Overpriced

For the price charged, I expected more of the basics such as daily cleaning of the room, replenishment of drinking water, etc.

Must Love Dogs

The hotel is a block away from the official end of the Westhighland Way trail and offers clean sheets, hot showers and amazing breakfasts! The staff was great, the facility new and clean, the beds comfortable. The hotel is very dog friendly. I have allergies to dogs and am sometimes super allergic in hotel rooms were pets have been but was fine sleeping one night with the window open.

Disappointed

Very disappointed - kettle in room didn’t work and it was a struggle for the staff to find a replacement, was not a double bed but two singles put together. We had a wet room and was not expecting that, water was all over bathroom floor and no where to dry towels etc. only had water in room on first night, asked for more and told they don’t refill after first night stay - would not recommend

Below Expected Standard

Not worth the price, very small room and very expensive. Decoration was tired with many marks and worn out furnishings.
3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great property! Had a great time and stunning surrounding areas. Staff was great and the rooms were comfortable and clean. I enjoyed my morning coffee with a short walk to the Loch. Quiet and great for kids. Only complaint is that the parking lot is tight and we had to back up a few times to get through the alley…and that is a very small complaint. Great home base to explore the Highlands. Very convenient location for outdoor adventures as well as exploring Fort William.
Peter, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel is very good but the rooms are tiiiiny. It’s fine if you’re traveling alone but when there’s two people in one room, it’s very tight and there’s no place to put your suitcase, clothes etc. Breakfast is also very good if a bit overpriced.
YELENA, 2-night trip

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Looks a little like an office block from outside. The interior though was modern and very well appointed. The staff could not be more helpful ans the breakfast was excellent.
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location. Close high street but quiet. Use wonderful liquid soap and lotion. It should have 5 stars. However, I found there is mould in the electrical kettle and stained towels, so I deducted 1 star out of 5.

Great hotel in Fort William- very friendly and organised and great rooms.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is fine, but it's not that nice from the outside. Basically a big parking lot with street lights on all the time. It's also not that central. Fort William is not the nicest town, but we were finishing the West Highland Way walk so we had no choice but to spend the night there. The hotel was good enough.
Jesse, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Premium feel for budget price. Lovely hotel

Great service, upmarket feel at great price. The staff were wonderfully friendly and welcoming. Great location. Nice touches with freebies in room and premium feeling rooms and bathrooms. Only negative was very firm beds. Regardless would be first choice of hotel in fort William.
