Had a lovely night at the Palace Hotel, bedroom was a good size and decorated beautifully. Had a swim and a jacuzzi and felt very relaxed before heading out for dinner and tails. Breakfast could have been hotter, food was luke warm but enjoyable all the same. Very noisy people above us, thought the lightshade was going to come off the ceiling many times through the night and next morning but obviously this doesn't reflect on the hotel at all as there's nothing that can be done to stop people stomping about.

Very easy check in at the Palace Hotel. Public areas are renovated and very attractive. The leisure suite is excellent. Spotless and well kept. Staff are so helpful and friendly. Our room had a poor outlook and location within the hotel. Lots of corridors, lift and fire doors to deal with. These tend to slam at night and early morning. We both struggled with the brick hard mattresses and as all rooms have the same, no solution could be found so we moved to another hotel for our 2nd night. Breakfast was also not good. All cooked beforehand and sitting in bain Marie pots. The food was like warm and ruined. Even the eggs had been cooked along time in advance and were rubbery. Another reason for our early check out from this Best Western.

Room was lovely and Hotel as well as lovely leisure facilities but big let down was Brasserie and Restaurant. Meal on 1st night was not great and breakfast was cold and items not put out and when they brought them it was cold. This is something they really have to work on as it lets the hotel down. When we complained they just said oh will tell the chef.

Hotel reply...

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review, Shirley. We are pleased to hear that the hotel met your expectations; however, I am very upset to hear about your experience in the restaurant during breakfast, this is disappointing to hear as we always take pride in our service and quality. I will definitely raise this with the Food and Beverage manager to discuss with their team. I hope that you enjoyed your time in Inverness. Kind regards, Angelika

Yet another lovely stay at the Palace, our first since November 2019 thanks to COVID! First time in the newer wing (room 108) but room was modern, spotless and big enough for the two of us. The bed was really comfortable and it was quiet being at the back, but absolutely no view (a rooftop!); thankfully the weather was lovely so we weren’t in the room that much. Breakfast was amazing, as always - this time we had to book a time slot the evening before but it kept the numbers down meaning they could still offer the buffet style my husband loves!! I treated myself to a pedicure at the Sleeping Beauty spa and it was perfect - just what the doctor ordered after a long day walking and shopping. Our deal included two mini bottles of Prosecco which wasn’t in our room but that was quickly rectified after making reception aware.

On the whole really enjoyed the break, waiting and housekeeping were excellent. The reception staff seemed totally disorganised. I realise that a large bus party was in residence the first night and there was confusion about meal times and where we were to eat dinner. There was a distinctive lack of signage in the spa/ pool area. No spinner for drying swimwear. Floor awash with water in the changing rooms. There was a floor mop but as a guest didn’t think it was our job to clean the area.Reception in this area could have been more forthcoming. I would stay again in the future.

Brilliant room with fantastic views. The hotel is spotless,the staff are friendly and efficient and the food is too die for. Only complaint if you could call it that was the size of the portions,they are huge so unfortunately no room for pudding. Were there to celebrate our golden wedding and the hotel and staff made it extra special

Amazing value for a 2 night stay with breakfast and use of the spa facilities. The reception staff were so polite and helpful. Minutes walk into town and the river side walks. Highly recommended, would be my first choice for a stay in Inverness.

Lovely hotel situated a few minutes walk from the city centre. All rooms are clean and spacious albeit this is a pet friendly hotel and we were unfortunate enough to have a barking dog next door. Best rooms are situated at the front of the hotel. Lovely breakfast.

Just back from 2 night stay here. Very disappointed, reception staff and food definitely not 4 star. When we arrived we were advised that lockers were available for the pool, pound coin required, however on enquiring at leisure club we were informed we could have robes and slippers to wear over swimsuits, we just had to ask at reception! Why were we not just informed of this? Food not good, not 4 star quality. No flannels in bathroom either, very basic in there. Waited most of the day for room to be made up. No atmosphere, no ambience. On leaving, bill not accurate, charged £100 over, quickly resolved, overall impression not impressed, won’t return.
