Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room was tiny but seemed relatively clean
The breakfast was very poor quality for the price we paid
camera piccola con bagno stretto poco funzionale Colazione niente di che. Lo consiglio se sei si passaggio
Estaba cerca de la estación de bus y tiene desayuno, la dueña muy cortés y servicial. La comida muy buena y las habitaciones son amplias muy cómodas
Algunas gradas que subir con la maleta sin embargo eso no es un problema
The beds were comfortable.
1. There was no hot water in the shower and it could not be fixed during our stay. 2. When brought to staff attention, they entered the room without waiting for permission to enter. 3. the hot breakfast was cold (and we were the first to arrive at the meal). 4. there was plastic material in the sausages that were served. 5. Saying "sorry" was insufficient.
Plenty of parking
Not having the room serviced , stayed for 3 nights had to wash up our cups in the sink , bin didn’t get emptied, had to clear you own table after breakfast
Fantastic
15 min from bus and train station, good breakfast, clean room
Location and breakfast. And parking.
Rather noisy as next to busy road.
typowe angielskie śniadanie w postaci szwedzkiego stołu. Dobre miejsce jako punkt wypadowy w okolice Ben Navis
dość małe pokoje
Breakfast. Location
Old furnitures.
Pas grand chose ...
La route est dans la chambre ... très bruyant Petit déjeuner produits bas de gamme Salle de bain à revoir ... Loin de la ville
Really clean and tidy Guest house. Rooms comfortable and tidy 10 mins walk into town and a Wetherspoon pub for a cheap meal. The town is lovely. Breakfast was so huge with a lot of options in buffet style. If you’re a James Bond fan. Only a 40 min drive to skyfall road.
Nothing. Great place.
Super B&B, personnel gentil et efficace, chambre bien, lit comfortable et petit déjeuner style buffet excéllent.
Rien, il faudrait être difficile pour ne pas apprécier ce B&B.
Es war sehr sauber und die Betten waren gemütlich. Der Frühstücksraum war nett eingerichtet und alles war ganz frisch zubereitet.
Wir hatten uns etwas anderes vorgestellt. Wir dachten Destillery Guest House, wäre etwas gehobener mit Destillery, in der man abends evtl. Whiskey kosten könnte. Das Haus ist sehr hellhörig und die Flure sehr eng. Kleines Zimmer. Wir hatten uns nicht wohl gefühlt, weil wir etwas anderes erwartet haben. Und es liegt an einer viel befahrenen Straße. Aber wenn man darauf vorbereitet ist und vielleicht nur eine Nacht bleibt, ist es ok.
Within walking distance to town centre(20minutes) Breakfast was really good,nice dining room,plenty of food choices,nice juices and coffee. Comfy bed. Heating was on in the room when i returned ltr in the day and being a bit damp from the September rain was very welcoming.
Noise from reception and main road due to ground floor room.
Close to the city center (20 minute walk).
Too expensive for the old house. I got a room that was very tiny and not beautiful.
Die Lage war super, man konnte alles gut zu Fuss erreichen.
Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis hat einfach nicht gepasst, es ist viel zu teuer für das was es ist. Das Zimmer wurde für 94.- p.P/Nacht nicht einmal frisch gemacht am nächsten Tag.
Einzelzimmer, clevere Teeküche im Schrank, Bad und WC und Zimmer sauber, Frühstück vom Büffet im großen Frühstücksraum mit Aussicht
Kleine Verzögerung beim Einchecken, aber dafür umso herzlicher
The breakfast was excellent! Many options and well cooked.
The room and bathroom was very small and needed some general maintenence.
Helpfulness of staff and comfy beds.
Bathroom a little small.
Parking pratique Accueil avec une friandise et serviettes magnifiquement pliées sur les lits
Les chambres nécessiteraient un rafraîchissement
The breakfast was very good
There wasn’t anyone to greet us on arrival, another family had been waiting even longer. Eventually someone appeared. The basin taps were rubbish, the plug didn’t seal the basin to help ld water, the shower tray leaked which made the notice to keep the floor dry a bit of a joke. There wasn’t a bath/shower mat, difficult to see how the owners could demand we keep the floor dry.
Op loopafstand van het centrum
Kleine kamer, zeer basaal ontbijt, niet echt vriendelijk personeel, behoorlijk prijzig, typisch voorbeeld van waar het druk is (Fort William) je de hoofdprijs betaald voor weinig kwaliteit.
De locatie
De kamer ,klein een krukje verder geen zit plaatsen ,je zit op het bed.
Convenient
Dingy building in poor state of repair - even the name is falling off the outside wall. No provision for disabled parking. Small room with multiple things broken in the bathroom. Very basic breakfast buffet. This would not be so bad if we had paid for a basic place but the price led us to expect a better quality establishment.
La habitación muy cálida y camas cómodas. El entorno muy verde.
La ducha, sale poca presión aunque si que la temperatura super bien.
Mooie kamer
Nice atmosphere. Very clean
Very weak shower pressure and small sink
You could walk downtown-quick 15 minutes. Easy parking behind the building
The carpet was filthy. We had to get the lady to change our sheets as they were dirty. The noise from the road makes it very hard to sleep. The room was very small and so was the bathroom.
Easy, free parking 15 minutes walk from the city centre
Parcheggio e colazione accettabile
Bagno cieco lillipuziano , lavandino minuscolo, due mani insieme non ci stavano. Letto di qualità medio/bassa. In generale rapporto qualità/prezzo imbarazzante.
Good location
No staff on check in. Took ages to attract someone’s attention. Room was dated and bed was uncomfortable
Camera piccola ma pulita,finalmente una camera senza moquette.colazione buona.personale gentile e disponibile.
Pokoj byl čistý.
Velmi staré, pokoj malý, vybavení neudržované, koupelna s plísní, velmi hlučné pokoje, kde je vše slyšet.
Posizione strategica, poco fuori dal centro di Fort William che si raggiunge in circa 15 minuti a piedi e 5 minuti in macchina. Ottima colazione inglese, stanza spaziosa con letti abbastanza comodi, silenziosa e dotata di bollitore per thè e caffè. Parcheggio disponibile nei pressi della struttura e facilità di check-in.
Bagno in stanza un po' stretto e con ventilazione non funzionante.
The buffet breakfast was well cooked, adequate and well presented. The one member of staff (seen) throughout our four night stay was hard working and friendly.
My wife and I stayed in Room 4 and for being charged £765 for a four night stay we expected at best a room with a separate bathroom and not a room with a sink. Alongside the room was a 1m x 2.5m closed windowless 'cupboard' that contained a small shower unit and a toilet. We did note that most, if not all, of the other rooms had separate bathrooms. During our entire stay there was no evidence that any member of staff had entered the room apart from when we asked for the shower soap to be refilled. Coffee, tea or milk was not replenished and neither were the towels. We made up our bed every morning.
Huge disappointment total rip off!
Everything
Parcheggio privato gratuito a 10 minuti a piedi dal centro!
Acqua calda instabile
Pas grand chose à part l'emplacement proche du centre ville de Fort William et le parking a côté de l'établissement.
Personnel inexistant, réception fantôme...une personne est apparue à 14h pour nous remettre les clés sans un mot(ni anglais, ni français ni espagnol...) puis terminé plus personne de tout le séjour!!Nous n'avons jamais vu ça !!La chambre était petite mais propre, salle de bain minuscule, douche qui a tendance à se boucher au fur et à mesure que l'eau coule, impossible de régler l'eau au lavabo. Petit déjeuner très approximatif,pas de choix,le strict nécessaire ..TROP cher pour une prestation aussi mauvaise!! Je déconseille.
Le petit déj est agréable. L'hôtel facile à trouver. La gentillesse de la gérante.
Hôtel un peut loin du centre ville . L'hôtel est vieillot et la chambre est très petite. Il est situé sur une rue passante et pas loin d'un rond point mais cela ne nous à pas impacter. Mauvaise literie avec un matelas à ressort . Nous avons mal dormis.
The property is in a well located area for travel traveling around the western side of Scotland.
The soap container was empty, the doors to the shower were broken, and the room was so small. There was no room to put the luggage.
It was adequate but no more
Tired looking reception...bathroom sliding door not sliding....no hot water in the basin tap.Had the feel it needed
Nette, saubere Unterkunft. Die Lage ist gut und das Frühstücksbuffet ausreichend.
classica guest house dei piccoli centri scozzesi colazione giusta per il tipo di struttura attenzione per le allergie alimentari
dimensioni delle camere e dei bagni veramente piccole struttura vecchia e con servizi scarsi
Parcheggio privato Abbastanza vicina al centro (15 minuti circa di camminata) Stanza classica inglese con moquette In questa camera il lavandino è fuori dal bagno ma ci si abitua subito
Colazione scarsa Prezzo decisamente troppo alto per ciò che offre Purtroppo la moquette abbastanza sporca
Brilliant breakfast and host.
Breakfast was fantastic. Location is good. Staff was helpful and friendly.
Room was very small.
Proximité centre ville moins de 15 mns à pieds. Parking Petit déjeuner satisfaisant
Accueil inexistant Chambre dite familiale très très exiguë, une seule chaise dans la chambre, salle de bain inappropriée, lave main en guise de lavabo, pas de place pour poser ses affaires. Pas de pression d’eau, odeur d’humidité ++++
The ambience around the house, terrace and breakfast room was nice.
The place was completely overpriced with approx.200Euro per night. The sink was the size of a piece of paper, only cold water, the room ambience was quite aged.
La cama y el cojín comodisimosss
La cama es comoda
El desayuno es malo y el precio es altísimo para lo que ofrece
La nostra camera era così piccola che non permetteva di aprire le valigie. Colazione varia ma mediocre. Conduzione non autoctona.
Molto poco! Solo la posizione abbastanza vicina al centro
Praticamente tutto! Staff poco cortese, pulizia approssimativa!
Breakfast was ok
Staff were impersonal
Nothing special
The shower wouldn't switch off. No hot water in the morning. Very poor quality breakfast. We didn't even stay for breakfast on the day of our departure. Very disappointed with the accommodation after paying over £200 per night
Fin lokasjon ikke langt fra sentrum.
Små rom, middelmådig frokost og litt gammeldagse fasiliteter.
Bed linen and towel smelt good
Too expensive - room very humid and a bit smelly
La limpieza y el desayuno
El baño era muy pequeño, no te podías duchar de pie, nuestra puerta no tenia cerrojo. El personal no era muy agradable
Bien situé Bon petit dejeuner, English Breakfast
Salle de bain vieillotte à rafraîchir Pratique comme étape mais Fort Williams ville à éviter.... déprimant
Morgenmaden ikke det store udvalg men OK
Prisen på 240 Pund/ nat exorbitant dyrt i forhold til kvaliteten. Megt lille værelse, ingen faciliteter eks. ingen bar eller opholdsområder. Ifølge værten var prisen 190 som også ville være for dyrt. Er det Booking.com der scorer så stort et gebyr?? er det ihverfald sidste gang jeg bruger dem(
Sehr ordentlich, aber für den Preis etwas beengt.
Ligging is prima. Prive parkeerplaatsen
Slecht onderhoud. Prullenbak niet geleegd. Zeer slecht en klein bed. Lang moeten wachten voordat er iemand naar de receptie kwam om in te checken. Receptioniste spreekt nauwelijks Engels. En dit alles voor een extreem hoge prijs….
Very clean, friendly staff, nice outside area if the weather allows, good location for hiking.
The coffee at the breakfast wasn't great, so I switched to tea on the second day
Good location
Rather tired decor in the rooms that didn’t reflect the dearest hotel on the WHW
Struttura con pulizia adeguata. Il letto era comoda. Il centro è raggiungibile in pochi minuti a piedi con comoda strada
La camera e il bagno sono piuttosto piccoli. Le tende lasciano passare troppa luce e dalla nostra stanza si sentivano molto i rumori provenire dalla trafficata strada. Visto il costo di 189 GBP a notte, ci aspettavamo una qualità ben maggiore
im großen und ganzen hat alles gut gepasst. die unterkunft war sauber und die ausstattung war gut. das frühstück war überschaubar, war aber trotzdem gut und sogar ich als veganerin hab mir was gefunden (obwohl die auswahl da dann natürlich nicht so groß war, aber sowas wie sojamilch gab es zb schon). was ich sehr toll fand war, dass ich mein gepäck sowohl vor dem check-in als auch nach dem ckeck-out in der unterkunft unterbringen durfte, dadurch konnte ich noch ein wenig die gegend erkunden:) die damen, die dort arbeiten, waren außerdem sehr hilfsbereit
Es war sauber und die Lage ist recht zentrumsnah.
Sehr teuer und es wirkte auf uns irgendwie lieblos und veraltet.
Sauber, ordentliche Ausstattung, freundliches Personal
Das Frühstück geht nur bis 8:45h. Da das sehr unüblich ist, sollte vor der Buchung darüber informiert werden. Unser Zimmer war sehr klein. Kein Platz um 2 Koffer zu öffnen.
We were on a road trip so it was a good and central place to stay for a night.
Abbiamo passato una notte nella struttura durante il nostro road trip della Scozia. Struttura accogliente,facile da raggiungere e molto vicina al centro di Fort William con una passeggiata di cinque minuti circa. Gestori molto simpatici e disponibili, che ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa. Fiore all’occhiello è stata la colazione, preparata al momento secondo la tradizione scozzese.
It was convenient for breaking our breaking our journey I
The configurations of the twin room was good
The location and that was a typical B&B. The staff were very helpful and friendly
Location was walking distance to the shops, restaurants & Jacobite train. Room was clean & tidy. Plenty of off street parking for guests. Nice breakfast.
The scented sticks in the room. Lumpy mattress. Limited space for suitcases. Stairs.
De intake procedure was snel en correct.
Ik vond dit meer weg hebben van een hotel dan van een b&b. Het was wat onpersoonlijk. Ook het ontbijt was meer een hotelontbijt dan wat je verwacht van een b&b.
Our room was very comfortable and a quiet atmosphere made it conjusive to a good nights rest.
Property in need of a good makeover
Die Lage war mit 15min Fußweg in die Innenstadt super. Das Zimmer war sauber. Das Personal war freundlich.
Absolut in die Jahre gekommen, sehr hellhörig. Zimmer viel zu klein. Beim Frühstück gab es nach kurzer Zeit kein Brot mehr. Preis-Leistung super schlecht und sehr enttäuschend.
Location,parking room with view ,clean tidy
Traffic noise with window open .Sink plug in op
Dejlig terrasse
Værten ved ankomst var ikke særlig meddelsom
BF was good could have been better with variety of different menu daily.
The location is excellent, just a short distance from the centre of Fort William, making it very convenient for exploring the area. There is plenty of parking available, which was a big advantage. The views from the property are beautiful, and the breakfast was enjoyable with a good selection to start the day.
The room was quite small, and the bed was a little too compact and not very comfortable for two people. The bathroom, especially the shower area, was very cramped, making it less comfortable to use. The interior feels a bit dated and could benefit from some refurbishment. There is no lift, and the staircase is quite narrow, which can make carrying large luggage difficult. The room also does not have air conditioning, so it can become warm during the summer unless the windows are kept open.
Cute hotel.
Nothing.
La Michela i el Walter van ser encantadors i molt atents amb nosaltres. L'allotjament és funcional, còmode, molt net i amb pàrquing gratuït.
Per moure's sense cotxe està una mica lluny del centre de la ciutat, tot i així és una zona bona i tranquil·la.
Nice rooms, comfortable, breakfast
Pokój wystarczająco wyposażony. W pokoju czajnik z zestawem herbat i kawy. Czystość pokoju oraz bielizny pokojowej i łazienkowej nie budziła zastrzeżeń. Śniadanie w formie bufetu urozmaicone. W pobliżu budynku bezpłatny, wygodny parking.
Pokój dosyć ciasny. W pokoju skrzypiąca podłoga.
De fietsen mochten binnen in een afgesloten schuur. De kamer was klein met een krap bed, maar functioneerde redelijk, er waren 2 ramen die ver open konden voor de ventilatie. De inrichting was redelijk gezellig. De badkamer zag er vernieuwd uit en functioneerde goed. De WiFi was net voldoende. Het was schoon.
De eigenaar was niet erg vriendelijk. Het hotel lag aan een drukke weg, dus er was tot 's avonds laat en 's morgens al vroeg veel luidruchtig verkeer. Het ontbijt was niet bijzonder. Ik vond het veel te duur voor wat het bood.
Accueil tres sympathique Situation
Fick ett väldigt litet rum. Gick inte att öppna resväskan när den stod på golvet. Fönsterna var täckta så man kunde inte se ut. Frukosten var bra. Badrum var bra.
Det var ett väldigt trångt rum. Badrummet var större till ytan.
Die Lage der Unterkunft ist gut, da man in wenigen Minuten im Stadtzentrum ist. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich und der Check-In unkompliziert. Parkplätze waren in ausreichender Menge hinter dem Haus vorhanden.
Das Gästehaus scheint sehr in die Jahre gekommen zu sein. Renovierungen sind hier nicht zu bemerken. Es sieht ganz so aus, als würde hier nur das Nötigste repariert, erneuert wohl weniger, wie z.B. ein nicht funktionierender Warmwasserhahn, sowie ein ausgeleierter, wackelnder Toilettensitz. Dies ist auch deutlich an den durchgelegenen Matratzen zu bemerken. Eine Verdunklung der Fenster gibt es gar nicht, d.h. es ist bis in den späten Abend und schon sehr früh in den Morgenstunden hell, sodass vermutlich nicht jedermann viel Schlaf finden kann. Das Frühstück ist, selbst für ein englisches, wenig attraktiv. Es gibt keine Rühreier, frisches Obst vermisst man ganz, dafür gibt es Industrie-Obst-Cocktail aus der Dose. Frische Wurst und Käse vermisst man hier ganz. Der Orangensaft schmeckt, als wäre er mit Wasser zu einer Schorle gestreckt worden. Ich schließe mich einem meiner Vorgänger von hier an und bemerke, dass hier wirklich noch viel Luft, sowohl in der Qualität, als auch in der Vielfalt, nach oben ist. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt hier auf gar keinen Fall, wie auch die Bilder auf Booking.com. Die angepriesenen Holzmöbel auf der Veranda existieren so nicht.
The bed was decently comfortable
The hotel was very outdated. The shower was angled in a way that you can only stand up in one spot without hitting your head, also there was no shower curtain so the floors became slippery. The walls are very thin and the stairs creak loudly, you can hear everyone enter and exit their rooms
Personalet
Slidt badeværelse
Great room and nice breakfast
Lots of instructions and rules on laminated pieces of paper everywhere. But understand it's to make life easier for the owners and some people must do idiotic things.
Breakfast was great good selection to choose from. Location good .met our needs for one night
Maybe a little TLC to freshen up . But would definitely recommend
Schottische Frühstück als Buffet war ok
Personal interessiert sich nicht für einen
Good location, comfy bed
Saw member of staff to show us to room then no contact afterwards. Breakfast poor not what was rated.
Wir waren leider nur eine Nacht. Sehr nettes B&B, die Besitzer sehr freundlich. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Alles sauber! Würden wir wieder buchen!!! Dankeschön!
El desayuno era muy bueno, la ubicación estaba muy bien, tenia un restaurante al lado y nos dieron un pequeño descuento. El hotel era muy bonito y el personal muy amable, disfrute mucho de mi estancia en esta Guest House.
Nada.
Brak suszarki, wystrój
good location and very nice staff.
struttura appena fuori dalla cittadina facilmente raggiungibile a piedi o in autobus. Posizione tranquilla .Struttura accogliente e curata! Ottima colazione inclusa nel prezzo servita in una bella sala Nelle vicinanze c'è tutto . Viaggiavamo Senza macchina ma la zona e servita da un efficente servizi di autobus! La stazione e vicina e da li parte una delle linee ferriovarie più belle d'Europa! I gestori sono una coppia di italiani simpaticissimi
il letto è fornito di solo piumone. Chi come me è poco freddoloso magari gradirebbe avere anche un lenzuolo per coprirsi tirando via il piumone. Ma questa è oramai una caratteristica comune a molti alberghi e comunque a tutti quelli nei quali ho alloggiato in scozia
