It was wonderful: from the music, veggie curry and G&T to the great mattresses and sheets. The staff was so generous. I couldn’t make a reservation for dinner because I was just one but he fit me in! Way to win hearts.
This was by far the most special place we stayed in Scotland! Our room was decorated beautifully and had so many extra perks, including the best in room coffee!
Our room was located right above the stage and we never heard the music at all.
The food and entertainment was top notch!
Thanks to Nick , Doreen and Sweet Baily!
The room was adorable. The only thing I found inconvenient was I had to sit outside until check in time as there is no desk. Then you ring in and get your keys. Travelling alone it’s nice if you can leave your bag if you’re early. I was treated well.
The room itself was clean and comfortable. The staff were welcoming and helpful.
The noise travelling from the bar below was incredibly loud and didn’t stop till midnight. I wasn’t able to sleep through it and I had a long journey to take the next day. The WiFi wasn’t working or the coffee machine in the room.
We did not even stay here. We moved to another hotel in Inverness for 2 nights. Our room was 5 flights up. , without any assistance. We are two women who struggled carrying our luggage up those flights of stairs. Also, the entry instructions to door codes etc were confusing on day of arrival
The rooms are separated from the bar/food area so the music is not an issue at all when in the hotel room. Very friendly staff and great food and drinks with live music!
Room was very nice but not big. Very clean and beds were comfortable.
We got there after check in time but had no problems. We were on the 4th floor so we couldn’t hear the music down in the bar.
We are at the bar and food was great!
Make sure you make reservations for the bar if dining or you won’t get in.
The only thing we didn’t like was that there is NO LIFT. You have to carry. Your luggage up steps. Would not recommend if you’re not able to do this.

Great location in centre of Inverness. Rooms are well designed, clean and well thought. Much better than standard hotel. Simple set up and effortless.
Had a great stay in very comfortable room. Bed was so comfy didn’t want to get up! Bathroom spotless with great shower. Great coffee maker with loads of different types of coffee, and real milk in wee bottles. Will be back with my wife next time.
Looking for the ultimate experience this is it on top of a pub a lot of stairs so make sure you leave your luggage in the car and pack a smaller bag —— extremely friendly the young lady who checked us in so sweet and the owner very very helpful andThis is a must must if you’re going to Inverness on the authentic Scottish experience
We loved staying at the Hootenanny. The room was lovely and the bar was great with excellent music and food. The bed was super comfy and the room was cozy. Bar staff were great and super friendly. Would have been five stars but communication from hotel staff was minimal even while we tried to reach via both the Expedia app and via text. Also no shampoo or conditioner was provided and for the price and convenience for travelers, it is somewhat the minimum.
Room was clean but the bed was uncomfortable. Also this is upstairs from a bar that offers live music every night until about midnight. The bass would shake the room.
