“Great Comfort and Welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Second visit to this hotel in 4 months. Here on business and found hotel staff to be friendly and helpful. I arrived early and reception went out of way moving rooms around to allocate room early for me. Also I left before Breakfast and they organised me a lovely packed lunch. Location is perfect, less than 5 minutes walk to the Bus and Train Station. Meals were very nice and good choice. Wifi was advertised as available in all public rooms but I found I had a reasonable connection on the second floor. Bedroom was very nicely set out and a good size. Bottles of water in the room were a nice touch. I booked direct with the Hotel on this occasion and got a good rate for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast.

“Appears to be run solely for profit, not for the comfort of guests”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

Our experiences of a stay in September 2011.
I really didn't have the time to spend putting comments on here until now but I feel I must warn others what this hotel was like.
During our 10 day touring visit to Scotland, in hotels, shops, cafes, filling stations / garages we only encountered extremely helpful staff wherever we went, except here !

The whole accommodation area had a fusty smell. The landing / passage carpet was worn through. I never managed to see any of the other rooms but our room 225 was something from the 1970s. The enamel on the vanity basin had worn through to the base material. The cleaners were doing an excellent job in keeping this dated establishment looking presentable.
I got the impression this hotel is only a money making factory for directors at head office who rarely visit the place.

The good point,,,, the food at both the evening meal & breakfast was excellent

Room Tip: Try elsewhere first

“Booked one night, stayed three..!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

person found this review helpful

After a long days travelling up from North Devon, we stopped off in Fort William and we're pointed in the direction of The Alexandra, by the Tourist Information office. We booked in for one night, and loved it so much we ended up staying another two nights....

Check in was a doddle, With friendly, smilling receptionist's.
The Room was large, extremely clean and very, very comfortable.
We left DND sign on the door when we went out, and we're impressed with the efforts that Housekeeping had mad to ensure we had everything we needed by leaving clean towel's, tea's; coffee's and other bits and bobs out side our door.
Breakfast was Excellent, with enough varity to satisfy everyone.
Dinner in the evenings was incredible value fo rmoney, and of a very high standard, and could be served to your room for a small charge which was worth it after a long day's walk in the beautiful Glen Nevis, and a few wee drams in the bar. The Bar staff we're Fantastic!!!

Thank you to Donna, Fiona, Sarah, Nikki and Lisa for making our holiday that little bit more special!!! Hope to see you all again soon!!!

Room Tip: When we book again we'll be requesting room 231.

“Excellent Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Booked a last minute single room and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. Lovely large room with very comfortable double bed. Plenty of space , Large clean bathroom , Lots of tea , coffee and chocolate making facilities. Breakfast was first class. Lovely fresh grapefruit and nicely cooked full breakfast.
Would definately recommend this hotel excellent location and far cheaply than a lot of ordinary B&B in the local area.
Added bonus was able to connect to WiFi in room although also available in the lounge areas.

Room Tip: For single person ask for room 233 although at back of hotel no view but very quite.
