Guest Reviews

• Deborah (4/5): -
• katjamauri (9/5): -
• Gijs (8/5): Gezellig en luxe, wel wat luidruchtig - Mooie kamers, centrale ligging Wel erg veel nachtelijke geluidsoverlast, wat je op zich wel kan verwachten als je boven een kroeg gaat slapen
• Heinz (9/5): Cosy little Hotel - Tolle Lage.
• John (10/5): -
• Padhraig (8/5): -
• Rusty (8/5): Great location, a little worn but comfortable. - The location was excellent. Parking was a bit of an issue but we found an overnight parking a few blocks away. The room was comfortable and quiet. There wasn’t an elevator and we were on the fifth floor but there isn’t anything they can do about it. The person we checked in with was clearly preoccupied but the gentleman at the door was very friendly and helpful. Also, you have to make dinner reservations online and in advance. We did not know that and it was not mentioned in the description.
• Pia (10/5): Plenty of character and comfortable - The property is a very old building in the middle of Inverness. The rooms are situated above the bar, which is quite lively, but not excessive. It has a lot of character. and the bedrooms were beautifully decorated. Bathrooms were lovely spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like was I had to go up 4 flights stairs
• Stefano (9/5): Tornerei - Pulita e comoda per il centro città, personale gentile Il fatto che la camera fosse sopra il pub e si sentiva molto la musica. Però è anche positivo poter mangiare e bere e poi salire le scale e andare a dormire.
• Yanina (7/5): Agradable pero escaso en algunas cuestiones. - La propiedad estaba bien. Las habitaciones cómodas y bien puestas. Limpias!! Toallas y sábanas de sueño. Aunq la cama es muy pequeña No hay personal y nadie q te ayude con las valijas, ya que hay que subir por escalera. Esa bien puesto el hotel es limpio pero es como si fuera una habitación sin nadie a quien acudir por ningún tema ni necesidad. Tener q subir con las valijas x las escaleras. Que no haya nadie para consultar x las dudas.
• Jonathan (9/5): -
• Andrea (7/5): Gut gelegen, aber jeden Abend Live Musik direkt unter dem Zimmer. - Lage war gut, aber die Musik war jeden Abend, das hatte ich nicht erwartet war aber letztendlich mein Fehler…. Ich kam mit dem keypad überhaupt nicht klar
• Peter (10/5): -
• Ellen (10/5): - Fabulous room in a great location. Very comfortable bed and great shower. Had everything I needed and more. Thank you.
• Michele (8/5): Worked out fine, well located. A bit noisy and no lift to upper levels. - Well located A bit noisy from 12-2 am thru open window. No lift
• lewis (10/5): -
• Jenny (9/5): -
• Debbie (8/5): Unique Lodging - I liked the unique setting in Inverness. The lodging was centrally located. The evening meal was excellent. My room was comfortable and cozy. Excellent coffee maker with good coffee and hot water for convenient and quick soup, etc. Gaining access was a little trying sometimes but I was finally able to manage entry. The entry area once inside the building wasn't very appealing (items cluttered to the right of the entry door).
• Elizabeth (9/5): A pleasant break. - Cleanliness and comfort. We could not get into the building as advised. Needed to wait for staff to enter. Better if there was a lift. Dark corridors. Lighting on stairs could have been better.
• Jeanne (9/5): -
• Michela (10/5): - Una stanza davvero accogliente, arredata con stile, pulita e confortevole. La posizione è ottima a due passi dalla stazione. Le camere si trovano sopra un pub altrettanto accogliente. Le camere sono completamente insonorizzate quindi essere sopra il pub non è stato uno svantaggio, anzi abbiamo consumato un'ottima cena con dell'ottima musica dal vivo e poi siamo saliti comodamente in camera!
• chris (9/5): -
• Dalgliesh (8/5): Great rooms at Hootananies - Lovely fresh rooms. Reception/bar maid. Very dry and abrupt, looked really unhappy. Maybe she was having a bad day.
• miolli (10/5): -
• Robert (10/5): Amazing location amazing value for money amazing attention to detail and cleanliness - Amazing staff The housekeepers found me an extension cable so could work in comfort, they were smiley and friendly. Super clean and tidy room Great shower. I’d probably of felt more comfortable with more than two loo rolls for my 3 night stay. But that’s just me cos I’m a weirdo Didn’t even use a full one ! Didn’t visit the bar although have in the past Less stairs ! Unfortunately I was travelling to a seasonal job so bad about 85kg of luggage with me and I was on the top floor 😂
• Russell (7/5): - Great central location in this very popular music venue. Room was large and warm on arrival. Very lively bar below with live music and great atmosphere. We arrived at 1pm (2 hours early), hoping to drop the bags off. We rang the bell to be greeted by a very rude lady who told us check in is at 3. We asked if we could drop the bags off to which she said "leave them there" pointing to a communal area at the bottom of a stairwell. Not ideal. We also witnessed her being rude to other guests the following night who had the audacity to arrive early. Overall score I've put at 7, whereas it would have been a 9 or 10 if not for her.
• Allison (8/5): - The room was clean and quiet and centrally located. I just had one night in Inverness and so it was great to be near the center where I walked to dining and pubs. Parking was close and an easy walk to a nearby garage as recommended. Directions to open the main door if you arrive outside of normal hours are to enter the code and turn the knob FIRST LEFT AND THEN RIGHT. Directions all say to turn right but if you don't turn left first you'll have no luck.
• Emma (9/5): A great stay in Inverness - would definitely recommend for anyone looking for something a bit different - Beautiful and well-decorated room. Generally a great location - you are on the high street so there is noise on the weekends from the surrounding bars / restaurants but it didn’t stop us sleeping at all. It’s also incredible how you cannot hear the music from the Hootananny itself when you are in the same building, and being on top of the music bar really adding something for us as meant to be were able to spend the evening listening to the - frankly incredible - musicians and then hit the hay without having to leave the building. Not the warmest welcome from the staff, but appreciate they are having to juggle serving at the bar at the same time! Whole process however was very easy and should be expected when you’re staying at a music bar rather than a hotel!
• Lanez (10/5): I was only in town for one night but it was the perfect stay. I was pleasantly surprised at how new and fresh the interi - It was centrally located, clean and comfortable No complaints
• Chantal (10/5): -
• David (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): -
• Andrew (8/5): We would love to come back. - Good location, music and food close by. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The wi-fi is by far the worst we've experienced in Scotland. Shower was very slow to drain, easy to overflow onto the floor.
• Michael (10/5): A great, quirky, accommodation experience. - Friendliness of busy bar staff who pretty much dropped everything to lead me to my room. The nicely presented room. Nothing I can think of. It was all great.
• Matt (10/5): Last minute, surprisingly delighted with the stay. - It was updated and quite clean. I really enjoyed the place. As I booked it last minute through a booking site, i was not sure how to check in and had to wander around the restaurant and figure it out.
• Sonia (9/5): Great place, just check you have a fob to get in ! - It’s a great place to stay, my room was on the first floor, and I could barely hear the music, I was obviously not in my room for long. The third was super comfortable and it was a super cozy room. The music was great, but the bar was full of a bit of an older crowd. I went to another bar across the street, and when I came back, hootananny was close I was not aware I had a fob, that was not told to me when I arrived, I had a code to get in, but the code box would light up. ( it’s digital) There where still some workers there that let me in and told me I had a fob, Other than that the place is excellent !
• Nathalie (10/5): Très chouette séjour. - Emplacement au top à 10 min à pied de la gare de bus et de train. Proche de nombreux restaurant et du château. Le pub au rez-de-Chaussée très bien. Il aurait été pratique de pouvoir déposer la valise quand on arrive avant de pouvoir prendre la chambre. Mais les restaurants à proximité permettent de patienter:)
• Martin (7/5): Great location above a very busy pub. Very clean room and warm welcome from staff. - The very warm welcome by Doreen, staff member. Shower was cold.
• Christina (9/5): -
• Bruce (10/5): - Central location, clean, comfy
• Ferdinand (7/5): - Toplocatie boven hele leuke bar. Daarom wel wat luidruchtig. Kamer 3 stinkt naar schimmel vanuit de verder gloednieuwe badkamer. Ik vond dat echt storend.
• Marion (9/5): - Top Lage, bequemes Bett, neues Bad, Netflix ;-), Kaffeemaschine, freundlicher Empfang, unkomplizierter Check in. Nachts durch die belebte Umgebung eher laut, was uns jedoch überhaupt nicht gestört hat. Jammern auf hohem Niveau: Mit einem Kühlschrank wäre alles top gewesen.
• Bill Young (7/5): A complete Hoot - Atmosphere outstanding at night, staff were extremely helpful and city centre location excellent. Not really a hotel but a pub with rooms, albeit very nice and comfortable rooms. Expensive for RO.
• egprior (10/5): - Beautiful, clean room with a comfortable bed and great amenities - this will be our go to when in Inverness now! Great location, seemed like it was only 5-10 minutes walk to anywhere we wanted to go, but still quiet despite being in the city centre. Staff were welcoming and kind, and we loved ending our nights at the pub downstairs. Nothing, it was perfect
• Jenny (10/5): -
• Davenport (8/5): - Fresh linens and nice and clean There was no kettle, there was a fancy coffee machine but couldn't make a cup of tea. Would recommend given the space, have a kettle with coffee bags and be able to make tea and skip the hig fancy machine
• Christopher (9/5): -
• Andy (10/5): Great stay - Large room, comfortable with great bar / music
• Maria (9/5): Inverness rocks - Its vibe
• Linda (9/5): -
• Elanor (10/5): Comfortable fun hotel in the midst of music and bustling nightlife. - We booked here because we were excited to stay above the bar and restaurant. The room was spacious and warmly decorated and the bed and pillows were by far the most comfortable of any in our 2 week trip to Scotland. Loved the extra fancy tea and coffee machine and extensive snack selection. Large bathroom with great shower and giant towels. Great location surrounded by bars and restaurants and close to the rail station. we heard some great music in the bar and appreciated the helpful staff. It didn't bother us at all, but you can hear music from the bar until about 11:00 pm.
• CHAO (10/5): - 位置很好 行李搬上楼比较费力
• Katherine (10/5): It was a Hoot! - Quiet (surprises the rooms are above a very busy pub with nightly live music)! Clean, comfortable, well appointed, en suite room. Safe tub-shower. Food in pub was outstanding and they require a reservation. Music was fabulous. We will definitely return! No lift.... but it's an old building so I get it!!
• Kenneth (8/5): Good place to stay - Nice refurbished room The sound from the music in the bar until midnight
• Suzanne (8/5): -
• Anne (9/5): -
• Antonio (6/5): Struttura carina. Dovrebbero avvisare che fino a mezzanotte si sente la musica del pub di sotto. - La colazione non era prevista. La posizione è molto buona centrale. La camera era pulita e carina. Stile antico però confortevole. Macchina del caffè in camera Purtroppo fino a mezzanotte la musica proveniente dal pub sottostante si sentiva forte e non abbiamo potuto dormire bene.
• Brian (9/5): - It was one of the nicest rooms of our trip, surprisingly based on the restaurant/bar appearance on the ground floor. The bed was very comfortable, the room was recently updated and had an expensive coffee machine. There was a small view of the river. Climbing up the stairs to the third floor.
• Tamara (9/5): Great, with l live music downstairs - Great location, lovely room
• Yuko (8/5): -
• Maria Andrea (10/5): Hermoso y cómodo - La habitación hermosa, cómoda y con excelente insonorización. Además dejan amenities gluten free. Todo perfecto. El sistema de check in y check out es super simple y autónomo. Y el bar abajo permite disfrutar de la música escocesa sin complicaciones Que no tiene ascensor (pero el chico del bar me ayudó a subir mi maleta)
• Anne (9/5): - Great location - near river and, sights and railway station. Nick and his staff were exceptional in so many ways - thank you! Fantastic Scottish folk singing in the pub part of the hotel - wonderful atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend the Hootananny
• Peter (8/5): A happening and lively place - Beautiful room, the best duvet ever and very nicely decorated. Had a room on the front, just above the (live music) pub and opposite a very lively karaoke bar so expect lot's of noise. I didn't mind so much myself but maybe some people do. There's no facilities to leave your bad after check out - but the busstation on 2 minutes walking has a storage facility for 3 pounds per day.
• Adrienne (10/5): Amazing Stay in an Amazing City! - Checking in was easy and friendly. Host was exceptional and the room was in a great location in the city! Even better was the restaurant and the bar below that gave us great music and food before heading to bed. :) There was nothing we didn't like. Just keep in mind there are stairs and no lift / elevator.
• Fabian Sagebiel (9/5): - Überraschend großes und schönes Zimmer mit guter Ausstattung. Achtung: Die Zimmer liegen direkt über dem Pub. Wer lärmempfindlich ist, könnte gestört werden.
• sandro (10/5): - Très bonne surprise, chambre de belle qualité, confortable et de bon gout. le bar / restaurant est un vrai plus avec l'ambiance musicale associée. .
• Jose (10/5): -
• elaine (9/5): - great boutique hotel in town centre minutes from station
• jsuds67 (7/5): Hootananny is an experience - The location was perfect. The musicians at the restaurant were exceptional. Hotel guests do not get priority at the restaurant. An early dinner reservation means you lose your table and have to scramble for a spot in the small bar area to watch the musicians. Tip: take a dinner reservation after 8pm. Few isdues the bed very soft, and a small fridge would be nice. Oh and there is no lift - so be prepared to carry bags up at least one floor, maybe two.
• giorgia (8/5): VITA DA PUB A INVERNESS - Posizionata nella zona centrale di Inverness, camere accoglienti e pulite. Intrattenimento serale con musica dal vivo nel pub sottostante. Camere poco insonorizzate, con rumore di musica fino a tardi (prevedibile visto che le camere sono sopra il pub).
• Giovanni (10/5): Perfetto - Posizione perfetta. Molto confortevole.
• Trine (10/5): -
• Henriette (9/5): -
• Tue Nha Tran (10/5): - Deserves no less than a 10/10. The room was so clean and felt really homely, the bathroom was so beautiful, the towels where thick and fresh, and despite being on top of a pub with live music it was very quiet in the room, we slept so well! In general, it was very clear that a lot of thought was put into designing and taking care of the rooms, and this was very appreciated! Also do not miss out on dining at the restaurant, the food is really good and the music just added the magic to our trip! We will definitely be back! Nothing at all!
• Hutchinson (10/5): Great - Great fun. Really comfortable and the rooms were beautifully decorated.
• Lauri (9/5): Wonderful four day base in Inverness. - Central location, great friendly staff, a wonderful bar/restaurant just below with live traditional music. The staff were so friendly and lovely. If you want a unique stay - stay here Nothing was bad- just know no lift or aircon, which isn’t unusual just be prepared.
• Heather (9/5): We had a Hoot. - Best pillows and bed in our trip so far! Very comfortable. The room was clean, pretty, and spacious. Really good water pressure! Checking in and out was very easy. Nick was nice. Music downstairs was fun, always, and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed our stay. I rate 9-9.5. The bed was really great. The things we disliked are very minor. The climb up two flights to our room was arduous at times, but that was more the condition of my hurt foot, so I can't fault them for that. The shower floor is super slippery. We put a small towel down, and that solved the problem. I just wrung the towel the day we left. The toilet is snug against the wall, but that was minor. Saturday night is busy and loud, not just at Hootananny. We knew that checking in so that when the two young men who belted out some lyrics as they were leaving the karaoke bar across the street at 3 a.m., we laughed and fell back asleep. The whole street is busy with happy partying people.
• Lúcia (7/5): - Da localização Da ventilação do quarto, da cama.
• Julio (7/5): - Location was very good. However very noisy It was extremely noisy from the bar below and from the street
• Kimberly (10/5): It was a lovely stay in a great part of Inverness. - Clean and lively location
• rosario (6/5): -
• Alberto (9/5): -
• Donna (8/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Want the unlimate Scotland experience, spend a night here and emerse yourself. - It was a cozy oasis in the city center. You could hear the outside but it was muffled. We spend the evening with dinner and listening to music. I love it and will come back. There was nothing that I did not like about the location.
• Randall (9/5): -
• Francesco (8/5): -
• Jakobsen (5/5): - To expensive
• Jean-Yves (8/5): Bel endroit pour un court séjour. - L’emplacement, le confort, la propreté. Il peut y avoir assez de bruit le soir sur la rue ce qui peut rendre le sommeil difficile.
• Ivan (10/5): Right in the heart of the action - Excellent location, very comfy bed, good shower, room nicely decorated. Not much to say, maybe a mini fridge in room
• stuart (9/5): - The room is great and bed the bar and music always has been fantastic The toilet was to close to the wall is the only thing wrong.
• Licia (8/5): Ottima location - Eccellente posizione! La camera era grande, pulita e con tutti i comfort (macchinetta del caffè Nespresso con cialde e altri prodotti). Ottima la cena con musica dal vivo al pub sottostante. Il check in non è stato facile: nonostante ci fossimo presentate alle 16, orario nel quale avrebbe dovuto esserci una persona ad accoglierci (secondo quanto scritto nella mail ricevuta un paio di giorni prima del soggiorno), non abbiamo trovato nessuno. Siamo dovute entrare nel pub e cercare qualcuno che ci aiutasse!! Attenzione: nell pub sottostante c'è musica dal vivo fino a mezzanotte durante la settimana e fino alle 3 nel weekend. Tappi per le orecchie consigliati!!
• Adele (9/5): -
• Roy (9/5): Super hotel for music, great food and authentic music. - Hootenanny is a quirky fun hotel, but the real treat is the pub downstairs where the live Scottish music plays every night and great food is served. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Super location near bus station and rail station. Couple of blocks to the center of town, river walk, and lots of sights. Hotel only does dinner, but there are lots of breakfast and lunch spots all around. And even though we were right over the venue, the sound level was fine plus they tone it way down at 11. Only thing could have help was a lift, but then we are well into our 70’s. They helped out by putting us in the lowest level, which is still a flight up.
• Simon (9/5): -
• Liam (10/5): Excellent location - Brilliant stay in excellent location. The music and food downstairs in the bar was really good. We stayed when it was 30 degrees outside and the windows don't open, thankfully their was a fan in the room which was a godsend. We couldn't change the temperature of the shower and the one setting you could have was absolutely boiling! That was the only small gripe I would have
• Meindert (6/5): Niet nog eens, als we hadden geweten dat er een pub onder zat met live muziek hadden we hier niet geboekt. Geen ontbijt - De locatie Dat er ‘s avonds in de pub onder het hotel een band keiharde muziek speelt. Tot 2300 herrie.
• Greg (9/5): Good value. Perfect location and a spotless comfortable room - The room was extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean.
• Beatrice (9/5): - Sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Schönes Zimmer an guter Lage. Der Nachtclub auf der anderen Strassenseite war sehr laut.
• Johansson (8/5): En trevlig måndag kväll med god mat och levande musik. - Centralt läge, bekväma sängar, tyst. Trevlig pub med bra mat. Trevligt med ”live music” i puben. Trapporna, ingen hiss.
• Alice (9/5): - Location, large clean and comfortable room, friendly staff (Dorene.) Quiet after 11pm. Rooms are located directly above a music venue. Music was pleasant Celtic folk, but went on until 11pm. Beware of powerful faucet in tiny sink!
