Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was my second year staying at the Glenmoriston. The Glenmoriston is in a great location, close walking distance to the city center but yet in a quiet area on the River Ness. Good accommodations, rooms are cozy, always clean, staff always helpful and great breakfast. If I visit Scotland (Inverness) again, this will be my hotel of choice."
