Hotels in Fort William

"The hotel has seen better days and could do with attention to details, especially the public areas. The rooms however, were clean and organised. Reception staff was very friendly as was one of the restaurant staff. The hotel looks like 25 years ago and hasn’t been updated since. The outside of the hotel doesn’t look inviting, rather scruffy. It also appears to cater for tour groups.  Breakfast was ok, but again a bit of modernisation wouldn’t go amiss. A 10:00 am check out time is too early and should be considered when booking this hotel."

"Hotel parking is free and convenient, the room is spacious, but the facilities are a bit old and a bit musty, the sheets do not feel too clean. I didn't dare to open the window at night, and the room was equipped with a fan for a little ventilation. The price is not very high."

"The hotel is on the main road of the town, and it is very convenient to go out for meals. The hotel has drinking water, which is very good. The breakfast is super delicious. It is made to order and is more delicious than the main meal. You must order breakfast. The waiter is very good. He makes tea, coffee and juice for you. He is very diligent. There are a lot of salmon in the smoked salmon bagel. The yogurt cup is also very delicious."

"We have set a suite with a sofa bed, which is very suitable for friends to travel together, or a family of three. The hotel is close to the A82 road, which is very easy to find. Capsule coffee is available, not bad. Nice street view"

"It is said to be a very historical hotel. Just by the lake, the scenery is good. The door is the ferry boat, it is convenient to go to the other side, the car is 12 pounds once, people are free. Self-driving is OK, if you go to the town of Fort William, it is a bit around, and the ferry is much closer to the other side. There are no shopping and dining around. The hotel room is relatively small, we 3 people, a double bed, 1 bunk bed, 2 small rooms, the bathroom is also very small, the corridor is like a maze. Breakfast 8-10 is a way to order food. We chose breakfast with breakfast and also a point. Breakfast is not bad, recommended salmon scrambled eggs, Scottish salmon is delicious."

"The hotel is in a good location, located in the city center, just across the road from the ruins of Fort William, with a supermarket next to it and close to the commercial street, making shopping and dining very convenient. The surrounding attractions are not far away and it is convenient for sightseeing."

"The hotel is looking and feeling very tired and dated and in serious need of upgrading.  They’re charging 2025 prices for 1980 standard services.  They clearly cater for bus tours and large parties which are not there to appreciate where they are and their surroundings.  There was serious problem with running hot water in the room as well as in the showers in the spa.  I overheard many guests complaining about no hot water in their rooms at reception.   Breakfast was very disappointing, they offer a continental selection of one type of cold meat and one type of sliced cheese with pan loaf bread!  Fort William boasts artisan bakery’s so no excuse there.  During breakfast very loud 80s movie themed music is blaring, the dining room is so big there’s practically a speaker above every second table.  When asked to turn it down we were met with a standard reply, “I was just asked to turn it up”. Totally unbelievable.  Due to the large parties tables are not cleared fast enough nor cleaned, we had to clean and set our own table before we could eat and this is where we were directed to sit. Waiting staff are clearly not trained nor directed appropriately for a hotel boasting a high standard.  We were not encouraged to dine in the hotel at all. The exterior of the building is not only showing signs of disrepair but is also very dirty. They are missing the B in the main signage and is the first thing you see on arrival.   Positives:  the room was clean although all views from most rooms do not look out onto anything nice.  Temperature of the pool, steam room and jacuzzi excellent.  The lounge bar appeared to have the best atmosphere and felt like a highland hotel. Would I recommend this hotel? Definitely not!   Would I stay there again? Definitely not!"

"Good atmosphere"

"The hotel is in a good location, with a lake on one side and a commercial street on the other. Parking is convenient. If the hotel parking lot is full, you can park the public parking lot 50 meters away and stay free before 8:00. The house is older, the room is small, and the facilities are old. The staff is very welcoming and the attitude is very good."

"Recommended for mountain climbing"
