Perfect location with beautiful views and right next to Neptune’s Staircase, and the opportunity to see the Jacobite Steam Train (Harry Potter) go by a couple of times a day. Breakfast was great, and the staff were pleasant.

Terri United States of America

Great executive room overlooking the Caledonian Canal, The room was modern & clean. Warm & friendly staff, a well managed hotel.

Christopher United Kingdom

The family room was laid out exactly as advertised. Perfect for a family of 4 - 2adults &2 childfen

Crystal United States of America

The location was great and the room was large enough for four adults.

Katie United States of America

The location, the view, and the staff. The hotel was immediately adjacent to Neptune’s Ladder. Our rooms and the restaurant had great views of Ben Nevis and Neptune’s Ladder. The manager Ravi was quick thinking and eager to fix the problem we had on arrival which was that no twin rooms were available. He offered us an upgraded Executive Room with a balcony view of Ben Nevis, then separated the king bed into two separate twin beds on the spot. Problem solved. The waiters and housekeeping staffers were very eager, helpful, and accommodating.

Clare United States of America

The location is lovely and the rooms very inviting and comfortable. The hotel restaurant was accommodating to our needs and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The breakfast was delicious as well. The view from the restaurant out onto their gardens was wonderful.

Connie Canada

Stayed here before 7 years ago and thought we’d try it again and it didn’t disappoint, excellent hotel, very friendly staff, food very good and ideal location for exploring the area, we will certainly be back.

Mark United Kingdom

Lovely friendly hotel with an excellent view of Ben Nevis and right next to the beginning of the Caledonian canal. Fabulous food and exceptional service.

William United Kingdom

Great staff - very professional. We ordered food from the restaurant to be delivered to the room and they were very efficient in preparing and delivering it.

Julian United Kingdom

The staff had taken appropriate precautions to make me feel comfortable with the Covid-19 rules in place, but still kept the hotel comfortable. I also really appreciated to be able to have my two cats stay with me in the hotel room.
