Inverness Centre (Millburn Rd)

Well kept and clean hotel. Worth the price. There is a retail park with restaurants and cinema near here. Recommended.

Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5/5) Stayed: Recent reviews from June 2025 Location: Millburn Road, Inverness, Highland, Scotland (just east of the city centre in the old Millburn distillery grounds) 🏙️ Location & Parking – 5/5 Located within a ~10–15‑minute walk to Inverness city centre, train station, and shops. Though set beside a main road and former distillery buildings, road noise is minimal with glazing closed. Excellent free on-site parking makes it convenient for those driving in. 🛏️ Rooms & Comfort – 4/5 The hotel offers Standard and Premier Plus rooms. Premier Plus features extra seating, a desk, USB ports, a coffee machine, mini‑fridge, and better Wi‑Fi. Many guests appreciated the walk‑in showers in newer rooms. Premier Inn Rooms are generally clean and spacious, with blackout curtains aiding good sleep. Some flaws: heating may fail in cool weather, and shower pressure or hot water reliability was occasionally reported. Noise from other rooms or mechanical sounds above some guests bothered light sleepers. 🍳 Breakfast & Dining – 4/5 The hotel has an on-site restaurant serving evening meals and an unlimited buffet breakfast (~£10 per adult), including hot options, vegan/vegetarian choices, pastries, fruit, and cereals. Guests highlight especially good black pudding and value for money. 👩‍💼 Staff & Service – 4.5/5 Staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and professional. Several guests singled out individuals like Barry, Chris, and Emma for going above and beyond assistance. One reviewer mentioned prompt help following an unfortunate fall, including room upgrades and breakfast in bed. Some negatives involved operational hiccups: no in‑room phone meant guests had to physically walk across the carpark to reach reception for issues like cold showers. 🧼 Cleanliness & Facilities – 4/5 Cleanliness consistently receives praise—rooms, bedding, and public areas are well maintained. The redeveloped distillery setting is stylish inside, combining period charm with modern design. ✅ Summary of Strengths & Suggestions Highlights: Ideal for driving guests with ample free parking and easy access to Inverness city centre Comfortable beds, good blackout curtains, and modern Premier Plus rooms with enhanced amenities Friendly, empathetic, and efficient staff—often praised by name Solid breakfast and restaurant food, with standout items like black pudding Reliable cleanliness and strong value for short- to mid‑stay stays Opportunities for Improvement: Improve heating and better manage room temperatures in colder weather Upgrade bathroom fittings for more consistent shower pressure and hot water Reintroduce in‑room phone or alternative to avoid guests trekking across the car park for assistance Ensure timely breakfast restocking and hot food availability throughout service times 📌 Final Verdict Premier Inn Inverness Centre (Millburn Road) is a strong choice for budget-savvy travellers seeking consistent comfort, great parking, and str

Great over all experience, Cleanliness was good but the bathroom could have used some work. Staff were really friendly and the bed was really comfy. The TV worked a little slow and a Fridge would have been a great addition to the room.

Dont be put off by the dour exterior of this ex distillery turned hotel. Inside it is well appointed and modern. The staff were very helpful and attentive and the rooms clean and spacious. During the tourist season, prices throughout Inverness go up and for over £200 a night I would have expected air con in the room. There is a thermostat but it only heats not cools, so during what was a cool week weather wise, my room never got below 23 degrees celsius despite opening the window, which only offered a small gap. This made the room warm to sleep in and let to a disturbed sleep despite Premier Inn’s celebrated “bed”. On the positive front the food exceeded my expectations at what is normally a budget hotel. I had soup and a Korean Burger, which was excellent and breakfast was a good spread with tasty sausages and some of the best Black Pudding I have tried. Normally black pudding is dry and tough but this was tasty and soft in the middle. The bathroom was clean but I could not get the shower pressure nor heat that I like. On one morning there was clearly a lot of demand as pressure was low and it was not particularly hot

Very comfortable hotel - kind and helpful staff. This is a great place to stay with excellent parking. Highly recommended.

Room dirty, each noise from other rooms/corridor as in the room itself, aged and non well maintained. Breakfast so poor. Reception is a kiosk (difficult also to understand it is the reception). One star just for the location. See photos taken just arrived, more than words
