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.

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
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.

Okay
The main areas are nice, and breakfast was good, but the room was tired and a a bit shabby. Radiator didn't work so very cold. Very thin duvet. Could all use a refresh. Okay but not great for the price!
