Didn't stay here but were looking for food while we stayed at the local campsite. On this particular night, they were doing takeaway only which suited us fine. The burgers were amazing (I had the Ben More burger). The meat was juicy and full of flavour, the bacon was nice and thick, and the burger introduced me to Mull cheddar which rounded off the taste nicely. The gentleman (owner) was very pleasant and friendly and the food was ready and piping hot for the arranged pick up time.

Very nice, made us a breakfast even though we weren't staying there and we were after they'd stopped serving

The photos and description of this hotel bear little relation to reality. All must be from years ago. Tired, run down and overpriced. An insult to the hospitality businesses of Mull.

Just got home from 2 weeks in Scotland. We spent several days at this hotel and it was my favorite accommodation of the entire trip. The room was very comfortable and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and super helpful. They made us feel like family. And the food was WONDERFUL! I highly recommend staying here. 5 stars from me for sure. Ill definitely be returning to Scotland and to the Salen Hotel!
