This is an outstanding location! So close to city centre and right on the very walkable river bank. Lovely room and filling breakfast served by very kind proprietor.

Quaint and Friendly
Posted 24 May 2024 on HotelsThe Talisker was so quaint and old fashioned. The service was impeccable and the breakfast was very filling. Walking distance to downtown.

Lovely building in a great location overlooking the river. Clean and comfortable but the room was a little cramped with its sloping roof.

Lovely property. I found the room chilly and a little difficult to get it warm, the host very kindly supplied a space heater

Great location but not a great stay
Posted 17 Oct 2023 on HotelsLocation and hosts were excellent but ... everything else was pretty disappointing and we can't understand how previous reviews have scored Talisker so highly.
Great location right on the river and an easy stroll to local sights, bars, entertainment, shops, etc. The proprietors were very friendly and accommodating.
Walking into our bedroom was like revisiting your granny's unused back bedroom in the 1970's. The room was small, the bathroom was tiny, and the furnishings and decor were a slightly bizarre mix of dated and completely unrelated oddments. However, we hadn't come to Inverness for its interior design, so that wasn't an immediate cause for concern but it all fed in to to a slight question mark about the general level of care and cleanliness.
This came to a head at breakfast the next morning when we could see the cloth on the buffet table had stains and mildew from spillage under the fruit juice jugs which must have been there for some time to have reached that state. Then we discovered there was mould on our toast, but when we discreetly brought this to the attention of the host, this was dismissed as not mould, but seeds / grains in the bread! It tasted like mould and looked like mould - it was definitely mould! We were made to feel that we were making it up, but we were trying not to make a fuss and to ensure that they were aware of the problem and didn't serve it to others.
Unfortunately, the positive aspects of Talisker were eclipsed by the negatives.

The service was excellent and had great choices at the continental breakfast. Super fast and easy check-in and the owner was easy to reach and to respond.
The room was clean and had all the amenities.
The property is well situated with ease of walking everywhere downtown Inverness for local attractions and shopping. We would definitely go back.
