Great welcome on arrival, facilities perfect for my needs, wonderful central location and very comfortable for my stay. I was in Inverness to enjoy exploring the Highlands by train. Easy access to the main station...5 minutes walk...and no problems catching the early trains.

This place was sooo good. I haven't stayed in a 2 star hotel in ages. This one felt like it should have two extra stars. Amazingly attentive friendly service, lovely breakfast, turndown service, and they even sorted a packed lunch when I had to leave before breakfast. Would recommend this over a Premier Inn anyday...

The location was excellent for visiting the churches, the train and bus stations, and local bars with music. This is a small, family run hotel and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the breakfast food choices and quality each morning.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was as advertised. We were only able to book a compact double, and as warned it was very small. And the bed was a small double, not a queen or 2 twins pushed together. There was barely room for our suitcases on the floor. It was an older hotel with only the bare basics in the room. The gentleman who greeted us was very nice. Breakfast was nice. Beware that parking is not included and very limited. You can only pay to park for 1 hour on the street in front of the hotel, except overnight which is free until 8am. Just be prepared. I would not stay here again as there were other reasonably priced hotels on the same street that probably would have offered more room and a better bed!

Centrally located, and steps away from the railway and bus stations. River ness and the beautiful bridges over it are just behind the hotel. Hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Breakfast is phenomenal. Staff very courteous and helpful. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful stay recently at MacDougall Clansman Hotel. Iain and staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The hotel and rooms were immaculate and had all the necessary amenities. There was a heatwave happening and they were able to provide a room fan to help keep me comfortable. The location was central to all the main sights and was extremely walkable which was super convenient. The inclusion of fresh breakfast in the morning was a standout feature and fuelled me for the day of sightseeing. I cannot recommend MacDougall Clansman Hotel enough for anyone planning a trip to Inverness.
