DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! After seeing the very unclean, outdated and certainly overpriced room I was very disappointed. Luckily we were only staying for one night or I definitely would have booked in elsewhere. As me and my friends laughed off the overpriced hotel room and set off to climb the very close Ben Nevis I came to realise the bites on my arm which could of only been one thing which is the dreaded bed bugs! I reached out to Expedia to tell them about my health and safety concern which they dealt with very well however on the other hand the hotel which was contacted regarding the complaint refused to hold any accountability or offer any type of compensation. Listen to the reviews and stay well away from this dump.

There are some refurbished rooms on the loch side but we had old rooms backing onto a slope below the car park. The window was open on arrival to mask a musty damp smell. The wallpaper was bubbled and ripped in places. The soap and shower gel dispensers were not properly fixed to the walls. The bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied and the room was cold. The worst was the mattress was in a terrible state- the springs had gone. The public areas were fine and all bed linen and towels were clean. Staff were friendly but the room was well below standard especially at nearly £200 a night. We mentioned all issues on departure and the receptionist did apologise.

On site breakfast was very good. Parking was convenient. Room was quiet and we felt comfortable. Nothing too fancy but a good value for the price we paid. Fort Willaim is a nice town with some good shops and pubs but unfortunately the “fort” was torn down for the railroad a hundred years ago.

Lovely hotel. Receptionist,Ria, was very efficient ,helpful ,polite and very friendly. She made us feel very welcome and answered all our questions about the area. Ria and the girls in the bar who served us not only looked after us but our wee dog was treated very well and given lots of love. The hotel is nice but the staff make it a place that we would definately return to.

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.

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!

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.
