  • No pets allowed — Travellers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the property explicitly prohibits pets.

The bottom line

Budget Rooms is a sensible choice for travellers who want a simple, central base in Inverness without paying for extras they don't need. The location is its biggest asset, putting the city centre and train station within easy walking distance. Rooms are generally praised for being clean and comfortable, though the property is basic and the check-in window is tight. If you're after a no-frills stay with a great address, this fits the bill.

6.5A practical, well-located pick for short city breaks.
