AVOID ROOM 301 whose bathroom and bedroom reeked of sewage, at least on 15th September. A complaint was answered by "It can't ... someone stayed there last night". Bedroom walls paper thin. In all respects this is the worst 'hotel' I have yet experienced.

One of the worse nights we had yesterday.
Mattress spring keeps moving and making noise the whole night. Two old unfriendly women were at the reception. No Service at all compares to others hotels. The window was broken; the whole night cold wind came through the window.

I would just like to say ignore all the negative reviews on here . First the staff are mint , friendly and jovial and for the first time in my life anywhere and Ive stayed all over ,I stayed in a had a few drinks at their(?) bar .
8am they offer coffee and cereal , they dont have to but they do .they gave me a guide of what to do in the area too , and on my last day there they let me keep my luggage there after checkout until it was ready to go , not many places do that
The rooms arent 5star but they do have a website people and pictures outside , they are what they are , they are clean

Experienced in 2018. Because of rainy weather there was connection problems and our phone couldnt reach to anyone at the beginning of the Ben Nevis about 6 Pm. Then we try to call the hotel. We were lucky to see that our call is going ok but the reception diddnt take the call. We found a way to go to the hotel somehow. Then next morning I asked why there is a reception if no one is answering the phone to a lady who sits at the reception. She gave me a respond with a bad attitude. There is an insufficient breakfast and really bad beds in the room. The room also wasnt clean either.
