Location couldn’t have been better, room was comfortable and clean. A few things seemed like they needed some attention (coffee maker didn’t work, no anti-slip shower mat, keys were kind of annoying) but those were very minor and overall it was great. I’d recommend it for anyone staying in Inverness.

This historic building is in the perfect location. The dining area is remodeled and absolutely beautiful. Food is really good. The rooms are very nice as well. Just remember there’s no lifts to rooms as it’s a historic building. The location is so close to rail and bus stations. The staff is super nice and very helpful with any needs you might have. Would highly recommend staying here.

Very close to the bus station where you can catch the Jacobite cruise bus and other tour buses. I do suggest that you advertise to people that there is no on premises parking but the car park is a couple blocks away. The people were so courteous and the attached restaurant had such delicious Scottish fare. Wonderful place to stay.

Black Friers was a nice location. It was close to train station. Room was clean and staff were friendly. We ate dinner there one night. I recommend the grilled salmon. I am not one who eats the skin on salmon, but it was cooked so crispy that I ate it all. It was delicious.
