What guests think

Black Isle Bar & Rooms offers simple, budget-friendly accommodation above a lively pub in the heart of Inverness, with many guests praising the central location, friendly staff, and popular bar serving good pizzas and drinks.

Rooms are small and very basic, often without a TV, and several reviewers found beds or pillows uncomfortable. Noise from the surrounding nightlife is common until around midnight or later, and some rooms felt hot unless windows were opened, which increased street noise. Cleanliness is generally good, though a few noted odors, minor mold, or drainage issues. Expect a no-frills stay suited to travellers who value location and a busy pub scene.

The room was tint but worked for what we needed. The best part of this place was the bar/restaurant. The ove made pizzas were delicious and the organic cider was perfect. Super easy stay on a very busy trip to Inverness.

Super kind staff, room was up on 3rd floor, no lift. Neighborhood was pretty raucous though the actual pub noise was absolutely minimum so not too loud to sleep. Tons of places to eat in the neighborhood. Very central and short walking distance to both bus depot and train station. I would consider staying here again.

Came in after completing the last stage of the Great Glen Way. Check in was easy at the bar. Room was upstairs. Side door to access rooms without going through the bar area (or when closed). A little loud as the beer garden was audible, but I was warned of that in advance and it wasn't loud enough to disturb me. Room was small, but big enough for me and my pack. Had a stool to sit on, and I would have liked a chair with a back. Because of bar opening hours, was no place to leave my bag at checkout to further explore before leaving town, but that was OK. Well situated in the old town, pubs and restaurants abound.

Had a comfortable stay at Room 3. Room and bathroom look new with sufficient lightings. Excellent shower system with hot water within a few seconds and strong water pressure. There was no cupboard nor hangers but with 3 hanging hooks. Quick and smooth check-in with James who so willingly assisted with my luggage during both check-in and check-out. Short walk to Inverness station, Inverness Castle, Inverness Cathedral, River Ness, local tour meeting points and shops. Will be back again.

Check in was quick and easy. Room was clean. Bed was very uncomfortable and could feel every spring. Shower had mold and room had a musty odor near toilet. Could hear every noise from the hallway and staircase. Expected to hear the bar below but was surprised i could also hear the bars across the way. Its a convenient location but wouldn't stay here again.

The room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. There is some street noise when you have your window open at night. I was still able to sleep but many hotels in the main area would have the same problem if you are near the pubs.

I didn't expect the daily cleaning, but the hotel cleaned my room on the second day. There was no TV and the water was not draining out of my bathroom basin. And it was a bit stinky (like food or vomit ...) in the stairs. Staff was so kind, and there were some popular restaurants nearby, but it has a famous bar itself.

Checking in was at the bar of a very busy pub. When we arrived at our room (no7) we found it to be clean but have a strong chemical smell. This smell remained throughout our stay. We were disappointed there was no tv within the room - something we have never experienced in a hotel room before. The bed was very uncomfortable-mattress springs could be felt when laying on the bed. When you entered the on-suite shower room you could hear conversations from the bar downstairs-floor around water pipes to the sink were not sealed and noise transmitted upwards from bar.

Convenient location room was clean. Very nice helpful staff. Restaurant food very good. That being said it was hardly a room. We reserved a double room not a room with bunk beds, only a shelf on the wall with tea pot. Only window ventilation and only one stool to sit on, no place to store your clothes. No TV. We stayed at the hostel last year and the room was much larger and a TV in the lounge.

Booked online. There is a bar downstairs that closes at midnight. If you don’t mind being kept awake until 2 am because of the noise from the bar and the people and traffic in the street then this is the place for you. The room was nice enough. A fan would have been greatly appreciated. Parking is off site.
