Fantastic place. Everyone was very friendly, nice, and helpful! The restaurant was also great!

We didn’t eat dinner there, and there was live music for awhile at night, but it ended around 10pm, so it was quiet when we wanted to sleep. We did eat at the restaurant for breakfast, and it was very tasty. We checked in around 8pm, and the owner/manager walked us to our room. He was very friendly. It was a convenient place to walk to various places, like Leakey’s Bookshop (right behind the hotel) and Greigg’s Bridge to get a good view of Inverness. Parking is not on-site, but it was a quick walk from the Old Town Rose Street car park. We only stayed one night, but I would recommend! It was clean and comfortable!

Great family room close to train station and short walk to the river and restaurants.

It was great to have the restaurant right below us.  We were able to walk everywhere without getting a car.  Lots of freebie treats in the room were a nice touch.  We would definitely stay there again!

The vibrant atmosphere of the property overall. Mattress was great for a good night's sleep! Ps. A  big shout-out to Caitlyn for her professionalism!

Unique boutique style accommodations with great view of city and wonderful restaurant downstairs!

Such a cute and nice private hotel. The staff is all very sweet and kind. The room was very clean and had yummy snacks stocked for us as well.

This was the most amazing stay we had during our 2week trip. Rooms were comfortable clean and spacious. Owner and all staff were amazing and friendly !

We loved our stay at Black Friars! The room was spacious and very comfortable. We were able to store our luggage the day of arrival and departure which was super helpful to allow us to explore Inverness.  We enjoyed conversing with the proprietor and learning about Scotch. We also enjoyed a couple of meals at the tavern.

The rooms were nice and well kept and the manager let us stay an extra hour after checkout to accommodate our plans. The check-in was a bit fraught.  We were told check-in was at 2pm so we had lunch in the restaurant (issues with that also re every 5 minutes a different excuse why we didn't have our food).  At 2pm the strange excuses started as to why we couldn't yet check-in.  In the end supposedly there was some kind of walk out by the cleaning staff and the manager had to clean all the rooms.  A few hours later we finally were able to get our room.  Some amenities were missing or low (tp) but that was rectified the next day. We were also told breakfast was at 7am then we came down and the woman told us 7:30a so couldn't eat.  The next days breakfast the woman told us it wasn't included but my reservation said it was (it was).  After the first days issues the only other issue was that the walls are thin and the floors very creaky; you can hear everyone walking in the rooms above and next to you.  The food options on the block were good (the Moroccan place across the street is EXCELLENT!).  Overall a positive experience but their communication needs work.

We had a nice cozy room above the Pub.  The owner was very kind.  The location was convenient to both the bus station and the train station.  Our booking on Expedia was supposed to have included continental breakfast.  The continental breakfast options were almost non-existent (think dry cereal and toast).  The accommodations combined with the limited breakfast made it not worth the price we paid.

Really loved this stay! It was only one night so we didn’t get a full on stay experience. The owner greeted us and was so helpful getting our keys and showing us your room. Only thing was the bathroom had a bit of a funky smell but with us being there one night it was unbearable if you kept the door closed. Very comfy bed and super close for walking to everything!

Lovely stay in Inverness

This property has excellent reviews but I just couldn't give it 5 stars. The radiator in our room didn't work so it was cold when we got there. The cleaning staff were cleaning other rooms and had turned off all the heating on the floors while they worked. After several trips to the bar/reception to try to get the heating in our room going it wasn't resolved so we used a little fan heater. The paintwork is a bit tired and the grout i the shower could use a deep clean. The staff were friendly and tried to help where they could.

Coziest little bed and breakfast, the owners were so kind and accommodating. The rooms were like a little dream so comfy and warm . Definitely my fav place I’ve ever stayed in Scotland. Their pub food is the best ever Please try their broccoli soup and their sticky toffee pudding. It was the warmest coziest stay. Definitely recommend!

Had such a lovely stay and will make this my go to spot in Inverness! I arrived quite late due to train delays and they couldn’t have been less bothered. Fixed me up something to eat in the bar and restaurant downstairs (which is excellent) straight away. My room was so comfortable and fully of lovely treats. The large bath was divine and the shower had excellent water pressure (a rarity when traveling!). The location is a 4 minute walk from the train station and proximal to great places to eat, enjoy live music, see historic sites, and take the train or bus to wherever you want to go beyond walking distance.

Good stars for the Black Friar

Jessica was the server that checked us in when we arrived and our server for the Sunday roast. She is just the best! On a busy night she was stuck with very low staff and was killing it! Very sweet and gave us great tips on how to get the right buses to areas outside of Inverness. The room was beautiful and such a great experience. I would stay there every time I visit Inverness and recommend it to everyone. Plus, the food is fantastic! I want the recipe to the sticky toffee pudding!

Rooms were located above the Black Friars pub. It was a unique experience. The pub had great live music and food.The room was great, very roomy the bed was very comfortable.Th area was surrounded by restaurants and shopping. Parks and the river were very close by.There was a public parking lot a couple blocks away.
