Hostels in Ballachulish

"Decent spot to visit. We only stayed one night enroute to Skye. Both mattresses were rather soft (felt springs), but the room was tidy and clean. Great view of the Loch with a large window that opened fully for that fresh air! Road noise was prevalent yet the traffic subsided early in the evening. If you’re a light sleeper, the walls are not very noise proof. Though we didn’t stay for a meal, The restaurant does serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Free and easy parking for cars/suvs."

"Our stay here was below the standard I would have expected for the price. On the positive side, the location was good and very convenient for getting around. Breakfast was acceptable, with a reasonable selection, and the staff in the breakfast area were friendly and welcoming. However, the overall condition of the hotel was very tired and in need of significant investment. While reception staff were polite at check-in, there was limited engagement beyond that. The room didn’t quite match expectations from the advertised photos, particularly those showing sea views. Our window had metal screws in the frame to prevent it from opening too far, the curtains were noticeably sun bleached, and there were maintenance issues such as a leaking bath and damaged plaster. We also suspected the room may previously have accommodated pets, as my husband, who has mild allergies, experienced some discomfort with his asthma during the stay. When we requested an iron and ironing board, these arrived without a cover for the board, so we had to improvise by using a towel. Another point to note was the £10 per day charge for on-site parking, which felt a little steep given the overall condition of the property. Overall, you could see that this hotel was way past its prime but still has potential to be great again, but requires significant refurbishment."

"Unreal. Special place. Great service and food"

"One of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. (I’m top 1% of Expedia travellers). Good hotel, provides you with good breakfast and a bar next door with wood fired pizza. Great for access to fort William and Ben Nevis or general access to the highlands."

"The views are very pretty. I’m not sure if they’re renovating as the bathroom was clean and up to date but the room was very poor. Stained carpeting, scuffed paint, uncomfortable bed etc."

"The overall experience was"

"Super easy to get to and the parking is right out front. The outside of the hotel is not much to look at but it does face the lake. Inside is a little worn but the staff is really nice and welcoming. You get an actual room key. As in a metal door key. Kind of a throwback but cool. The room was comfortable and clean, updated bathroom. Minimal noise but I could hear the shower in the room next door. You can adjust the temperature but I couldn't figure it out which is probably me. The staff offered to bring a space heater but it wasn't that cold. We did not eat at the restaurant because we went into town. There's a cool cinema there with a restaurant but make reservations if you want to eat there."

"Parking was easy. The entire property is very very dated. There was mold in the shower and the carpet was ripped in the room. The view was great. "

"I had to question if I had been given a superior room as it was small with very little good to say about it. I spend a lot of time in hotels travelling with work and I pay £120-£140 per night and have stoped in some fabulous places with good fixtures and fittings. This hotel is very run down and in need of a lot of refurb. The shower head leaked badly. The water from the shower didn’t get hot but the sink next to it did. I asked to be moved rooms and I ended up with a room with terribly creaky floorboards, shower head no better in the new room and all the fixtures and walls in need of repair or replacement. I enjoyed dinner and the service was quick and good. "
