Top Muirtown Canal Locks Hotel Reviews

Kingsmills Hotel

8/10 Good

"Seemed silly that the chair for the desk did not hold its height adjustment and would slip gradually down to lowest level."

Mercure Inverness Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice big rooms, breakfast is very good. Location is amazing. Only complaint is the toilets are not the best at flushing."

Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotels Distinctive

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel, the parking is a little tight with only 22 spaces, breakfast can be improved it was cold and the porridge wasn't the best, staff were very helpful The hotel is in a great location with the river Ness and castle infront of it"

Beaufort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely old hotel with all modern conveniences. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The free onsite parking is a bonus if you rent a car for touring the surrounding area. Inverness is a terrific hub for the east side of the Highlands, and the Beaufort is an ideal base, also within short walking distance of the city centre. Recommended: book breakfast in advance for a better deal."

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great room, great location, great staff, all around great place."

AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness

8/10 Good

"A nice hotel with friendly staff and clean rooms, what the hotel fails to tell you is there is ongoing construction with over half of the hotel covered in scaffolding. There is workers walking up and down the hallways from 0800-1600, in the lift which is small, walking through reception, the carpark is full of construction equipment so you have to park across the road that cost £10 a day. What annoyed me was the lack of information on the construction and the parking. It would be a 5 Stars if it wasn’t for the construction and the lack of information about the construction."
