Good hotel, good breakfast, good position
We had a very good stay at the Caledonian Hotel. The hotel was very good value, the breakfast was great and the staff friendly and helpful. I did find that we had to wait to get a drink at the bar in the evening on a couple of occasions as there was nobody about. However I accept that we were staying in late November and hotel numbers were probably way down on peak. I think the decor was a bit tired but not a problem. Perhaps could benefit from a lick of paint and some new carpets. I’m just adding this in as a nice to have. Not a requirement! The hotel position is a little way out of Fort William, so is really a drive into town rather than a walk. Well in cold wet weather certainly! I would have walked in summer. The view from the front across the Loch is beautiful. There are tables set out on the grass infront of the hotel for taking your drinks outside which would have been lovely in summer. The main A82 road does pass in front of this and is between the hotel and the Loch, but that’s not really a problem. We didn’t find the road noise a distraction from our room facing the Loch/road. From a position point of view, the hotel is well situated for exploring nearby and also quite far if you want to drive a bit. We went on one day to Skye, on another to Loch Ness and Culloden. Plus you are close to Ben Nevis, so can’t be bad! Overall we had a great stay, with great breakfasts to start our day.

Hotel rooms were clean, amenities present. Restaurant timings and service inconsistent. Staff could be a little more friendly. Far away from shops but overall would come again.

For the price, surprisingly good hotel. Many similarities to a Premier Inn, but at the fraction of the price. Some of the decor isn't great, but they get the basics right, which is crucial. Definitely recommend this, hotel.

Pleasent stay.
Nice size room. Clean and comfortable. Nice, buffet breakfast. Good bar with meal options. Nice view over the Loch linnhe (if you get a front facing room). You can walk into Fort William if you feel like a 1 hour walk. There is a bus but I don't know times/fares. It's best as a base to see other places line Ben Nevis, Glencoe, Oban etc.

Although the hotel is a bit tired it served our needs at a good price. Location is good, not quite close enough to town for walking. Limited menu and stops serving at 8pm. Food was reasonable cost and quality.

Perfect for what i wanted, clean, warm, comfortable, and bonus- a bath! Not a complaint, just to help others, only 2 sockets in room, with kettle and tv already plugged in, so had to keep turning something off to use the socket. I was s solo traveller but with 2 people in room using many gadgets, could be tricky(take a double plug or small excrement lead)
