Friends and I spent our first evening in Inverness at the Chieftan. The food was fabulous and the service was great. To make the evening even better, the locals were very friendly and we had a great time.

Looks a bit better on the outside now that refurb is complete and inside is lovely. This should be one of my locals and hoped to use it a bit more .....I attended a party last night and the service was terrible. So short staffed and had to wait about 10 mins to get served. I ended up trying to... More

A lovely hotel with the friendliest staff.Having visited last year prior to the refurb,it really has transformed the hotel.Very modern rooms and public areas and the comfiest lounge bar. It has a lovely family run feel to it,and nicely cooked generous portioned food.The Chieftain Chilli is highly recommended..
