may is not the time for an impromptu two-week business trip to inverness, the town and hotels are overrun with tourists.. you will more than likely end up at the thistle.. although the staff is friendly, very helpful and the rooms (on the first floor) had recently been refurbished and were decent, the hotel was full of an array of... more

We stayed at the Thistle inverness for Bank Holiday Weekend. The rooms have renovated to a good standard (still being renovated after 6 months!!) but service and facilities are severley lacking. The resteraunt closes at 9 pm, the pool and leisure facilities close at 7 pm, and were not open again on sunday morning due to staff shortages. The (busy)... more

Hotel is standard, clean enough and rooms are fine, although cramped. Reception could be improved on as service was basic and robotic. Breakfast reasonable athough you wont get the usual buffet if hotel is quiet as when that happens breakfast is made to order. Had room service which was good and filing, bar is busy although relaxing, onsite pool and... more

We stayed at the Thistle for one night last weekend. We have stayed there several times before and have always been pleased apart from the fire alarm going off in the middle of the night. We were allocated one of the newly refurbished rooms on the 1st floor. The room was very 'fresh' with a nice smell of new carpets... more

I stayed at the Inverness Thistle earlier this month for a week long stay as part of a large group of people. On arrival we were pleased with the public areas of the hotel and the efficiency of reception staff. Credit cards were pre-authorised with a certain amount and unfortunately this wasn't explained proplerly to some visitors to the country... more

Excellent swimming pool, all to ourselves, well equiped gym, good quality breakfast, polite smiley efficient staff. Small clean well appointed room. Overlooking the road, but no noise from traffic. Expensive bar, but aren't they always! Nothing to complain about, we always stay in 4-5 star hotels and always try to get last minute deals. This hotel ticked all the boxes,... more

After reading some of the reviews on here i was rather aprehensive heading up to Inverness. What a lot of baloney IMO as although granted it looks a bit of a dump from the outside the hotels rooms, bar area, restaurant and health suite were all spotless. The staff were very helpfull and myself, my wife and 2 kids had... more

My wife and I booked a last minute overnight stay in this hotel and a good deal. We had a warm welcome, a very comfortable room and a hearty breakfast. Parking is excellent and there is the bonus of leisure facilities with a swimming pool. Situation just inside the city it is ideally located for a short break. Don't be... more

We booked a 4-night stay to include New Year's Eve having heard what a grand time the Scots make of Hogmonay. The hotel itself is just outside of Inverness sandwiched between the main road, and the railway line, nestling amongst industrial units. Our first room absolutely stank of cigarette smoke despite being asssured that the entire hotel had been non-smoking... more
