About
Ivanhoe Guest House
Ivanhoe Guest House is a compact, six-room guest house on Lochalsh Road, about a 20-minute walk from Eden Court and 5 minutes from St Michael & All Angels. It sits on a quiet street, yet the city centre and River Ness are within a 15-minute stroll, and Victorian Market is not far either.
Rooms are simple but well cared for, with tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and views of the street. Free parking is available on site, and the guest house is strictly non-smoking with no pets allowed. Guests consistently praise the welcoming host, the cleanliness, and the generous breakfast spread, which includes fresh berries and extra drinks.

- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 21:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — Guests traveling with pets will need to look elsewhere.
- Some rooms are compact — The small single room is described as cozy, which may feel tight for taller or larger guests.
