Cosy and handy

Staff are very helpful and friendly, the hotel is in a handy location and is warm and comfortable although the rooms are not very big. Perhaps someone could explain the huge hand prints on the tiles above the WC?

Must stay

If you’re staying in Fort William and you’re not staying here you’re missing out. Cool building, great staff, rooms were super spacious and comfortable with tons of modern upgrades. If we ever find ourselves in this part of the world again this would be back in a heartbeat.

Great stay here. Loved the little ectras in the room a d fhe staff were really friendly. Good size room, good view from our room of the loch through the buildings and big bed. Free tea and coffee in the lobby was a great addition. Only thing i could comment on that wasnt so positive was the shower. Its in major need of an upgrade as the head of it was leaking and the space was just small and awkward. Small issue tho for an otherwise great stay.

Skipped breakfast, missed out on eggs.

We stayed in a suite, it was a very good size, the bed was comfortable, nice TV and very good small kitchen. The emergency exit light in the bedroom was very bright. The water pressure and the heating in the shower was below average. We stayed for 2 days, the cleaning staff tidied up the bedroom and bathroom, but failed to attend to the kitchen sink/dishes. We did not do the breakfast but I believe its available.

Place was nice but sounded like upstairs was coming through to join us in the apartments 1st night was constantly banging and thumping like someone running about constantly then 2nd night wasnt so bad with new guest but still very loud when they where walking about. They offered pizza room service called up to get this and was told it wasnt in place till end of January also said we would get free breakfast online but wasnt informed about this on our stay so thought that must run end of January too. Apart from that nice place just needs more sound proofing so you can relax without upstairs thumping around.

Spacious and great value

Stayed in one of their apartments with a family of four plus two dogs. Check in was simple at the main hotel reception. The apartments are located a short drive away from the main hotel and overlook the town, but easy to find and access. The apartments all have free off road parking in a small well kept car park next to the apartment entrance. The apartment was spacious and well equipped for any length stay. Easily enough space for a family with two children and two dogs. Kitchen has an oven, hob, washing machine, large fridge/freezer, and all the utensils needed to cook and eat. Overall an excellent sized property situated in the centre of Fort William and walking distance from shops and bars.
