We didn't choose to stay here, this hotel was booked for us by our tour company. The lobby and reception area have been renovated and are very nicely done, unfortunately, the renovations haven't been extended into the guest room part of this hotel. The trek to our room was up several flights of stairs and down countless corridors - when... More

Stayed for three nights; very conveniently placed for touring area and town centre (short walk), with beautiful views over Loch Linnhe. Attentive and obliging staff; very good breakfasts (hot plates and as much toast and tea/coffee as desired). Having previously read tripadvisor reviews concerning questionable soundproofing, on arrival, I requested a room change to the top floor. Quickly accommodated with... More

I'm sorry that the hotel has issues with soundproofing as apart from that I enjoyed my stay. Obviously the hotel has been renovated, new carpet in my room. The room was fresh and very clean. Extra pillows and blankets if required. Staff seemed attentive and friendly. Unfortunately you could hear what was going on in the room above and through... More

Breakfast in the morning was good but a member of staff didn't inform someone within our group of how hot the plates were and the guest burnt their hand. The member of staff in question then preceeded to laugh and was seen visually laughing about it with the other waiting staff. ( Member of staff has dyed orange hair). Was... More

Stayed recently at the Cruachan, nice modern reception bar area. Dining room fine but a bit souless. Quite a trek to my room wandering through a few corriders, up and down stairs as no lift. there is a side back door that avoids some of this but you have to know its there. Room was basic hotel layout and equipment... More

It is a calm hotel, at the time we visited seemed not that occupied, and the view from our room was amazing, looking at that loch :). The breakfast was also nice. The staff was helpful to us regarding what can we do in Fort William for one afternoon and one morning. The bedroom was clean, however a little bit... More

The hotel has just been refurbished and the public rooms are a well done understated modern. The staff were friendly and attentive. The rooms were spotless. We'd definately visit again.

We stayed at the Cruachan Hotel from Friday 13th April to Monday 16th April. The hotel downstairs was clean and modern however, once you reached the first floor it was obviously dated. The rooms were clean but were small (room 133) the bed was a double and although I am not big my husband is and had difficulty fitting his... More
