Guest Reviews and Hotel Ratings

Honest Guest Feedback Based on Real Stays

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Old North Inn Hotel, resembling a castle, offers a comfortable stay with modern, clean rooms that some guests have found on the smaller side. Its location a few minutes from Inverness is appreciated by many, as is having a restaurant and pub/bar on site, where guests can enjoy hot, cooked-to-order Scottish breakfast options. While the hotel is conveniently located, a few guests have noted it being situated on a busy road.

the room was spacious. i found the bathroom clean with plenty of space. the staff was helpful offering local tips for my trip.

My room faced the road, and traffic noise was noticeable early in the morning. the mattress felt too soft, causing a dip. the laminate flooring in the room felt a little basic. Rugs could improve the comfort.

the staff was helpful and friendly. the included breakfast was plentiful, a good start to the day. the room was spacious, including a comfortable bed. the location was convenient, situated between inverness and loch ness, a plus for exploring the area.

The walls seemed thin. I could hear conversations from the adjacent room. this lack of soundproofing impacted my sleep.
