    Noise levels from the pub below can be quite disruptive, so consider earplugs!!! Parking difficulties aren't well communicated, leading to unnecessary frustration!!!

    area navigation

    During my stay at Blackfriars, I was charmed by the lovely decor that featured historical elements, which added warmth and character to the ambiance. The staff were incredibly accommodating, making it easy for us seniors to navigate the property.

    Some areas could be more wheelchair accessible.

    Wonderful stay with friendly staff

    We had a fantastic experience with spacious and clean rooms that offered great views. The staff were truly exceptional, especially Dean at breakfast, who provided helpful tips and topped off our water bottles. The location was perfect, just a short walk from local attractions and the beautiful River Ness. an AC would have made our unusually warm stay more comfortable.

    Awesome stay with our pups!

    We had such a fab time! The staff were super friendly, especially Ali and Roger, who took the time to make us feel at home. Our room was clean and comfy with a great shower. The pub downstairs had nice vibes, and breakfast was delish! Only wish there was a bit more room for parking.

    renovated room
    delicious breakfast
    limited luggage space
    noisy atmosphere
    minimal amenities

    Situated conveniently near transport links, this boutique hotel features beautifully renovated rooms, with ours boasting a large soaking tub that was a real treat after a busy day. The breakfast menu included delicious options, even suitable for vegans, allowing guests to enjoy local specialties like haggis and black pudding. some areas for improvement included limited space in the room for luggage and a slightly noisy pub atmosphere at night.

    I loved my stay at Blackfriars! The clean, charming room offered a warm welcome with delightful treats. Being in the heart of Inverness allowed easy access to local art and music events. The pub downstairs had great service, though the front door can be tricky late at night.

    street noise
    lack of a/c

    I had a great time at Blackfriars! The room was spacious and clean. Really enjoyed the fantastic pressure in the shower. The bathroom felt modern. A delightful touch was the cookies and bottled water waiting for me. The location is perfect, just a short walk to shops and the train station. The staff were friendly and helpful, made me feel welcomed right away. The pub below served yummy food, adding to the cozy atmosphere. the noise from the street was noticeable at times, especially late at night. It definitely interfered with my sleep. The absence of A/C might be uncomfortable during warmer weather too, but a fan was provided. this place is charming, just needs a bit of work on noise control.

    A Cozy Stay with Room for Improvement

    We enjoyed our three-night stay in a spacious Deluxe Double or Twin Room. The staff were friendly, making check-in smooth. the noise from live music took some getting used to. For a better breakfast experience, consider adding more variety to the menu.

    disruptive noise
    lacking service

    The atmosphere at Blackfriars is enjoyable, with a vibrant pub downstairs and welcoming staff. the noise from live music can be disruptive, and service at times felt lacking. While the cozy room had a lovely view, a musty smell lingered. it's a nice spot with room for improvement.
