Rocpool Reserve is a beautiful boutique hotel in a great location. We stayed in one of the suites with a private hot tub and sauna, and the room itself was spacious with a very nice bathroom. We were especially looking forward to enjoying the hot tub and sauna.

The service was outstanding from start to finish. The front desk staff was warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. The breakfast experience was the best of the four hotels we stayed at during our two-week vacation in Scotland. The chef happily prepared anything we wanted, and the quality was excellent. We were traveling with a picky 16-year-old, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate her preferences, making breakfast one of the highlights of our stay.

The location is another major plus. It’s an easy walk to Inverness Castle and the city center, there are plenty of food delivery options nearby, and the parking was convenient with easy access in and out.

The biggest drawback was that the hotel does not have air conditioning. We visited during an exceptional heat wave, and the small fan provided was not enough to cool the room. It made sleeping nearly impossible, and unfortunately the suite was so warm that we couldn’t enjoy the private hot tub or sauna—the very amenities we had booked the room for. I have no doubt this suite would be incredible during the fall or winter when the temperatures are cooler.

Overall, Rocpool Reserve offers exceptional service, an outstanding breakfast, beautiful suites.

The Rocpool is a great place to stay in Inverness. It’s walkable into town, with a little uphill climb. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the room itself was very comfortable. The A/C was a huge plus since it was unusually warm during our stay. We had to leave before breakfast one morning for a day trip, and the hotel thoughtfully packed pastries, fruit, and sandwiches for us to take along, which we really appreciated. The hotel was also impressively quiet; it honestly felt like we had the entire property to ourselves.

My only critique is the complete lack of counter space in the bathroom. I mean literally none. We had to keep all of our toiletries balanced on the edge of the tub. The trough sink looks nice aesthetically, but not at the expense of having any usable space.

Good Points: Welcomed on arrival, shown to room. Bed comfy and room quiet. Meal and drink in bar was good. Great internet. General atmosphere and great designs, especially the sofa! Staff were really accommodating.
Bad Points: The room was clean, however, the bin had not been emptied and was full of the last guests rubbish. The light in the bathroom flashed a lot and the night lights are very bright. No instructions for the Jacuzzi. TV too low to be seen if laying in bed. They forgot us at breakfast. Placed our order and had continental but our cooked order did not arrive. No one checked on us until the end of service. They then hastily made us breakfast as restaurant was closed. It did taste nice!

Fantastic Hotel with lots of extras

What a gem, the Rocpool deserves 6 stars if I could , the included afternoon tea and tasting spoons are superb quality so much you don’t need to worry about eating out , the breakfast is incredible- try the Arnold Bennett omelette - amazing.
The room was huge, as was the bathroom, super clean and very comfortable.
What elevated this to one of our best stays ever was Vicky who made an excellent stay amazing, so helpful and attentive.
This is a must stay when visiting Inverness and would go back in a heartbeat.

An excellent, 5 star hotel on high ground looking down on Inverness, a shortvwalk to the centre.

Though no lunch or dinner is now served, their inclusive afternoon tea followed by \"Spoons\", 3 tasting spoons including drinks of your choice, is super. With those 2, afternoon and early evening offerrings, you really dont need anything else to eat. The breakfast menu is extensive and food exccellent.

This is our chouce for a stay in the capital of the Highlands.

Small but packs a punch

Stayed here overnight as part of a longer trip. All I can say is I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. From the minute you walk through the front door until you leave you feel comfortable and pampered. They do not offer dinner as an option but they provide lots of extras eg. Afternoon tea , tasting spoons, goodies in the mini fridge . More importantly this is all provided with good grace and a smile. Room and bed was extremely comfortable with top end toiletries. Also forgot to mention you are greeted with a glass of fizz( most welcome).

There was a hot tub too!

The staff were fantastic, helpful, and friendly. The room included breakfast (which we didn’t make it to 😂), afternoon tea (was out for that as well), and a cocktail & canapé hour in the bar (which we did make). The cocktail and canapé hour was great-the nibbles were tasty and there was a good selection of drinks to choose from. We were even offered a second drink! The best bit was our room had a balcony with a hot tub-which I had no idea about when I made the booking. We had a fab couple of nights there and highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely boutique hotel just a 10 minute walk from the city center. Rooms are big and the bathroom was large and gorgeous. Be sure to enjoy the large soaking tub! Service was wonderful. As a boutique hotel - you can tell the staff are “jack of all trades” and will do anything to make your stay pleasant.

We ate dinner at the R bar one night and the food was delicious.

The only issues we had was our room was incredibly warm our last night and when we plugged in our fan it was broken. Also-the fridge in our mini bar was not working so all the beverages were warm. We did not report this to management- If we would when I know they would have fixed it.

If you are driving in- there is a small car park adjacent to the hotel and is incredibly easy to get in and out of.

Overall would stay here again!

We booked to stay at this hotel as it was part of the Luxury Scotland Hotel Group, however the Rockpool Reserve Hotel is certainly not a 5 star luxury hotel. Upon checking in we were taken down 2 flights of stairs and let into a room next to the kitchen.

The hotel was good. The employees were great. From check-in to breakfast they were all kind and always looking to extend themselves to their best abilities. The down side was, the air conditioning unit was broken and the bathroom fan didn't clear the air at all, so after a shower the whole room was humid and damp. We were told to open the window however the neighborhood smelt of burning rubber and it was an irritant in the throat. They advertise as a 5 star hotel but were unable to get a service engineer to address the issue for our entire Friday-Sunday stay.

ROCPool - ok experience

Yes, it’s a boutique hotel (only 11 rooms) with upscale touches, but not our favorite on our recent trip to Scotland. Staff is friendly, rooms are quirky and definitely the photos and room categories don’t fully match. We had a room category called the decadent room and the photos were only for 1 of the decadent rooms, the others were different - our was not the room we thought it would be so was a bit disappointing. Hotel is close to the road, but road noise was ok. Bar open late, drinks reasonable priced. Be warned, if you and your partner are not used to seeing each other on the toilet, the bathroom doors are only partially frosted - your call.

The room we stayed in No 7 in what appeared to be the basement had a direction sign over the door that was on all night and lit up the room which meant I had very little sleep so I can't give 5*

Inverness stay

Inverness isn’t a cheap place to stay but I feel this venue, while delivering a great service, is overpriced. For the money you expect everything to be perfect which is why I feel the need to be critical. The listing states robes are available - they’re not - and small things like charging for the small packets of biscuits in the room (I’ve never seen that in any hotel I’ve stayed in). Also toiletries weren’t replaced. That’s not to say there aren’t great things about it: the staff are very attentive and the breakfast is tasty.

The staff was very rude including the manager. We needed non feather pillows which they didnt have other than very old foam pillow that were hard and falling apart. Our toilet did not work and we dealt with overflow issues for two days before they finally responded. Far from a five star property.

Aside from all that, what made the stay particularly special was the people working there. Their service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely stay and very comfortable
I hope as constructive criticism and only as a housekeeper myself there was dust on pictures and door frames, also the slots in towel rails were dirty.
Very picky but as a 5 star hotel not something you would expect.
I'm sure not many would notice but just advice
Overall a wonderful stay
