clean and had more than adequate space for two. The hotel did not provide shampoo, so bring some. The breakfast buffet was filling."

River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location, right in the heart of town and yet the room was so quiet. We faced the street side, but could not hear any traffic or noise of any kind. Our room was spacious, clean, and well stocked with complimentary water and wine in the fridge. Staff were absolutely wonderful! We did not end up having the breakfast, but our friend did, and she raved about it – especially the fresh fruit."
