Fort William Old Fort of Fort William Hotels

"Rooms or shall I say, apartment, was lovely and plenty of space. However, when we went to go to bed and pulled the sheet back on our bed, there were hairs everywhere. So we we had to go down the hill to reception to collect all new bedding, lug it back up the hill and remake our bed. Wouldn’t have been a big issue but we never got an apology over the 4 days we were there. When we checked out we mentioned it again and was told it had been reported to the area manager. Who and where they were we had no idea. Thought this was quite poor given that we were staying so many nights. These are lovely rooms with great views across the loch and right in town so close to all the amenities. They just need to maybe up the staff levels as only ever seem to be one member of staff about, which is why we had to collect our own sheets. I am not faulting the lady we chatted to on reception, just that there should be at least 2 of them so one can attend to guests issues etc. If it hadn’t have been for this it would have been a perfect stay."

"Second time I’ve used this hotel in a year when visiting FW. Staff are always helpful friendly and chatty. Was able to leave luggage there ahead of check in each time as I arrived early morning on sleeper train each time. Rooms and en-suites are well presented, clean and comfortable. Only marked down in one score as hotel looks a bit grotty on exterior. "

"The hotel was very clean staff were attentive and friendly friend. Fred was brilliant.Food was brilliant. Best breakfast at this hotel"

"Good selection all hot and fresh "

"Room was cold and water in bathroom took ages to get warm. The whole Place looked as it needed renovation. "

"Location - near the bus and train stations, also walkable to town center and waterfront."

"The hotel is very run down. The bedroom was ok but smelt like someone had been smoking in it. The Scouse female member of staff had zero customer service skills! On check in we were completely ignored as she argued with another member of the team about another guests breakfast payment. The gentleman who check me in was polite. We came to the bar later on for a drink and the same female member of staff once again ignored us completely and couldn't even acknowledge our presence. Another female member of staff came from through the back and yelled..."is anyone waiting". Food manners cost nothing and can either make it break the experience of an average hotel. I wouldn't return."

"Lovely welcoming staff who was on in the evening. We had a superior room which was fine, some of the hotel is bit tiered looking as you would expect from a Victorian Highland hotel but communal dinning and sitting areas are clean and well kept. Buffet breakfast we great "

"So first off all the staff were lovely and kind especially Phill the owner was incredibly helpful and assisted me with my luggage. The room was lovely, bed was quite comfortable, food selection at breakfast was sufficient and tasty, good options for vegetarians . The wall and overall artwork inside the building is really pretty 😍 And the view - absolutely mesmerizing. Only thing to keep in mind is theres a very steep hill to access the property and a few stairs to get indoors , but if you have no mobility issues , 100 out of 10 stars. Would definitely recommend 😊"
