Beds need updating and there was a distinct mould smell about the place. No aircon so the room was very stuffy.
Breakfast was ok, but the eggs were terrible. The yolk was almost white and they had zero flavour

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.

Tahir Emre
Great central location and clean rooms. Delicious breakfast and friendly service.
Rajesh
Centrally located, and steps away from the railway and bus stations. River ness and the beautiful bridges over it are just behind the hotel. Hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Breakfast is phenomenal. Staff very courteous and helpful. Highly recommended.
Terri
The location is brilliant - close to the river and the train station as well as the Victorian Market and all the restaurants & shops. The room was very clean and the bed super comfortable. There are lots of options for breakfast and my choice was cooked to perfection. Iain was very welcoming and helpful. I'd highly recommend.
Roderick
Great place to stay. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed breakfast each morning. Comfortable rooms. Highly recommended.
Richard
The location was excellent for visiting the churches, the train and bus stations, and local bars with music. This is a small, family run hotel and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the breakfast food choices and quality each morning.
Gaurav
Great place to stay, right in the middle of all the hotspots.
Nicole
Wonderful stay! Very accommodating host. Hotel was clean and genuinely Scottish.
Gregory
The innkeeper has to be about the nicest gentleman in existence and bent over backwards to be helpful, including with the delicious breakfast. The facilities have a more \"Scottish\" feel than most places you'll find nearby; this is not a cookie-cutter hotel and I appreciated that. The bed was great. And since the core of Inverness is not huge, you're right in the middle of everything. Pretty much a can't miss.
Jennifer
Breakfast was great. Lots of options. Staff was friendly and attentive. The area is very walkable and laundry close by!!
TANVI
When you first arrive at the MacDougall Clansman Hotel, you might notice that the property feels a bit dated. However, what it lacks in appearance it more than makes up for with incredibly kind and personal service.
Iain was such a gracious host — always checking in to see if we needed anything and making sure we were well taken care of. His warmth and hospitality truly made our stay memorable.
The location is excellent — very central, yet surprisingly quiet — and there’s even a superb bookshop right next door, which was a lovely bonus.
Overall, this is a charming and comfortable place to stay in Inverness, thanks to the genuine care and hospitality of the people who run it.

Nice & clean hotel that runs more like a B&B than hotel, with staff that make you feel very welcome. Excellent location to get anywhere you need to in Inverness via foot, bus, or train.

Clean, comfortable, quiet, in a great location with a fantastic host and complimentary made-to-order breakfast.

Very friendly and helpful hosts. Plenty of breakfast options and helped to sort an early breakfast out for when we had a coach trip to the Isle of Skye

Great service! Great communication and such kind people from even before I got there. Super convenient location as well
Verified traveler
The Clansman hotel is in a great location near the train station and central Inverness. Staff/owners were accommodating and helpful. A clean, but older facility.
Victoria
Stayed at the MacDougal Clansman Hotel for 3 nights this summer on a girls trip for myself and my aunt in her 60's. This is the perfect family-run operation in my opinion. Iain was in communication with us to coordinate for our check-in (we arrived on an incredibly early train into Inverness, unfortunately), and he was very accommodating. Not only did he offer to keep our bags, but a room opened up and he let us switch into the free room without any fuss so we could freshen up earlier than we'd thought we'd be able to. We ended up staying on the 2nd floor corner room (3rd floor for the fellow Americans) and had a great view down the street so we could people watch on our early nights. Some tourists out in the area were louder than others, but it was wholly unrelated to this hotel - I'll absolutely stay here again if I find myself in Inverness again. Very safe and as comfortable as staying with your own family.
Its a great location, you can walk anywhere you'll need to get in Inverness and won't have to call a cab. In fact, between the bus station (the ladies in the counter at the bus station were SUPER helpful as well - I highly recommend stopping by in person to coordinate your out-of-town travels) and the hop-on/hop-off bus, we were able to get all around town. We also took a day trip to Skye one of the days staying here and could walk to the pick-up spot easily! I can't emphasize the convenience of this location enough.
Thank you Iain and team! We'll be back!

Lovely place with a great breakfast! Very accommodating and clean. If we are ever in Inverness again we will be staying here again! Rooms were comfortable!
Michelle
The hotel was very nice and the morning breakfast was delicious. It all had an old world charm.
William
Great location near the pubs and restaurants. Staff was friendly and the room was serviceable for the brief stay we had in Inverness.
Janette
Great family run hotel. The room was spotless and Ian was very accommodating and provided early breakfast for us on both days as we had early departures. We would stay there again if we return to Inverness.
Simon
Quaint hotel, excellent service
Proprietor was very friendly and helpful and made sure I had breakfast when I had to go to work in the early hours
Richard

Fantastic little hotel, city centre, friendly owners and staff
Cynthia
Don't be put off by the musty smell in the foyer when you enter. It is an old building, but full of charm. Our room was impecably clean with a super comfy bed, elec kettle with tea and coffee and a few lovely biscuits! When the pubs in the area close it can be a bit noisy but bring your earplugs and you'll be fine!
Unfortunately we had to leave on our tours early each morning so didn't get to experience the full breakfast provided in a lovely dining room. However Ian was very accommodating and provided us with everything we needed for a cold breakfast- fruit, croissants, and energy bars.

Robert
This hotel is right on Church Street and right in the middle of all the shops, pubs, etc. The owner was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating. We left very early for Edinburgh and he left out a kettle to make coffee, toaster, bread, cereals and other snacks because we were missing the breakfast that was included in the price.
Diane
What a hidden gem! This is a very welcoming, clean, and comfortable place to stay in Inverness. Ian was an excellent host and is very knowledgeable about the area. I highly recommend this hotel!

Extremely pleasant and hospitable staff with old timey charm. While not an updated facility, it was clean and comfortable. The free breakfast service was an added perk. I would absolutely recommend it and would stay again should I return to Inverness.

Joan
This is a family run property with owners who are very helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were delicious. The property is older, located in the historic downtown area of Inverness, very convenient to the railway station, bus lines, tourist facilities and many nearby restaurants, including several with live music. Our room was large and had a very recently renovated bathroom, opening windows and comfortable beds. The only disadvantage was the lack of an elevator.
Susan
The breakfast was good but stale oatmeal cakes and solidified honey. Rooms and decor need an update!
Elizabeth
We loved this quaint little hotel which is more like a bed and breakfast. The owner is very personable and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and made to order. You are within walking distance to the river, train station and the heart of Inverness. The room was very comfortable.
Chris
A very enjoyable stay
chris
The MacDougall Clansman is a 5 minute walk from the bus or train station. A great feature if you don't have a car. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Breakfast is what you would expect. Everything from cereals and toast to a full fry-up. Coffee. Tea. Juice. For us it was the owner that made the deal. He greeted us upon arrival and did so with a smile that never waned. He was sincere in wanting us to have a great stay and did not disappoint. Going so far as setting up a breakfast option for us early in the morning before regular hours to accommodate our traveling schedule. Highly Recommended.
Sheila
Perfect for me
It was perfect for me.
I wanted a quiet relaxing stay, near city amenities. Also it was central but minutes from the river for a relaxing walk.
Maybe if you want more WiFi and business facilities you would be better off booking a chain hotel.
However, the owner did say they could help with urgent matters.

Loved it!
Lovely hotel right in the heart of Inverness. The room has everything you need and was very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and the ingredients were high quality - which seems to be a rarity these days! Stayed for two nights and would definitely return.

My time in Inverness
My whole expierance was grest from start to finsh. Staff were nice and friendly and breakfast was excellant including my eggs. Only downside is cleaner coming into my room without me beeing there in person or warning beforehand. Otherwise a good. Stayed overall.
Craig
Lovely property and superb host/owner. The only negative comment (,which is true for all Inverness), is the 24/7 screeching seagulls...they never sleep. The inclusive breakfast was fab and so close to the station and dining areas.
Adam
Wonderful stay, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast included was delicious.
Thomas

I would definitely recommend this hotel. Ian, our host was very friendly and helpful. The room was basic, but very comfortable. The shower/toilet was clean. The star of the show was the breakfast. DELICIOUS.

Jack
This was our favorite hotel on our trip to Scotland. The location is great and we had a totally comfy stay. This is a family run hotel and you can tell. Iain was a great host and he made sure we felt welcomed. He even set us up with a \"do it yourself\" breakfast on a day we had to leave early for a tour. The room was quiet and comfortable. It's definitely not ultra-modern... and that's one of the things I loved about it. And you can walk anywhere in town from the hotel in just a few minutes.
Janette
Very centrally located. Close to shops and riverside walks.
Hebah
The owners of the property are very kind and sweet. The breakfast is delicious and they will leave you breakfast is you have to go out early to a tour. It is walkable from every area of town and very close to the train and bus station. There is shopping and wonderful restaurants all around. The street that it is on is busy on the weekend and you can hear people shouting and singing late into the night. I fell asleep despite being a pretty light sleeper. The place is older and quirky which is part of the fun. It could use an update the section I stayed in smelled extremely strong of body odor and me and all my belongings smelled of mildew. By the time I left it was starting to bother me. It smells like that when you enter the property as well. I have allergies and sensitivity to smell so that is something to consider.
James
Very friendly hosts in a location near the train station and many options for dining.
Rena
The personal touch. Iain was so helpful.
Harry
The guy that greeted me was very hospitable and nice to talk to. He made me feel very welcome and also allowed me to leave my belongings on the premise before checking in and after i checked out, so i wouldn't be carrying them with me everywhere. If traveling to Inverness in future, i would definitely be considering staying in this hotel again. Also, the entire hotel is really well decorated, and has a lot of interesting pictures of Scottish heritage and the different clans which I enjoyed looking at
Jean
Comfortable room, pleasant staff, excellent location. Parking is an issue. There is limited one-hour parking on the street for £2, and free overnight. There is a nice inexpensive parking garage about two or three blocks away.
Paul
Decent place but a little tired. The bed was small and uncomfortable, but the host was very friendly and the location very good.

This is a family run hotel that met my needs perfectly. It was a very easy walk from the Inverness train station with lots of shopping, restaurants, and sites within walking distance. Leaky Bookstore is very close too! The gentleman who runs the hotel is fantastic. He insisted on carrying my suitcase up the stairs. Service was excellent, and breakfast was lovely. If I visit Inverness again, I will definitely book this hotel again!
Debra
Inverness Charming B&B
Loved our stay at the MacDougall Clansman. We were only in Inverness for two nights and this was the perfect location. Walking distance from many shops, pubs, and restaurants. There isn't an elevator and I had large luggage. Iain was really sweet to carry it up the stairs for me. The breakfast each morning was the best we had in all our stay in Scotland. I would stay here again.
Amanda
This little place is an absolute gem. It is very central and easily walkable from the train station. There are about a million dining and shopping options in the surrounding blocks (make sure you make a dinner reservation Th-Su in the summer)!! Pretty standard amenities in an old building, but what sets them apart is the service. Made to order breakfast in the morning?? Yes please! They were very accommodating with early departures for day tours, having a grab-and-go breakfast selection. They were also very accommodating with allowing us to leave our bags for a while the day we checked out. It is clear that they very much care about their guests’ experiences and are so kind. Would absolutely return.
Mary
Very friendly and super helpful!! Great breakfast and a take away snack early in morning was great. Quiet and cozy. Thank you
Amanda
An absolute delight. Traditional and down to earth. I was made to feel welcome as soon as I arrived. Iain went above and beyond and was helpful all along.
There are no frills here. If you want a hotel that’s the same in every city then go there. Breakfast is simple but cooked to order and perfect. Rooms are basic but very clean. All I needed in a stay, clean, confortable abs friendly - I will recommend this hotel to others I know who will appreciate the very friendly and down to earth ambience.

Everything was so darn charming! From the proprietor(s), to the excellent breakfast, to the immaculate room, to Inverness itself. The best nights sleep I had in my 2.5 weeks in the UK! Check out nearby Leakey's Bookshop if so inclined.

WONDERFUL PLACE!
Lucy and Ian are an absolute delight. My train got stuck before Aberdeen due to a road accident, so I gave the hotel a call to let them know I’d be late for check-in hours and to ask what I should do. Lucy gave me easy walking directions from the train station in case I didn’t have them, and then Ian stayed up for me to get there after business hours at 10:45pm! They truly care about their patrons and they make you feel important to them. I’ve been staying all over the UK for the past 2.5 weeks and this place honestly deserves a better star rating. I would recommend this hotel to anyone including my closest family and friends, and that’s really saying something! A definite little gem with wonderful staff.

Staying at the Macdougall Clansman Hotel was probably the highlight of our Scotland trip that my fiancé and I took. We traveled to Glasgow, Edinburgh and finally Inverness where we stayed here. We had the best experience from check in and meeting Ian. He was so accommodating and kind, he truly made our experience exceptional. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious as well. Thank you for having us! I definitely recommend this place! We loved it! Definitely will be back!

Lovely hosts and great location!
Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out, the hosts made sure the guests are taken care of. We stayed here during our 3-Day tour around the Highlands. Even though we have to leave the hotel early each morning, they still prepared some breakfast items for us to go with! Thank you Lucy and Ian for providing such great services!

Lovely place!
This hotel was an easy walk from the train and bus stations (which are pretty much side-by-side). The front door was locked (COVID) but the desk guy was right there to check me in. He was always on hand and always nice. My room was on the streetfront, but Inverness is quiet and I enjoyed the view. This was a really nice room, with plentiful plugs, good hot water, comfortable beds and a nice breakfast, made to order each day and served in a pleasant dining room. Also, they were willing to give me the same breakfast, but early, on the day I had an early tour start.

Brilliant place, great host, great location.
Amazing host, very clean and tidy and great breakfast. Really appreciated the great advice on where to find a rental car and places to go.

Hospitality at its best
I sensed the hotel would be special as soon as I received an email from the proprietor, offering advance information about the hotel and its location. This first impression was surpassed on arrival with a warm welcome from the proprietor. As tourists, the hotel was perfect but some guests may find the absence of a restaurant, serving lunch and dinner, or a bar, to be limiting. For the regular tourist or guest, the full Scottish breakfast served between 0800 and 0915 will be appreciated. The hotel’s location about ten minutes walk from the train and bus stations will be a bonus as were the many restaurants, even close to the hotel. The next time I visit Inverness, The MacDougall Clansman Hotel will be my hotel of choice.

An ideal one night stop over on the way back to the North East of England from the Orkneys

So Friendly & Helpful
Lovely place to stay in the heart of the city centre. Was cycling the Etap and had made a few additional requests, all of which were accommodated so wonderfully well. Thank you so much.
