Holiday Inn Express Inverness, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Inverness

Holiday Inn Express Inverness offers modern accommodations, free parking, and an inclusive buffet-style breakfast. It is within 30 minutes’ drive of Loch Ness, Culloden Battle Field and Cawdor Castle....

We were just here for one night prior to flying out of Inverness. The hotel is only a few miles from Inverness airport. The front desk staff kindly made us a reservation for dinner at the Snow Goose restaurant next door (not affiliated with this hotel). The room was small but adequate for just one night. Plenty of plugs/charging ports. Buffet breakfast was good, better than expected and way better than the Holiday Inn Express at Glasgow airport.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very quirky and cosy inside. The rooms and bed were comfortable. The shower was hot and powerful! The place is located centrally and it's easy to get to. We didn't try any food at the hotel though. Would definitely come back to visit

Peter was absolutely wonderful. He gave us some tips on where to visit, how to get around and even offered to take us to one of the sights on his own time. The breakfast was more than generous. He checked in on us to ensure that we were well looked after, if we needed anything, etc. A quick 20 minute bus ride into the city centre, this location is will worth it!

FAQs about hotels in Inverness







Gateway to the Highlands and Loch Ness

A jewel with historic buildings and charming streets, Inverness is surrounded by a typical Scottish Highland landscape. It is located 10 km from Loch Ness, along the mouth of the Ness River and the Moray Firth coast. It is regarded as the northernmost city in the United Kingdom, and capital of the Highlands.

Take a walk around the Old Town, visit St Andrew’s Cathedral, and make a stopover in the charming Victorian Market. The Old High St Stephen's Church is the oldest building in town, and has been a religious site since pre-Christian times.

The Inverness Castle overlooks the river and is nowadays the seat of the Sheriff Court. A hotel in Inverness city centre is ideal to enjoy the different cultural and recreational activities in town.

Watch the Atlantic salmon jumping out the river near the Ness Islands, and try to catch a glimpse of the famous monster of Loch Ness. The Cairngorms National Park is 40 km away, and Chanonry Point is the best spot to watch dolphins, just 24 km away.

Inverness hotels include a large offer of small, cosy guest houses, B&B’s, and rural cottages, allowing a closer contact with the nature. Don’t miss the Inverness accommodation deals on Booking.com!

    The location is spot on. Parking a 5 minute walk away. Paid £60 extra to make it a triple room which meant a camp bed was placed in the room…not impressed, couldn’t sleep in it, had to share double bed.

    Easy to get to city whether travelling by road, rail, bus and air (air port slightly out of Inverness). We travelled by train and we had lunch in the Ash Restaurant next to the railway station as we had time to kill before we got into our apartment and food was excellent. We also visited the Palace hotel for afternoon tea which was also good. Plenty of eateries, pubs and shops

    Inverness is perfect for a holiday where you want to prioritize gentleness, quiet, & rest but balanced with time outdoors & access to general amenities (restaurants, pubs, historic sites, etc). Ease of access to the rest of the highlands (and numerous day tour options for the Isle of Skye) are a definite plus for those wanting to go further afield.

    Inverness is a lovely place and ideally situated to go off...

    Inverness is a lovely place and ideally situated to go off and explore Loch Ness. The city itself has plenty to see and do with some lovely eating and drinking establishments. The people were warm and friendly and it felt particularly safe when out walking at night. We were there to take part in the Etape Loch Ness which is a cycling challenge around the entire Loch Ness and up in to the mountains. It was perfectly organised and an event i'd thoroughly recommend doing. The walks along the river and around the small islands on the river are really lovely and you are ideally placed for exploring the beautiful countryside that surrounds Inverness.. we will definitely be going back again.

    It was my 3rd stay in waverley. The hotel is very well localised. From there is close to interesting points like a castle or tasty restaurants or finally beautiful path along river. Quality of rooms is adequate to prices. If you book the cheapest hotel in Inverness don't expect high standards. bathroom and my room were clean what is important for me. TV in the room.Always fresh towels and bin bags on request. Staff nice and chatty. I recommend for people which want to travel, see beautiful Higlands and want to reduce costs of journey

    We traveled all over Scotland on our holiday on the train so for that the location was perfect step out of station next step into the hotel. Room cosy it was advertised at, very small would be more realistic especially for the price we paid, if it had been £100 cheaper for the 3 nights we stayed i'd have been happy but it was the least value for money of all the 5 hotels we stayed in on our holiday, it was clean etc no issues there. We didn't eat in the hotel spent our food money in the local witherspoons pub.

    Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood. Easy, short walk to downtown. Great breakfast was included. Host family could not be nicer. They even picked me up when I got a bit turned around walking there from the train station! Inverness is a lovely city, very close to the Culloden Battlefield, the terrible aftermath of which is why so many Scots left Scotland for America, N. Ireland, etc. Well worth visiting!

    The house was of a really lovely standard, very clean and a great location just outside Inverness. Great surprise of a small park outside for the kids to play on. The house had all the amenities and equipment you would need for a really comfortable stay, couldn’t really fault it at all. The comms with the owner was always great too. Would definitely use again when we decide to return to Scotland!
