The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Inverness

Smart, Simple Comfort Just Outside Inverness

Modern, budget-friendly and just a 10-minute drive from Inverness city center, the Holiday Inn Express Inverness offers a relaxed stay with easy access to the city’s top music venues. With free parking, fast Wi-Fi, and a complimentary breakfast, this hotel is perfect for travelers looking to balance comfort and convenience during their live music getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate that you're just a short drive from Inverness city center venues—making it easy to catch shows and get back for a good night's sleep. The hotel is located in a quiet area, so you can expect a peaceful post-concert wind-down. Free parking and proximity to the airport (just 15 minutes away) also make it a breeze for out-of-town fans. With check-in from 15:00 and checkout at 11:00, there's time to relax before and after your gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a base with easy parking and shared rooms
  • Solo travelers attending a dream concert or festival
  • Couples enjoying a music-filled weekend in the Highlands
  • Fans needing a quiet space to recharge after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on quality

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s inclusive buffet breakfast (with bacon baps and scrambled eggs) is a hit with late-night concert-goers who need morning fuel. While there’s no full restaurant, a bar on-site offers drinks and light snacks, and a vending machine is available for late-night cravings. Inverness city center and nearby retail parks offer walkable dining options for pre- or post-show meals.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a chill zone than a nightlife hub, you're only a short cab or drive from Inverness's pubs, bars, and live music spots. The on-site bar provides a relaxed vibe to wind down with a local drink after a gig.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and quiet location. Many mention it’s a great value stay, especially with the free breakfast and parking. Travelers also appreciate the easy access to the airport and major Highland attractions.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, so you’ll want to plan ahead for dinner. Some guests mentioned the rooms can feel a bit basic—but they’re practical, clean, and exactly what’s needed for a concert stopover.

The Bottom Line

Holiday Inn Express Inverness is a smart, affordable choice for music fans who want comfort, convenience, and quiet—all within easy reach of Inverness’s buzzing concert scene.

All in all a pleasant...

Liked: 7 minutes by taxi from train station. Beds comfy. Breakfast great! Room had iron/ironing board/ fan. Reception staff lovely as were kitchen /dining staff. If you wanted a rest day at hotel there was all day free tea, coffee and water in the dining area. Didn't get to see it but apparently near the Tesco Superstore. Tea and coffee facilities in room.
Disliked: Could have been more generous with tea/coffee products in room only 2 teabags. No fridge but seems to be the norm now as milk is long life. Would be nice to keep water cold though. Very dull lighting in room.
