All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Stood at reception for 20 mins on arrivals log with 4 other parties, to an empty reception. Rung the bell, shouted and walked around. No answer. Eventually found a KP in the kitchen to try find receptionist which took another 10mins. Rooms clean but a mess of decor. Corridors are tired and the photos online make it look way better than it is. Want to support a local hotel but the premier in is a safer bet.
Our room was small and uncomfortable. The property didn’t seem kept up very well and could use some updates. The staff were friendly but we did not enjoy our stay so we would not return.

Staff were super friendly and the rooms were quiet and clean. There is no lift so getting my suitcase up and down the stairs was a little cumbersome.
Not sure how I booked Muthu, didn’t read the reviews apparently. It is old, smells musty, you can’t drink the water! The walls are so thin we heard snoring and full conversations next door. On top of this TV came on at 4 am on its own, repeatedly,until we unplugged it. Positives - great location, comfortable bed.

Lovely staff
We arrived at the hotel during an atrocious spell of weather- Storm Ashley was approaching. We were welcomed by the lovely Roseanne who was very friendly, professional and helpful.
The hotel is in need of updating. It is a peculiar mix of 1970's kitsch, 1990's pattern and oriental design. The hotel does not appear to have been maintained properly as several things weren't working or were missing.
The central heating in the hotel was not working. We were provided with a small electric heater for the room which was helpful but the rest of the hotel was very cold.
We went for dinner in the restaurant as the weather was becoming quite wild outside. The food was lovely and served on hot plates but as the restaurant/hotel was so cold the food became cold very quickly. Such a shame.
The wind was very high during our first night due to the storm. There was a problem with the window seal and there was a constant sound like a very loud, angry wasp...
I had to phone to reception for someone to come and clean the bathroom as there was a large collection of hair around the edges. The remote control for the main light dimmer wasn't working and we couldn't get the table lamp to work. The staff were quick to respond and the bathroom was cleaned to a higher standard.
We felt the staff were working extremely hard with limited resources.
Thankfully some heating did come on during our second day.
Lovely staff in a hotel that could be lovely with an upgrade and proper maintenance.
The service was 5/5 stars and the people were very helpful. Location is also prime for Fort William and walkable to the town.
The restaurant food was not very good in quality (would recommend going somewhere in town like Ben Nevis or the Geographer) and the room was much under par for what we expected. 3 star expereince
We had an awful stay as had very little sleep because of a constant fan/ventilator noise buzzing all night. No refund for room or food offered.
Waiting staff polite but will not return
Pros
Clean room good breakfast excellent staff

Cons
Room on the small side for a delux room

A very understaffed and disorganised hotel. Our room was not ready on arrival. Second day we were locked out and had to represent to reception to gain access. Rooms were poorly sound proofed and could hear everything going on next door and the next floor. Poor water pressure in the shower and the shower drain was inadequate backing up from the last person to shower. Corridor was blocked in the afternoon due to housekeeping sorting a massive amount of dirty linen in the hallway. There is no drinking water in the room and needs to be sourced from reception who seem to not be present due to other duties most of the time. The staff tried very hard to Please but are obviously overstretched. Rooms are clean otherwise. Beds comfy. I would not stay again.

Friendly and very helpful staff. Clean and bright room. Easy parking and access to downtown
Vanessa was excellent as well as all the staff we interacted with. Flight of whiskey was great price and a nice view to enjoy. Room was very small but we had a nice view.
