Great stay
Dustin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay. An authentic Public house. Short walk to the train station and bus station. Walkable to restaurants shops etc. downside of the location is it’s a bit noisy at night.
Scott, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

We paid more than $550 per night. The room was ok, but the breakfast was awful.
Mayumi, 4-night trip

Kelli, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was such a quaint room right in the heart of town, near train station and lots of walking trails.
Kathleen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Traveling with kids can be complicated, but this stay was absolutely excellent. The rooms were both spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and check in/out was a breeze. There’s no lift, so be prepared to carry luggage up the stairs.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great family room close to train station and short walk to the river and restaurants.
Diana, 1-night trip

Such a cute and nice private hotel. The staff is all very sweet and kind. The room was very clean and had yummy snacks stocked for us as well.
Andrea, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely location. The room was very charming and clean. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Only downside was the food in the dining room was not very good (undercooked/bland).
Catherine, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was great to have the restaurant right below us. We were able to walk everywhere without getting a car. Lots of freebie treats in the room were a nice touch. We would definitely stay there again!
Courtney, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely stay in Inverness

We loved our stay at Black Friars! The room was spacious and very comfortable. We were able to store our luggage the day of arrival and departure which was super helpful to allow us to explore Inverness. We enjoyed conversing with the proprietor and learning about Scotch. We also enjoyed a couple of meals at the tavern.
Beth, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We had a nice cozy room above the Pub. The owner was very kind. The location was convenient to both the bus station and the train station. Our booking on Expedia was supposed to have included continental breakfast. The continental breakfast options were almost non-existent (think dry cereal and toast). The accommodations combined with the limited breakfast made it not worth the price we paid.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Really loved this stay! It was only one night so we didn’t get a full on stay experience. The owner greeted us and was so helpful getting our keys and showing us your room. Only thing was the bathroom had a bit of a funky smell but with us being there one night it was unbearable if you kept the door closed. Very comfy bed and super close for walking to everything!
Riley, 1-night trip

John, 1-night trip

The vibrant atmosphere of the property overall. Mattress was great for a good night's sleep! Ps. A big shout-out to Caitlyn for her professionalism!
Miltiadis, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A huge mention to Niahm who delivered in an amazing service from the moment we walked in to us leaving. This place has completely over exceeded on my expectations and an amazing value for the money.
Gaya, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Thank you for another wonderful stay. I will recommend and hope to visit again.
Margaret, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We didn’t eat dinner there, and there was live music for awhile at night, but it ended around 10pm, so it was quiet when we wanted to sleep. We did eat at the restaurant for breakfast, and it was very tasty. We checked in around 8pm, and the owner/manager walked us to our room. He was very friendly. It was a convenient place to walk to various places, like Leakey’s Bookshop (right behind the hotel) and Greigg’s Bridge to get a good view of Inverness. Parking is not on-site, but it was a quick walk from the Old Town Rose Street car park. We only stayed one night, but I would recommend! It was clean and comfortable!
Amy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This property has a lot of character, it’s overall clean, but it does need a little bit of TLC. It is very difficult to get heavy luggage up the narrow stairs
