Leonardo Hotel Inverness

Professional Traveller Review

This hotel is great if you want free parking with no height or width restrictions, so it’s ideal for larger vehicles or trailers. The pool is great and there is the convenience of an on site bar and restaurant or a couple of takeaways nearby if you fancy something quicker.

Leonardo’s Inverness Hotel Dining

Breakfast

Breakfast is buffet style and served in the round shaped dining area on the ground floor.

There can be a limited choice if you are vegetarian or vegan so I would advise letting the hotel know in advance.

Daytime and Evening Dining

The hotel has a ground floor bar area which is open during the daytime and evening.

The menu is the standard Leonardo Hotel menu. It’s got plenty of choice with all the classics on their as well. Here’s the menu for you to take a look at.

Meals are generally served in the bar rather than the room used for breakfast.

Room service is generally available during the same hours that meals are served from and to.

Jury’s Inverness

Eating and Drinking Options Nearby

Kentucky Fried Chicken

This takeaway is on the opposite side of the road from the hotel. Turn right out of the hotel car park entrance, and cross at the crossing.

Be warned – I haven’t found this KFC to be very clean when I have visited.

Dougies Chippy

This is across the road from the hotel. Just turn right out of the hotel car park entrance, cross at the pedestrian crossing and it’s there.

Dougies has an extensive menu with everything from burgers to cockles. It’s also got the classics such as deep fried pizza, and battered deep fried pizza alongwith battered and deep fried snickers and mars bar. Pair that with a can of Irn Bru and you’ve got yourself a proper Scottish meal!

Leonardo Inverness

What’s Nearby

The Leonardo is a little out of town. The main attractions of Inverness are nearer the city centre. However, there are a few things nearby;

The number 5 bus runs from outside the hotel. The stop outside the hotel is the stop for buses heading out of town and this route takes you out to Culloden Battlefield – ideal if you want to visit on public transport.

On the other side of the dual carriageway is Inverness Retail park. You can walk there but it isn’t very pedestrian friendly. I would recommend driving. The retail park has a variety of restaurants, a bowling complex and a Vue cinema as well as shops.

There is a Morrisons supermarket on Millburn Road. Take a right out of the hotel car park entrance and keep walking along Millburn Road. It also has a cafe.

Leonardo Hotel Inverness

  • The Leonardo is a great choice if you want free parking, on site leisure facilities and on site dining options
  • It is a little out of town so you will need a taxi if arriving by train or bus (unless you fancy a longer walk)
  • There can be some road noise from the A9 so you may prefer rooms that face out of the back of the hotel

A good choice if you want leisure facilities, on site dining and free parking
