Guest ratings and detailed reviews

Feedback about Hootananny from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hootananny is appreciated for its central location, just a short walk from Inverness Station, bus stops and the train station, making it easy to explore the city, including the castle and many restaurants. Guests often highlight the spacious and well-appointed rooms, which feature comfortable beds and modern bathrooms, Nespresso machines, and sometimes fans. The on-site pub is a definite draw, with its live music, broad menu, and good selection of drinks; while the soundproofing is generally effective, a few guests have mentioned the music can be heard in the rooms. All this contributes to it being considered very good value.

charming stay above a lively pub

excellent location convenient access enthusiastic performers
the location was excellent. I could easily walk to the riverside. i also had convenient access to nearby restaurants. the bar offered great music and drinks. The performers seemed enthusiastic with traditional scottish instruments.
the music from the pub downstairs was audible in my room until late. contacting staff about the noise was not straightforward, and i missed having someone readily available to address this.
