The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile bheist Brewery & Distillery

We loved our stay at Glen Mhor. Our family of 6 stayed in Apartment 5, which is beautifully renovated. The beds were comfortable and we did not notice any street noise or noise from the distillery. We loved going to M&S to grab easy meals to prepare in the smartly equipped kitchen. Coffee, tea and milk were stocked in the kitchen. The breakfast buffet at the Waterside Restaurant was included in our stay, and was delicious and plentiful. The location along the waterfront is pretty and convenient to all the action in Inverness.

3/5 mainly because of the restaurant and value. The evening meal was underwhelming and overpriced, our poor waitress seemed overworked and you could tell service would have been better with more available staff. Food came out late and wrong. Breakfast was terrible, limited options, and the little I ate wasn't great. I recommend eating somewhere else. The room was massive and had a great view of the river and city. Big comfortable bed and a separate shower and bath. However it did seem quite overpriced. Very basic room amenities, no water, tissues, fridge, shower cap etc in a "luxury" room. Check in was at 4pm and we were slightly early so had to pile our bags up in the bar with no offer to store them. In a city you expect to pay more for a hotel but overall I think it could have been better. Felt like it was set up for large coach trip groups.

The location is excellent – right in the city center. But that’s pretty much the only positive thing. The hotel claims to be 4 stars, but it honestly feels more like 2 – and even that might be generous. There were no bathrobes, no slippers, no minibar. The room looked nothing like the photos online. I expected a cozy brick townhouse but was placed in a strange side building with completely different and outdated decor. Breakfast wasn’t included and wasn’t worth paying for – no fresh vegetables, no fruit selection, no pastries. There was barely anything to eat. I paid extra for a river view, but the dirty windows ruined it. If guests are charged extra for the view, the windows should definitely be cleaned much more often. The room itself wasn’t clean either, despite the late check-in at 4 pm and early check-out at 11 am – it’s unclear what’s being done in that time. The wardrobe was tiny with only a few hangers, and the hairdryer was located in the bedroom, which makes no sense after a shower. Wouldn’t stay here again.
