A functional hotel

A functional hotel with a lovely view. Liz at reception was very helpful and welcoming. The room was adequate but I could hear someone snoring in the next room. Kerb appeal could be improved.

10 out of 10 for staff

Staff were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. The hotel is comfortable and met our needs, only thing that might have added to it would have been a fridge especially in the warm weather, but couldn't fault anything. The view from the hotel is stunning. Can't praise the staff or the service we received enough. Thank you so much.

Great staff. Property is a bit older so don’t expect all the updated amenities. Clean for the age of hotel. Perfect for an overnight or a short trip. Beautiful location and super friendly staff. Will stay again.

Carol, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I thin the hotel deserves a higher score than shown. It was friendly, the room was large and well kitted out with sockets and the bathroom was a good size too. The breakfast was tasty, the bar could do with a larger range of beers.
Rob, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Caledonian hotel was clean and simple but very pleasing. The room was average sized and comfortable. The location is wonderful right on the loch with a great view, walkways, and convenience to the outdoor activities around Fort William. The food at the hotel was also very good and there is a large dining room. Recommended!
Erik, 1-night trip

Clean, spacious rooms, with a beautiful view of the lake. Easy to park and close to town
Alexandra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK Hotel, comparatively speaking not the cheapest

Mediocre stay, not a bad hotel, a bit tired and lacking in some expected services, iike room servicing and replenishment.. ie had to ask for extra milk but was told, none were available!! On a positive note, the hotel had good parking, was in a good location and had stunning views over the Loch, just needs a bit of TLC and updating to be on a relative par with other Fort William hotels

Great Staff

Hotel is dated but clean and comfortable, Bar food was good quality and reasonably priced. Breakfast very good is a buffet breakfast. Staff were efficient and very pleasant, I needed to change rooms prior to check in due to mobility issues, they readily acceded to my request. Good hotel would recommend easily.

The hotel is on the older side but still amazing. The staff is what sends it way over 5 stars! The views from the loch side are amazing!

Rebekah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Pros: Beautiful view of Loch across from the hotel. Area was quiet and felt safe. Bathrooms were well lit. Blackout curtains were sufficient. Breakfast buffet was well done - we have several food allergies in our family and they very cheerfully helped us determine which foods might be best for us. Cons: Bathrooms could use an update or at least a better cleaning. Towels were a bit dingy and even stained. We got in late evening and left early morning, so we did not spend much time in the hotel. It met our family’s needs and we would recommend to anyone on a budget looking to stay in the Ft. William area.
