Overall this hotel is a perfect base for exploring. Friendly staff and great location.
My Second visit to this Hotel, and hopefully I will return. The Staff are attentive and friendly. A nice Bar and restaurant. The Hotel is a few steps away from the Main Street. My Room overlooked the Loch and was clean, and quiet.

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.

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.
Great location. About 5 minutes from train station. 2 minutes from shops, bars, restaurants. Really comfy bed. Decent breakfast. Good value for money.

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!
