The Black Friars has been our best hotel experience so far in our 2 week vacation in Scotland. Our room was very clean, comfortable, and had a lovely rainshower bathroom feature. One can hear some noise from the hallway & a room above. Not a deal breaker. There is no elevator.
The onsite restaurant has a nice selection of entrees, very good tasting food and is reasonably priced.My traveling companion has high praise for the braised short ribs and their truffle fries with Parmesan cheese!
Next, Black Friars is located in area close to the train and bus stations, Old Leakey's Bookstore, and a variety of shops. It is within easy walking distance of Inverness Castle and several interesting churches.
I would certainly stay here again and recommend it's facilities to others.
