Room number 2 was really nice. It was all clean and the staff was helpful. The hotel and rooms are a bit worn down but still, it was a pleasant stay.

The reception staff were so helpful. My husband and I had booked tickets for the Jacobite steam train and we didn't want to have to take our rucksacks. The wonderful lady on reception let us leave our rucksacks in their office, even though check in wasn't till much later in the day. The twin room was clean and tidy, the bathroom was spotless and huge. We stayed in room 12. If i sat on the wide window ledge I could see the Loch. We had dinner in thd bar. The lady behind the bar was friendly, polite and very approachable. My husband had a burger and sticky toffee pudding. I can't remember what I had for a main course, but I remember clearing my plate. The profiteroles were too die for. We slept like a log. The breakfast in the restaurant was self serve buffet style mainly. But the hot cooked breakfast was ordered and cooked fresh. It was delicious. Overall a fabulous stay. If we ever go back to Fort William that is definitely the hotel we will rebook first.

My Second visit to this Hotel, and hopefully I will return. The Staff are attentive and friendly. A nice Bar and restaurant. The Hotel is a few steps away from the Main Street. My Room overlooked the Loch and was clean, and quiet.

The location was great for walking the area--shopping and restaurants all around the corner. The room itself was ok-good enough for our one night stay. Couldn't get the heat to work and the shower didn't have much pressure. Hair dryer didn't work. overall thought is was pricey for what it was.

Loved our room with view of the Loch. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Great breakfast and location perfect. The only fault was the weak pressure on the shower.

The hotel is well located in the town, room was a twin and small. We where on motor bikes barely enough for us and gear. No luggage room, which didn't help breakfast ok. No good if you have mobility issues. Functional, not the best hotel of the trip but the most expensive 😫. Staff where very friendly and pleasant

Nice hotel!

Room was cozy. Small “issue” was the heater didn’t heat all the way to the top, but wasn’t a huge problem for us. Staff was super friendly and good was great!

Comfortable stay with friendly staff

Extremely helpful reception staff when it came to assisting with parking and providing information about the hotel - even organised someone to assist with luggage. Breakfast was very good.
