Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay at the hotel, with beautiful rooms and super helpful staff. Although a bit on the pricey side due to limited availability, the comfort of the rooms made up for it. The service was top-notch despite a small billing confusion, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience could use a few improvements, but overall, it was a fantastic stay.
Staying at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were nice and clean, and the staff was very friendly. However, the location could use some modernization, but it was still excellent for exploring Fort William or as a stopover for traveling north. The dining experience was exceptional, with a great selection of foods, though the temperature of some dishes was a bit off. Plenty of furnishings added to the comfort of the stay.
I had a lovely weekend stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy but needed updating, with too much furniture making it feel cramped. The lack of a nice view made it a bit dull and dismal. The pink bedding and towels showed signs of wear, needing a refresh. The service was pleasant and helpful, although it could be more attentive at times. The location was superb, close to the train station, shops, and restaurants, making it ideal for exploring. The dining experience was satisfactory, but there were some inconsistencies. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and having tea making facilities was a nice touch. Waking up early due to the bright morning light was a minor inconvenience, but the overall room quality was excellent. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially in providing dairy information for dishes. The central location was perfect for exploring the town and enjoying the beautiful views. The dining experience was quite good with ample vegetarian options available. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were well decorated with a massive en suite bathroom that had an external window, but the lack of double glazing let in outside noise. There was plenty of storage space, but unfortunately, there was a very unpleasant smell lingering in the room facing the center courtyard on the ground floor.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were lovely, spacious, and clean with nice tea and coffee facilities, including hot chocolate.
The hotel had a newly decorated modern bathroom which was excellent, offering a very comfortable bed, good heating, a lovely bathroom, and good lighting. However, the room was so cold that we couldn't even sit on the beds or chair; besides that, it was spotless with comfy beds and pillows.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but unfortunately, my sleep was disrupted by the loud humming from a generator all night. The breakfast experience overshadowed the cleanliness and comfort of the room.
The classic double room I stayed in seemed quite dated, with issues like the paper on the bathroom ceiling peeling off, cracked floor tiles, and windows that had condensation in the morning. The hotel's look gave off a tired and worn-out vibe. The staff were sporty people that were very friendly and helpful, especially the night porter. However, the room seemed to cater more towards those who are into sports.
My stay at the hotel was really enjoyable. The room was lovely, spacious, and clean, which I appreciated. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. The location was perfect for exploring the city by foot and for onward travel. The dining experience was good quality and plentiful. Overall, a great experience with some minor room odor issue.
The hotel had both positives and negatives. The rooms, though clean and tidy, felt extremely old and dated, not meeting the advertised standard. However, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The location was ideal for train travel and exploring the town, but the dining options were just good, not outstanding.
