Overall Ratings & Reviews Jacobite house

I was a bit nervous in the days leading up to this stay knowing that it is a hotel without a traditional check in desk (not because I am against this, just if there are issues it could be difficult), and others have had difficulty locating the building. I couldn't be more wrong. The instructions were clear and easy. The building now has a sign. Check in was a breeze. My room was on the top floor which made it a bit difficult carrying my luggage after a long train ride, but the steps were to be expected and were described. The room was absolutely lovely and comfortable. I really couldn't have been more pleased with this stay.

Excellent set-up for budget-conscious traveler. Location is in the heart of the city, convenient to shopping and transportation. Easy to explore city from there. Only suggestion is to make arrival instructions a little clearer, since there is no registration desk. Instructions say, "the lockboxes that have your room Key is to your right on the fire exit door." The lock boxes are actually on an inside wall, behind the fire door. The door appears locked and has a sign that says keep closed. It took me several frustrating minutes to figure out that I had to open the door to get to the lock boxes.

Bit pf a hike lugging suitcases to the 3rd floor but great communal kitchen facilities and common room

Right in the heart of the entertainment area. Little hard to find as small sign at the front door.

Great little place near locations to shop for groceries, drink and eat. Room was cute and comfortable. Water pressure decent. Have own bathroom. Shares kitchen area/common room. Parking isn't that nearby, but you can unload your luggage.

We did not receive a code for check in. A taxi company next door was open, thankfully, and called our host - US phone wouldn’t work. Room we reserved had not been cleaned, but I was able to call host on What’s ap (not told that communication thru the app would be necessary) and she had another room available. She did helpfully allow us to leave luggage while we went on an overnight tour. Taxi company said this kind of thing happens all the time and they are constantly having to help her customers while trying to run their own business. It was late when we arrived from London and it would have been a mess if we had had to find another room last minute.

Owners are responsive to extra needs

The Jacobite provided a very central location. I had read recent reviews on the property which made me fear the worst but these were unfounded. Firstly, the location is very central which, in my opinion, is what most people want from a holiday accommodation. The downside of this is noise from the street outside at night time. While this can get noisy if your apartment faces onto the street, how this impacts on you depends very much on when you want to go to sleep. If you go to your bed at 10.30pm then prepare for at least 90 minutes of street noise. If you don't go to your bed until midnight, then you won't be too bothered by this noise. Hotels in Inverness are expensive! In comparison, the Jacobite was very reasonable for a 2 night stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. My only comment would be to be careful when using the small sink in the shower room. There is a glass ledge above this sink which you have to watch out for when bending down to brush your teeth and wash your face as it is easy to bump into it. The staircase is normal size/width it is not overly narrow. We were provided with an email 24 hours before we were due to arrive. This email provided clear instructions regarding access codes to main door and to the room. All in all, we were more than happy with our choice for our two night break and would happily recommend it.

There was garbage in the room when we checked in The bed was one and of the worst I have ever attempted to sleep in The street noise came right up into the room until the bars closed The common area stunk due to the piles being of laundry There was no shampoo etc in the room Learned my expensive lesson

The stairwell is tatty and smelt horrendous. Felt like it was a challenge to enter our room with all the key pads. The cost was far too much in comparison to other loxal hotels. The bedroom was tatty and needs painting. The window did not close once opened. The TV required personal log in. Exceedingly basic - no luxury at all.

The property could use better, larger signage. It was hard to find.

Convenient.

I was not able to get into the unit upon my arrival. Owner said instructions would be sent 24 hours before my arrival but I did not receive them until I was standing around in front of the unit an hour later. Once in, there were two flights of very narrow steps which I had to negotiate with my luggage. The room is very small and no soap for bathing. I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone. The only saving grace is that it is very clean.

We loved it at Jacobite House. 1st floor room 1 with en suite private bathroom. There is a shared living area and kitchenette but we didn’t use it. So many restaurants and bars within a stone throw, no need to stay in our room. Our suite was newly renovated with modern touches. Clean linens and towels were provided. Self check in via message was clear and precise. Yes we would stay again.

Very difficult to find. No designated parking. Room was clean and comfortable but extremely small.

Great location to explore downtown Inverness. Property worked well for a one night stay. Room was clean and tidy. No staff on premises, you are provided email instructions on how to get access to the property.

Great location within the city to explore and walk around. The room was a bit small and the bed was very uncomfortable. There wasn’t any air conditioning and the window didn’t open enough to allow much air flow, so it was pretty warm. The place was very clean and cleaning team very kind!

This was a great place to stay and if given the opportunity, I would gladly stay here again.

Amazing stay owners are extremely helpful and available!!! Great location, clean !!!
