The bath contained a live cockroach-like insect and another unidentified mini-organism with tentacles. The sink had 2 hot taps - both could produce only cold water. The view through the misted double glazing was of a back yard and tumbledown corrugated iron shed. The room furniture was run-down and tacky. The walls had nail-holes and an unoccupied picture hook, as... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Marine Hotel. We were dubious initially as we realised there was no website and only managed to get information on the hotel via the road to the isles website where it looked very dated. Having stayed previously at the west highland hotel and not enjoyed our stay (due to the rooms being very... more

The Marine Hotel was really our last choice of where to stay in Mallaig going by the website pictures but everywhere else was fully booked up or not open when we were going so we literally had no choice. The location was great - I was there with my grandparents just for the train journey there & back & the... more

We stayed just one night at the Marine hotel, and found it to be dated & a little shabby, HOWEVER, this didn't spoil the stay at all. The lady at reception was frindly and helpful, the room was clean, towels, toiletries all there. Tv (4 channels), Shower, bath (carpet in bathroom) & a ketle. If you need a place to... more

No wakeup service, we were told to use the provided alarm clock whose alarm was not working (kept ringing every 10 minutes). When we reserved we were told that dinner was available, but the restaurant is closed. Breakfast is available only... more

In making the booking online, I noticed that my emails were not returned by the lovely Mrs. Ironside with whom I had dealt in years prior. And on... more

I travel in Scotland quite extensively and this is certainly the worst hotel I have stayed in. The staff were unwelcoming and glum and the service was painfully slow. There wasn't a friendly face in sight! The room smelt damp and there was no soap or shampoo provided in the en-suite bathroom.Towels had holes in them -big ones! No remote... more

Horrible hotel, unfriendly staff, shocking dinner menu, dirty rooms. Lovely location but much nicer places to stay within Mallaig. more
