別棟の廊下は狭く、部屋の水回りが古い。
Lovely riverfront location, easy to park and very friendly people. It’s a historic hotel so not super modern but it was very clean and well maintained.
Clean, well maintained and great service and staff.
Great view from the room
A few problems in the room, all minor but not what you’d expect at £598 a night.
Usual problem faced by hotels with EV chargers where they are all blocked by combustion engine cars with an I’m alright Jack attitude and parked all night
Great staff helped us out with this last minute booking!
Les habitacions amples i els llits còmodes. Bona situació.
L'esmorzar bastant bàsic.
The staff were welcoming and the location was excellent. We only spent one night but would highly recommend and return.

Top Lage: direkt am Fluss mit Blick auf Inverness Castle am Rand der Innenstadt, alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß schnell erreichbar, das Zimmer war sehr groß und sehr schön ausgestattet, Frühstück: typische englisch/schottisches Frühstück, für Individualreisende: es sind auch Reisegruppen im Hotel untergebracht, daher eine Frühstückszeit ab 08.30 h wählen um Warteschlangen zu vermeiden
Everything
Parking
I specifically booked a hotel - and we were put into a guest house which the hotel owned with no lift. So I had to carry a 20kg bag up 3 flights of stairs.
No fridge - no water.
Messy appliances and no storage space. Sound insulation appalling
The Best Western Palace Hotel is without question, the worst four-star hotel I have ever stayed in, and I have traveled extensively around the world for more than 30 years.
We paid £1,500 for three nights — over $2,000 USD — and it was an absolute rip-off. In my opinion, this hotel is three-star at best, and even that would be generous.
We knew the rooms were small, but small is one thing — having virtually nowhere to put your belongings is another. There were no closets, no drawers, no proper storage, no drinking glasses, no bottle of water, and virtually none of the amenities you would expect at a hotel charging this kind of price.
One of the rooms they showed us had the bathroom across the hallway from the bedroom — for approximately $500 a night! I don’t expect a huge room, but at that price, I absolutely expect basic comfort and proper facilities.
The bathroom had a tiny prefab-style shower and exactly two towels. There was no proper air conditioning, only a fan. The windows opened at an awkward angle, making it almost impossible to walk past them without banging your head.
And then there is the food. Breakfast was barely edible, and the other food we paid extra for was more like a poor fast-food restaurant than something you would expect from a hotel advertised as four-star. At nearly $500 a night, breakfast wasn’t even included.
The staff were apologetic and tried to be understanding, but there was only so much they could do because the problem is clearly the hotel itself and the standard it is operating at.
I am extremely disappointed that I booked this hotel through American Express, and this experience has certainly made me rethink doing that again.
Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. Unless this hotel is charging around $100 a night, I cannot imagine how anyone could consider it worth the price.
Do not stay here. You will be paying four-star prices for a hotel that, in my opinion, is nowhere close to four-star quality.
View was great. Location was fantastic. Room was very comfortable, seemed newly renovated. Great water pressure in the shower.
Parking is dicey, elevator is small.
Location is great, clean and well maintained.
No aircon in our room, but there was a fan. We were there for 6 days and breakfast is exactly the same every day. Alternatives or variety would spice things up a bit.
Bra läge skön säng fint badrum.
Ingen hiss och ingen AC på ett 4 star hotel.
Frukosten var kaosartad massa människor som jobbade men mitt kaffe och toast glömdes bort..Nej kändes inte som bra organiserat alls.
Nous avons apprécié le charme du bâtiment , la propreté, la piscine, l’emplacement et son parking, le choix au petit déjeuner dont le travail du serveur et son professionnalisme .
Nous avons été déçu du manque de professionnalisme des serveuses au petit déjeuner ( regrouper en groupe et bruyante, non à l’écoute ), le manque de sourires de la plupart du personnel. Dans la chambre ( pas de réfrigérateur , insonorisation très mauvaise , ascenseur unique pour 2/3 personnes maxi, Tv+ prises USB pas pratique ). Nous n’avons pas trouver la qualité de prestation d’un palace à 570€ la nuit mais celle d’un 3* maxi a 250€/nuit.

I am a travel agent traveling with my Collette group of 32. Although some of my group have lovely rooms, I am in room 012. It is a small cramped room with a view of the roof and a double bed for two of us. The bathroom is equally small. I honestly can’t figure out how to fit two suitcases in my room. This room is suitable for a single only!!!
Eccellente posizione
Mi avevano assegnato una camera diversa da quella che avevo prenotato, fortunatamente dopo vari tentativi era disponibile una camera migliore e mi hanno dato quella altrimenti sarei andata via facendomi rimborsare. La camera che mi avevano dato dire che era terribile era poco; tenendo conto soprattutto dei 500€ pagati per notte senza colazione. Colazione che ho pagato a parte che non era assolutamente da un hotel 4 stelle, per avere un decaffeinato bisognava pagare una differenza, incredibile.
