I stayed here during a three-day tour of the Scottish Highlands, with Inverness as my base. The hotel is very well located, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast normally starts at 8:00 am, but since my tour left at 7:30 am, the team was extremely kind and arranged an earlier breakfast for me. I really appreciated their flexibility and hospitality. I highly recommend this hotel.

I had a wonderful stay recently at MacDougall Clansman Hotel. Iain and staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The hotel and rooms were immaculate and had all the necessary amenities. There was a heatwave happening and they were able to provide a room fan to help keep me comfortable. The location was central to all the main sights and was extremely walkable which was super convenient. The inclusion of fresh breakfast in the morning was a standout feature and fuelled me for the day of sightseeing. I cannot recommend MacDougall Clansman Hotel enough for anyone planning a trip to Inverness.
