Lovely views, very clean, pleasantly decorated, very close to train station
United States of AmericaRoom dated but comfortable. Service was very good. We arrived late and checked out early.
United States of Americaexcellent location, nice little room with great view over Eigg and Rhum; v friendly and helpful receptionist
United KingdomWe were upgrade to the "King Suite" as the shower of the room we had booked was apparently not working. The suite was very spacious and the bed was comfy. Very close to the train station.
SwitzerlandI had a sweet small gabled room with a lovely view of the sea over rooftops. The lady who checked me in and let me know many details over the evening was exceptionally friendly and lovely. I was travelling alone before meeting my daughter and her family, and I was made to feel very comfortable. The terrace restaurant serves excellent food, wine and cocktails, again with a beautiful view. It's really handy for the railway station, less than five minutes' walk. Also less than 5 minutes' walk to the Skye and small isles ferries at the harbour. Several food and pub options nearby, but the hotel restaurant is wonderful, so no need!
CanadaFiona the manager went out of her way to be welcoming and warm.
United States of AmericaRoom booked was a 'cosey room'. It was bigger than I expected. It had a double bed and ample room to get around. The terrace out front was a nice place to relax, with great views across to Skye, particularly special at sunset
United KingdomDespite the problems of having the work going on to refurbish the fire damage, our stay was not compromised in any way. The hotel is well placed for all amenities as well as the ferry ⛴.
United KingdomI asked to change rooms (just because I wanted a bit lighter room) and was accommodated with no fuss. The staff here are exceptional and views amazing. Beautiful old hotel - a real pleasure to be there.
United KingdomFrom the pictures on the website I had lower expectations, on arrival the Hotel far exceeded my expectations, I thought I'd booked somewhere that would be functional and near the ferry port so wasn't too bothered about the hotel as it would just be for one night. My expectations were quite wrong, the hotel had a lovely bar and an extremely nice restaurant attached. The staff were friendly and helpful on arrival, the inside of the hotel was finished to a high standard as were the rooms. Probably one of the nicest hotels on our trip. The Rooms were modern, spacious and very comfortable. The bathrooms equally well appointed with a modern shower and all very clean. I was very impressed with the Hotel and would have no hesitation to recommend it.

The “Road to the Isles” ends at the harbor of Mallaig, with ferries to the Hebrides leaving from this remote and peaceful part of Scotland.
Overlooking the village, this hotel offers rooms with attached bathroom with Freeview TVs. All rooms from Classic upwards rooms boast views of the harbor and islands beyond.
With ample free parking, guests can discover the rugged and unspoiled coastline towards Skye to the south, and there are many hiking routes straight from Mallaig around the neighboring Lochs Morar and Nevis.
A 5-hour direct train journey through some of Scotland’s most picturesque landscapes joins Mallaig to Glasgow.
Our Terrace has now been transformed into a cozy lounge (with breath-taking panoramic views) in which we serve cold local platters, light bites, cakes and scones. For guests that would like a larger meal there are a variety of restaurants within a short walking distance of the hotel.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
