Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit cold with only an electric storage heater that I couldn't get to work, but they had really comfy beds and beautiful modern furnishings. Unfortunately, my room faced the backyard fence and didn't have a view. The service was top-notch, the staff were polite and very pleasant, especially in accommodating food allergies. The location was perfect and easy to find, very close to the town center, and offered a nice view of the Loch. The dining experience was enjoyable with tasty and filling food, albeit a bit challenging for the staff under present circumstances.
The hotel has a small room but provides all you need, although it lacks space to hang wet towels. The service is friendly and efficient, although there were some lapses like serving cold breakfast. The location is convenient, not too far from town and rail stations, but breakfast can be crowded. The dining experience is hit and miss, with location and bathrooms being highlights.
The hotel location was great, but the room lacked the expected view and had some issues. The service was top-notch, however, and the location was convenient. The dining experience was hit or miss, and the facilities were decent.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were a great size and clean, although slightly warm at night, fans were available upon request. The location was perfect for exploring the town and beyond, but some areas could be challenging for those with mobility issues. The dining experience offered a good variety of options, though some dishes were not up to standard. The service was friendly overall, with a few minor lapses in attention. The hotel provided good value for the price.
My stay at this hotel was wonderful. The room was beautiful, with a lovely view of the Loch and a gorgeous four-poster bed. It was very warm but quite uncomfortable, especially considering the 100-pound charge. The room was, however, very nice and clean with a good shower.
The hotel offers a fantastic spot with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a great location near the town. The dining experience could be improved with more options available. Overall, a good value for money stay.
The hotel was pretty good, but the rooms were just a little small. The walls were paper-thin, making it hard to get a good night's sleep with noise traveling easily. On the bright side, the hotel was large. Value for money may not have been ideal at £120 for the night.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the room was cozy with a comfortable bed and a nice bathroom, it felt a bit disconnected at the back of the hotel. The lack of soundproofing was a real downside as noises from neighboring rooms were noticeable. On the bright side, the hotel's public areas like the reception and dining spaces were inviting and well-maintained.
When we arrived at the hotel, the rooms felt a bit cold, but they were spotless and had a really modern bathroom with a rain shower, finished to a high spec. Although the room decor didn't quite match the grand facade, it was comfortable overall. The location was perfect for walking into town, just a short stroll from the High Street. The dining area had a great variety of breakfast options, with a mix of hot and cold choices. The service was excellent, with the staff being really helpful and friendly, although they weren't local and couldn't provide detailed tourist information. Overall, this hotel offers good value for money with clean and comfortable rooms and a convenient location close to town attractions.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The location overlooking Loch Linnhe was fantastic, although there were some issues with service and dining. Overall, it offered good value for the money.
The hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and well-appointed, were disappointing for the price paid, with noisy corridors due to constant door closing clicks. However, the location was excellent, offering stunning views of the mountains and water. The dining was average with clear cost-cutting evident, which was disappointing for an expensive hotel.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel, with rooms offering a veranda overlooking the Loch and being quiet yet so close to the town center. The original part of the hotel was completely and beautifully appointed. The rooms were fantastic, with nice windows in both the bedroom and bathroom. The staff was friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location was superb, very central and accessible to Fort William. The dining experience was great, offering a variety of food and drinks. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor inconveniences.
