Nothing to complain about, clean tidy & great breakfast
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.
Great value. Clean and tidy. Staff were polite and helpful. Had dinner, bed and breakfast. Excellent value. Will come again one day.

Lovely room with a view , spotlessly clean and a lovely breakfast. Already looking forward to our next visit.
Only downside is that, Fort William is really quiet out of season.
The hotel is clean and organised. The staff were very friendly and helpful

Got a really rough welcome at check-in- simply for being one hour early- was reprimanded like a child. I almost turned around and left, from the level of rudeness. The people in the restaurant were lovely though!
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!
3 nights, first 2 night take the bath not enough hot water, like loop warm water. And the last night no hot water. Even the staffs said the boiler was running but definitely no hot water until the next morning.
