The hotel and room were really clean . The location is stunning . The view at the lake is breathtaking! Breakfast was really tasty and the hotel's staff was really kind and helpful.
What really surprised me was the soya milk in the room. As a person who is lactose intolerant it was important I could get a chance to have coffee with milk :)

I went up for a job interview and fell in love with the views which were breathtaking. The people were polite and welcoming on the whole. The food was good when we had dinner or lunch outside the hotel.

Fort William as a town needs investment, depending on why you are there I suppose would change your opinion.
Ben nevis 10 mins away, beautiful loch on doorstep fishing , climbing walking, down hill cycling, ski ing, diving all plus points.
Night time especially week night useless.
Morar and Mallaig to the North beautiful and in summer amazing beach at Morar.
If you are there for hobby or sport great base camp, if you are a tourist and like entertainment at night during the week go somewhere else.

Fort William was as nice as usual however please note certain businesses are only open during tourist season. We also enjoyed filling up on the gondolas at Nevis Range. I must say though, try and avoid Caledonia hotel. The toilet was like what you get in a nursery and my private parts in the water. Carpet threadbare, wallpaper coming off the walls due to dampness, a very uncomfortable bed, adjoining door that we were not made aware of. Electricity was off on arrival and due to my dust allergies and at 3pm the room had not been cleaned, we left and checked in later. There was still dirt in the room and at the top of the bed, I caughed thru the night both nights. When it rained you could hear a loud drip from within the wall cavity. I'm not a confrontational person and didn't feel comfortable bringing the issues up with reception, so just be warned. The lift was out of order too. Beware room 220!!! Such shame being a brilliant location .

Fort William is a nice little town very well located.
Fort William is a nice little town very well located. It's ten minutes away from Ben Nevis and 45mn from Glencoe ski resort. Before that, you have all the Glencoe mountains to explore. There are still a lot to do during winter, even if snow sports are not an option due to lack of snow and/or high winds. You have the West Highland Museum, a brand new movie theatre, the Ben Nevis distillery, an indoor climbing centre, etc.

Fort William is beautiful and has lots of areas to check out within a short drive. A great place to stay and visit the Harry Potter sites (by car) plus the views are spectacular. We also enjoyed plenty of the bars and cafes and enjoyed a night at the local cinema too.
Hotel was very clean, modern and newly refurbished. Immaculate everywhere. Good location opposite the loch and near the high street for some good pubs and amazing restaurants (the Garrison!), and some shops.
Delicious cooked and continental breakfast, and easy parking in hotel’s car park.
Good location to visit Ben Nevis, Glenfinnan (Harry Potter train and aquaduct) and Oban (great whiskey distillery tour, harbour, and much bigger town than Fort William), and other places too.
From check-in, the owner notified us that the place was ready early. Upon arrival, check-in was easy, the place was clean, very well stocked, and even old-school short-term rental, a welcome basket complete with proseco.
The location is ideal, quiet street easy walk to town. Beds were comfortable, and there was even a working fire placewhich was great after a day of hiking in in and out rain. Would return again if I ever return to Fort Williams. Thanks, Rose, for a great stay!
I couldn’t have been happier to stay at Gowan Brae. The room was well appointed with everything I could’ve needed, the location was far enough from the Main Street to be quiet but a quick walk from restaurants, and the proprietor, Anne, was affable and welcoming. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and made better with a view of the Loch. I would recommend to anyone visiting Fort William.
The Garrison was a brilliant hotel in the heart of Fort William. I loved how this hotels welcome dogs as wee took our wee staffy with us. The room was clean, I felt it was a good size for what it is for a nice cosy bed for the night. We will definitely be staying her again with and without our pup. Thank you for a wonderful stay and the snacks in the room (that were complimentary).
Beautiful location on the edge of Loch Linnhe, close to Fort William and walking distance to a hotel for an evening meal. The host could not have been more friendly or accommodating, happily dropped us off at the train station on our second day and helped organise a taxi for us to go further afield for an evening meal as well.
The hotel was lovely. Our room was comfortable spacious and a pleasure to stay in. Breakfast was great and the owners were lovely people and very welcoming. Not too far to walk to the centre of Fort William and also a lovely walk beyond the hotel in the direction of Ben Nevis. Would definitely recommend staying here
The hotel was easy to find and conveniently located close to Fort William. It was a last minute booking and the price was great! The staff in the restaurant at reception and breakfast were welcoming and helpful. The breakfast had a wonderful variety of foods to suit everyone’s preferences.
Outstanding little cabin just across the lake from Fort William with an amazing view. Easy to get there following the provided directions. Great base fpr exploring the area without fighting crowds in Fort William. Super clean and exactly as represented in the photos/description.
Comfortable and spacious accommodations with a good view of the "sleeping elephant," and a quick drive to the train station as well as shops and restaurants. If you're looking for a place to stay in Fort Williams, we definitely recommend Ramblers Rest!
