The location cannot be faulted, only minutes from train and bus stations as well as the banks of the River Ness. Nearness to the train station was an essential with a late arrival by train into Inverness. As well as setting one up well for the day ahead, breakfast serving times allowed for early getaways for hikes through the hills, too. Otherwise, the room worked well with good views along the river.

There was a little confusion on the first morning regarding my pre-payment for breakfast, which was sorted by a quick check with reception. My own lack of alertness prevented me from mentioning that we discussed this on arrival too. For the sake of other guests, take care to ensure that doors close without slamming; there is no tapering action on the door closers. Here, I cannot claim innocence regarding noisy closures, but it is something that comes to mind.

The warm welcoming smile from Ak at reception much appreciated after the long trip back from London. The friendly but professional way she quickly checked me in no request to big or to small a credit to Mercure Inverness . And JoJo on the morning shift what can I say a true superstar as always professional,classy helpfully cheery friendly .helped reunite me with my glasses I left in the room when checked out . Many thanks to the housekeeping for keeping my glasses safe untill I returned for them. It's always a pleasure being checked in by these two young professionals hope they go far in this industry/company.

The reception area was lovely decorated

The room and bed were both quite small and with the bed being against the wall I had to either climb over my husband or get out at bottom of bed whn visiting the toilet through the night.

We loved the location...it was absolutely perfect for us as a young couple who like a little bit of a party but love nature, calm places and pretty views. We were able to get to the shops easily and the venue we chose for our Hogmanay celebration was about 4 doors down. Staff were friendly enough though we had minimal interaction. Breakfast was clean, plentiful and organised. The whole hotel was clean, it was quiet, even over New Year in the city centre. We have experienced the opposite in other places so it was certainly noticed!

We felt the shower in the room (319) was in need of a descale as a lot of the jets had no water flow and the bathroom needed some sort of extraction system as showers made the whole room wet. There were only 2 plug sockets in the whole room...neither of them next to the bed, which young people really do love now! It was very dark in the room, great for the sleeping part though my boyfriend had to hold a phone torch up so I could do my makeup.

Great room, fantastic location, good food. What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the extraordinary kindness and professionalism of the staff. During our stay, we faced some unexpected difficulties, and the team went above and beyond to assist us by willingly offering practical solutions, checking in to ensure we were okay, and even extending small but meaningful gestures of care. Their genuine compassion turned what could have been a stressful situation into a manageable and even uplifting experience. In particular, we would like to thank both Caitlyn and Jo for their kindness and assistance. This culture of exceptional care among the staff was further evident when we returned to the hotel a few weeks later. We were greeted like old friends, with a warmth and familiarity that made us feel truly valued. The staff’s commitment to outstanding service was reaffirmed just last week when I received a parking notice from the private company managing the hotel’s car park. A quick call to the hotel was all it took – Jo, the receptionist, assured me the charge would be cancelled immediately. What stood out even more was the genuine warmth of our conversation; she took the time to ask about the challenges we had faced during our previous visit to the town and showed heartfelt concern for our well-being. This personal touch elevated the already impeccable service, leaving us even more impressed by the thoughtfulness and dedication of the team. I can 100% guarantee that I will be staying at the Hotel Mercure whenever I visit Inverness in the future. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, this hotel is a true gem that guarantees not just cleanliness and comfort, but also the kind of thoughtful, heartfelt service that makes all the difference. Five stars all the way!

The location of this hotel is excellent and walking distance to the river walk. The buffet breakfast was very good (variety of food) and I was pleased that they switched our "noisy" room to a much quieter area of the hotel that had the view of the river and spacious. The host were very friendly, and accommodating to our needs. I had to use a mobility scooter to get around and the hotel stored the scooter and charged the battery. Both rooms were clean and smelled good. Both rooms were fully equipped with essentials like, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, etc. This hotel is only two blocks away from the train and bus station.

If you want to sleep ask for a room facing the river. The rooms that face the city are noisy from the people partying in the Pubs till 4:00am. It's not the hotel's fault, it's just too bad about the noise in the front of the hotel.

The room was great, excellent value for money, the bar staff were great, super helpful, friendly, as were the reception .. nobother bringing extra milk and coffee. Loved the details in the room,the painted wardrobe the complimentary items are lovely, the bath robes and slippers all good quality too. Huge bed! & amused by the ceiling addition! Lovely and warm.

Bulb missing from my bedside light. Poor lighting over the coffee area, the shower temperature was difficult to control & not very warm, & the conditioner was empty! Was a little noisier due to being near the exit doors.
