“Canadians loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

Location, charm, great food, friendly helpful staff, clean basic rooms, wonderful views - High Street or Loch, you really couldn't ask for better value! Stayed two weeks, loved every minute - disco is fun ..... (if not for you, choose a Loch view - ). Owners couldn't be more accomodating. Great place for a base to see the country .... do you really want to feel like you're in a copy-cat plastic box at home? Then go to a chain and pay triple (or more).

Room Tip: Know what you want, ask to see it.

“What a friendly hotel, we'll certainly be back!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

We stayed 5 days and had the warmest, friendliest of welcomes. Our room was very basic but that's what we paid for and what we fully expected to get. It was comfortable and clean with fresh towels each day, shower was small but water lovely and hot - great after a day at Steall Falls! Breakfast buffet was good value for money with cooked breakfast to order; we didn't try the evening meal but the prices seemed very reasonable. We finished each night with a lovely chat and last drink at the bar/lounge with Alan! Having stayed at the Imperial and Alexandria hotels, Ossians is obviously no where near as luxurious - but then, it is central, comfortable and far less expensive - depends on what you want from your holiday. We'll go back and enjoy the hospitality of our Fort William friends again for sure - and have some change left over for lots of fun!!!

Room Tip: Ask for a loch view room when booking

“Good location and value for money”

Good location and good value for money.
Rooms are basic, decor rather dated, but sleep quality is good except disco nights, which are Friday and Saturday. Views from windows facing loch are spectacular. Convenient base for exploring town, the area and climbing Ben Nevis. Only downer is a very small hotel car park, which translates to a lack of hotel parking. You can , however, park at the public car park which is not too far and inexpensive.

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011

We stayed here for one night as there where not hostels with private rooms free. For the price we got more than expected. TV, tea and coffee, big room, comfey bed and the shower was alway hot!
Staff where friendly and breakfast was included!
Only thing was the decor was a bit dated, but we didn't come to Fort William to stay inside!
