“Very Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Alexandra Hotel has a great location in the centre of town across the road from the train station and in walking distance of Fort William's main street. We rode the Jacobite Steam Train when we were there and the location of the hotel couldn't have been more convenient. The staff didn't seem to be that welcoming and our room was on the third floor ...... the one lift couldn't cope with everyone wanting to use it because one person with a suitcase filled it. The room was okay but one of the drawers were broken and the place really looked as if it need refurbished. The breakfast was a buffet and the hot food seemed to be swimming in fat as it lay on display. The cold selection of cereals etc was okay which made up a bit for the poor hot buffet. The waiting staff seemed to be very busy but we waited ages for our toast and coffee to be served. The public rooms were a bit tired and the atmosphere was anything but inspiring. The Alexandra is okay and its functional for those who have to stay in the town of Fort William, but I don't think we'll be going back

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

The Alexandra Hotel in Fort William is perfectly situated in this highland town ,and is comfortable and friendly,serves lovely meals and has beautiful views of mountains and sea .The bedrooms are well presented and clean,with nice toiletries and every comfort provided .An accordianist entertained on one evening and great fun was had by all,including a party of students who learned some new Scottish dancing skills!!The tariff for this hotel is reasonable and is very good value for money all round .

Room Tip: Ask for a front or side facing room to view both the mountains and the sea .

“Worst Hotel in Scotland”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS. The room was absolutely filthy, dirty bedding, carpet hadn't been hoovered in a long time, carpet didn't even go up to skirting boards. Bathroom was to be avoided at all costs. Kids on a school trip running amock in the corridors until early hours. We checked out early, losing our payment but couldn't stay there another second. Disgusting!

“Lochaber autumn break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is an old hotel with a long history. It has been well maintained and is located very centrally for all year round activities. There is ample parking around the hotel at this time of year but I suspect it could be tight in peak season.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the staff are pleasant and helpful especially Sarah who is the wine waiter and manages the bar.
Quality of food is good and service prompt.
Very good value for money
