“Wonderful place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We love this hotel!
It may be old, it may be slightly tired but it has great charm and character.
The location is great, we again had the tower room which looks out onto the harbour and mountains and loch beyond.
It may not be posh and fancy but your up in the north of Scotland remember, location, location, location.
It is very clean, loads of hot water and helpful, friendly staff and food more than adequate.
Remember the star rating they have and the money you pay - to my mind they deserve more of both.
We are devestated they will be closed this year between Christmas and New Year otherwise we would have already rebooked.
Well done Caledonian Hotel!

“Better late then never”

A brief, belated review.

We stayed here in March 2011 on a cheap long weekend break via the owners, Oxford Hotels.

The hotel is rather shabby and needs upgrading but the food did not compare with the rest of the hotels characteristics. The restaurant was smart and the food good.

Evening entertainment was provided by local musicians. It was OK.

“Great value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011 via mobile

Clearly the hotel needs a good renovation, but the rooms were clean, good beds / bathroom, location is perfect, friendly staff, good breakfast, so overall good value for money...

“Quite simply excellent value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

We stayed for 2 nights in November and really enjoyed our visit. We paid £52 per night for a double room which overlooked the sea and included a full cooked breakfast for 2 - incredible value for money. The room was basic but comfortable and warm, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great. What can you possibly complain about for that kind of money?

I find it difficult to comprehend people that whinge about stupid little things like the bath seal round the shower when they're paying less than budget prices. If you want top quality accomodation and service go and book into a 5 star hotel and pay £300+ per night.

I'd happily stay in the Caledonian again.

“Accommodation for the Ullapool Guitar Festival”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

people found this review helpful

My Wife and I booked a 3 night stay with breakfast & evening meal in October via an internet site for the festival. Excellent value for money for a comfortable room. The full english breakfast & 3-course dinner were very good indeed. The service was excellent, managing to serve our dinner promptly when we requested an early start for the concerts.
The hotel is centrally located in Ullapool. We have previously stayed here & will undoubtfully use this hotel again.
