Excellent hotel with friendly staff! The building is old so you will hear when people walk in their rooms and innthe corridors.

This is certainly a hidden gem located in Inverness. Upon arrival it was noticeable how clean the property looked. We were welcomed by a lovely young girl who checked us in and explained everything about our stay. The hallway up to our room was beautifully decorated and very modern looking. Our room was lovely, very spacious and it was spotless. The added bonus was the basket of goodies left in the room for us, my husband was very grateful indeed. We had continental breakfast as part of our stay and there was plenty to choose from. All in we enjoyed our overnight stay and we would definitely recommend the hotel to others 😀

Lovely spot above a beautiful historic pub. Was plenty quiet enough, and the family room provided plenty of space and privacy for us. Staff was lovely and helpful. Do note that there is not a lift/elevator and that all rooms are up at least one flight of stairs in case you have mobility issues. Would definitely stay here again!

Our overall stay was great! The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The floor was pretty creaky, but we didn't mind it really. All staff were very attentive and polite. I would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed the Black Friar. Hotel was conveniently located and the staff was very helpful. Room was clean and sized nicely. We could walk to many restaurants and sights in the area. Loved our stay.

They let us check-in early, offering us complimentary snacks and breakfast during our stay. The room was beautiful and cozy and every clean—would 100% recommend staying above this pub.

Room very nicely appointed. Needed a few repairs shower drain cover and toilet minor leak. Breakfast good variety but ran out of items quickly

4.0 / 10.0

Waste of money. We paid like $500/night to stay here. Parking was a nightmare, breakfast was a joke, had to climb over cleaners stuff to get our bags downstairs. Food was subpar in general. Staff seemed clueless. Worth no more than $150/night.

After going out for dinner and drinks, we came back to find that our front door key didn’t work and which resulted in us being locked out of the hotel. We were unable to reach anyone there, and had to check into another hotel. We returned the next morning to share our story - the staff tried our keys and confirmed they didn’t work and couldn’t explain why.

Room had a slanted floor so had to sleep at the opposite end of the bed. Pretty loud street noise. Restaurant below is nice and good proximity to bars and restaurants.

5.0 / 10.0

Black Friars was an absolutely lovely place to stay, conveniently located away from the busiest streets, but still within walking distance. It was quiet; the staff was great; room was clean. We recommend! Things that may matter to you: there is no elevator, or air conditioning. Recommend the bar scene, and if you're there on a night "Old Fools" plays, don't miss them!

Did not like this property, spent WAY too much for what we got. Would not recommend. Beds are horrible, bathroom felt and was dirty.

8.0 / 10.0

My expectations were too high for this room. It was small but it was clean. The location was good, but folks should know that you have to carry luggage up the stairs. Was very disappointed with the temperature of the water in the shower, just barely warm.

5.0 / 10.0

Very well kept room and bathroom. We stayed for two nights and it was a very nice room with a great restaurant down below which we were very bummed we couldn’t go more than once.

8.0 / 10.0

Wonderful hotel. Great stay. Only issue was the lack of an elevator. I knew it going in, but it was harder than I thought.

5.0 / 10.0

Fantastic experience. The rooms were right in the thick of downtown. Being above a well stocked pub also fulfilled my vacation wish list. You won’t be disappointed.

4.0 / 10.0

Great room, but the hot water situation was a problem…as in, there was no hot water first morning we were there. Also, lacking a secure location for luggage storage when we got there early. That said, room was great and the pub was quite good too.

10.0 / 10.0

I loved staying here, the location is great. It is about a five minute walk from the train station, and within walkable distance to the center shops, dinning, and great areas to site see. The room was beautiful and very clean, the bed was incredibly comfortable, the bathroom was very spacious and very nice! There was also a very stocked up welcome basket in the room. The staff was friendly and very helpful, and check in and out was quick and easy. Didn't try the food downstairs, but the drinks were delicious and the bar was very nice. I would definitely stay here again!!

10.0 / 10.0

Great place to stay. An authentic Public house. Short walk to the train station and bus station. Walkable to restaurants shops etc. downside of the location is it’s a bit noisy at night.

We paid more than $550 per night. The room was ok, but the breakfast was awful.

Traveling with kids can be complicated, but this stay was absolutely excellent. The rooms were both spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and check in/out was a breeze. There’s no lift, so be prepared to carry luggage up the stairs.

This is the quaintest little hotel in the heart of Inverness. We were in Scotland for 11 days, and our 3 day stay at Blackfriar was the absolute best. 10/10 recommend.

8.0 / 10.0

The rooms were nice and well kept and the manager let us stay an extra hour after checkout to accommodate our plans. The check-in was a bit fraught. We were told check-in was at 2pm so we had lunch in the restaurant (issues with that also re every 5 minutes a different excuse why we didn't have our food). At 2pm the strange excuses started as to why we couldn't yet check-in. In the end supposedly there was some kind of walk out by the cleaning staff and the manager had to clean all the rooms. A few hours later we finally were able to get our room. Some amenities were missing or low (tp) but that was rectified the next day. We were also told breakfast was at 7am then we came down and the woman told us 7:30a so couldn't eat. The next days breakfast the woman told us it wasn't included but my reservation said it was (it was). After the first days issues the only other issue was that the walls are thin and the floors very creaky; you can hear everyone walking in the rooms above and next to you. The food options on the block were good (the Moroccan place across the street is EXCELLENT!). Overall a positive experience but their communication needs work.

8.0 / 10.0

We had a nice cozy room above the Pub. The owner was very kind. The location was convenient to both the bus station and the train station. Our booking on Expedia was supposed to have included continental breakfast. The continental breakfast options were almost non-existent (think dry cereal and toast). The accommodations combined with the limited breakfast made it not worth the price we paid.

6.0 / 10.0

PROS: Walkable to train, busses, taxis, pubs, restaurants, markets, bridges across the River Ness and shopping! Location was excellent. Unless you wanted to travel outside of Inverness for a sightseeing tour or drive, no transportation is needed in this area. The bathroom was also big with a great shower. CONS: I think the food at the Blackfriars restaurant right below our rooms was probably decent.. but on our 2nd visit to the restaurant we were taken to a table then promptly ignored for more than 20 min.. we sat and watched multiple servers walk past us many times waiting on other tables but we were completely overlooked. We’d seen this happen to another couple the night before, but just thought they may have been impatient, as they walked out after about 15 min of being ignored; however, once we experienced it firsthand, we realized that sadly, this might be a regular occurrence. To add insult to injury, when we finally had enough waiting, we got up to leave and were asked “how we liked everything?” We explained we never got service and that we were also guests in the hotel. They let us walk out without any explanation or apology. And we never went back there to eat again for the entire week. And they never reached out at any time during our week long stay to try and make it right. Our room was also extremely small and the floors were VERY slanted and creaked REALLY bad with every step taken, which you could hear at all hours from the rooms above as well.

6.0 / 10.0

The reception was quick and efficient but several other areas were in need of improvement. The rooms were tiny and I had to duck my head to get into the bed. No air conditioning which wasn’t a surprise in Scotland but it was very noisy when the windows were cracked to obtain cooler air. Drunks screaming at 3 AM and loud cars roaring down the street. Great TV with the easy ability to access prime, Netflix, etc (using your own login, of course) . The continental breakfast was not very good, definitely would not pay for it.

8.0 / 10.0

Lovely location. The room was very charming and clean. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Only downside was the food in the dining room was not very good (undercooked/bland).
