A great budget hotel in the middle of town. Can't fault it unless you're looking for luxury! Our room didnt have a hair dryer but we made do without

Nice hotel, friendly staff, great location by the High Street. Not the best value for money though as it's pretty expensive (as most places in Fort William unfortunately)

Good budget hotel for a one night stay. My husband and I had a good night’s sleep in a clean room with good wifi, hot showers and plenty of space for the two of us to move around. no frills but coffee, tea and cereal are available in the spacious lounge area. Great value!

This hotel clearly states no thrills, so you don't expect much with the price. The man on reception was so helpful and friendly! The rooms are clean, view is amazing. Mattresses are so comfy, plenty of tea and coffee. Shower is lovely after our horrendous walk down the ben nevis. Fantastic location, and well impressed with this hotel!

The run-down bar that we had throughout our vacation! The rooms are clean, but the entire hotel smells musty and feels damp and cold. The beds are read through. Breakfast consists of coffee, tea and various types of cereal. We paid £110 for the night and it's definitely not worth it! The city center location is great, but there is a lot of noise at night.

One of the cheapest hotels in town, nice central location, clean rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Beds were very comfy and there are USB's in the wall, which helps with charging. There was even a fridge, microwave and sink in the rooms. They don't do breakfast, but there's free tea/coffee and cereal, plus you can bring your own breakfast into the common area and eat it there. Parking was a bit of an issue, but there's a paid short stay car park down the road. Recommend for budget travellers.

One night for repairs. But no more is needed. The hotel is old, the single glazing allows the main road to be heard and the cold wind to pass through. The shower is barely hot. But the bedding is nevertheless comfortable. No breakfast but some cereals and hot water. Only if you don't find anything else there!

Great value for budget, cozy. I stayed here in early April 2023. We planned a group trip of 7 uni students through Scotland, and Ossian's had everything we needed. Since there was no hostel in town, we booked a 3-bed and a 4-bed room. It was off-season the place was almost empty. Ossian's has friendly staff, a great location (able to walk to train station and shopping nearby), cozy rooms, coffee and tea, and it fit our budget. We couldn't have asked for better. While it is a bit dated, the hotel was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The man at reception was incredibly hospitable, and he helped us plan our hike. He's a great storyteller too! Overall, I would recommend this hotel for budget/medium budget travelers, and I would gladly return!

when you are in very touristic places you know that the service will never be worth the money. but this place is really bad, especially for the attitude of the staff. for the rest it is very dusty, not very clean and without parking. you have to go a long way with the suitcases.

I stayed at Ossian's Hotel with my girlfriend for two nights and we thought it was great. The receptionist gave us lots of tips on where to hike in the region and he even lent us his private hiking book for the region for the time. The rooms weren't fancy, but they were clean and just as we imagined based on the photos. Our room faced the street, but we were able to sleep well. The location is very central. I would come back at any time.

The reviews are a little harsh for this hotel, which is certainly simple and a little old-fashioned (which is part of its charm!). It could use some renovations, that being said it was very clean and the beds were comfortable. At least it's affordable accommodation in a tourist area of Scotland (quite rare in the end). The common room for having a coffee in the morning is pleasant! Hotel in its original state but really nice!

The toilet was disgusting, literally lifted the lid and it was covered in s-stains. The shower is in the middle of the ceiling like in a camper van so the shower curtain pulls across in front of the toilet, but when not in use hangs right next to the bowl. So the yellow stains along the bottom edge were not a mystery. The welcome sheet says we only do housekeeping every 3 days, but ask if you need more. This was my first night, so obviously even empty rooms get left for the third day. After 10pm there is no one on duty and reception is closed so I'd advise checking everything when you arrive . Next morning I put the shower on and it was cold. Myabe it will turn on from some central location after 7am, I thought, but no. 730am no. Still freezing. The sink has luke warm water but it was hot last night so you realise you better just have a wash before that ends up cold too. Stiĺl no one on duty, and the car park starts need ing a ticket at 8am it says in your welcome laminate, so now you have to leave before 8am, which is when staff come on duty. Presumably. The car park is 830am as it turns out. The laminate says you are paying for room only, but after 8am the room with some tea and coffee and cereal is available, so I guess that is when staff come on duty. You already need to leave because the laminate made you head for car park to put a ticket on your car. It does say you can buy a ticket the night before and not get up early, but you think you will have hot shower and head to work before 8am and it wont be worth bothering. The walls are thin and my room looked out onto the town centre street, so it was noisy. The rooms are very dated. The beds were comfy and clean but after the state of the bathroom you kind of lie there and worry.

Its a modest hotel, so you can't expect extremely high standards for the rooms. That said, the service was absolutely excelent. They helped us with everything, gave us advice for hikes etc. They even went all the way out to send us some clothes and boots we forgot in the room. From Scotland to Spain. Can't thank them enough. Right in the heart of Fort William, you can walk anywhere from the hotel. If you are looking for a cheaper option, with incredible service I definitely recommend it!!

Ossians is in a great location - literally the centre of the high street. The place is old and tired, which is fine by me, its just a place to rest our heads ar night. However the worst part was the the smell in our room. It smelt of cats urine, with a really strong smell of ammonia. We eventually realised it was coming from the bathroom so kept the door shut unless using it. There was no ventilation in the bathroom, so it was very difficult to get towels dry. The room itself had mold and damp problems, and it was noisy at night being on the highsteet. I'd say if you have options to go elsewhere do, if not it's fine if you get a room that doesn't smell! It was clean and beds comfortable.

Couldn't have been a better location for our trip to Fort William. Right in the centre of town close to bars and restaurants. We had a warm welcome from the reception and plenty of knowledge and recommendations on where to go on an evening. As stated by Ossians themselves, the room is basic and serves a simple purpose. The cooking facilities were ideal and meant we could opt to eat in. The only real poor thing was the shower, it was not much more than a dribble falling from the ceiling and meant that I'd actually skip using it and opt for a basin wash instead which was a shame. Bottom line is don't expect a Premier Inn and you'll be just fine! I'd be back to Ossians any time.

Would NEVER stay here again. Room was so basic..and for £95 would have expected more . ( we paid £95 the following night further along on our trip and it was complete luxury ). The shower was from the 70's . Room very dull and dingy . Bed wasn't very comfy. And for 'breakfast ' all you are offered is tea and cereals ! We left the room by 8am and waited for Wetherspoons across the road to open at 9 ! Should have realised how awful was going to be when everywhere else was booked up for that night.. but plenty of rooms free at Ossians. Only gave 1 star as no option for 0 stars !!

My partner and I made a big mistake booking it for a wrong date and 99% hotel was booked out for the night except the most expensive one in the town but the hostess was extremely kind and generous to bless us with a roof over our head and a bed for us to sleep and rest. I would never forget her kind gesture, it's inspiring and makes the trip more beautiful. Because it's not just the place but the people are as beautiful as the town is.

I enjoyed my stay in this small hotel. Room came in a good size, with microwave, fridge and water boiler (with coffee and tea). The bed was really cosy! There is a small bathroom, which brings me to the reason why I give 4 stars only. The shower… the showerhead comes out of the ceiling and there is absolutely no pressure. I have thin hair, but it took me minutes to get them wet. Anyway, I would stay there again. Staff is really nice and helpful.

Felt like I was staying at the Cecil Hotel, horrible to find - entrance is up a small ancient lift, very outdated and very thin walls I feel it deserves 2 stars as the one staff member we met on the overnight was nice and the rooms were pretty clean the area around the hotel doesn't help with the atmosphere either. Also very overpriced for what it was. Wouldn't recommend when there is a Premier Inn 5 minutes away.

Where do I start from? - Location is actually central and everything you need is close by - carpet is clearly taken from a horror film set. It would probably benefit from a replacement or at least a hoovering. - en suite toilet doesn't have a sink, the sink is located in the room. - noise isolation is so bad you will hear every single person on the high street - the bed is the worst I have slept in. Got a bad back pain after a single night. Now if the price was 50-60 pounds I probably could have stomached all this, but 95 pounds is definitely too much. Avoid if you can.

I would just like to say ignore all the negative reviews on here . First the staff are mint , friendly and jovial and for the first time in my life anywhere and I’ve stayed all over ,I stayed in a had a few drinks at their(?) bar . 8am they offer coffee and cereal , they don’t have to but they do .they gave me a guide of what to do in the area too , and on my last day there they let me keep my luggage there after checkout until it was ready to go , not many places do that The rooms aren’t 5star but they do have a website people and pictures outside , they are what they are , they are clean and I personally found nothing wrong with anything it’s just a bit mish mash and not uniform but that’s probably me being a bit OCD I slept better in their bed than I have at my own at home and I had a great view over the loch to wake up to. I’m popping back up in a few weeks and I’ll definitely be staying there again hopefully if they let me back in 😂 And I would personally like to thank the evening staff for being cool 😎 keep up the good work peeps x

Personally we found no redeeming characteristics at this 'hotel' The interior was extremely outdated, seemly not changed since the '90s. The carpet has not been cleaned in at least a decade, just a strong musk & dust smell that if you have asthma I would strongly avoid this place. The bed is old, loud and has long lost any support it once had, my back was shot after one night. If you are looking for a good nights sleep before attempting Ben Nevis, this is not the place. The bathroom is basic to fit the theme, a freestanding shower cubicle that resembles being in a washing machine, water pressure was surprisingly good though. The toilet is ok, but no proper toilet paper just squares of single ply out of a dispenser, sets the mood for your stay. There is little to no sound proofing in the room, normally not an issue but because you are on the high street you will hear every drunk person coming out of the pub. The location is pretty good, located in the center of town close to some nice places to eat and close enough to the car park. The staff were very pleasant when we arrived and they definitely pull the weight for the hotel stay. Overall... Avoid!! But if you was a cheap hostel stay, and don't care about comfort, smell, sleep, cleanliness and toilet paper...then sure. But your parked car might be a better sleep.

Experienced in 2018. Because of rainy weather there was connection problems and our phone couldnt reach to anyone at the beginning of the Ben Nevis about 6 Pm. Then we try to call the hotel. We were lucky to see that our call is going ok but the reception diddnt take the call. We found a way to go to the hotel somehow. Then next morning I asked why there is a reception if no one is answering the phone to a lady who sits at the reception. She gave me a respond with a bad attitude. There is an insufficient breakfast and really bad beds in the room. The room also wasnt clean either.

Not sure why I need to give one star because I couldn't find one positive aspect of that shoebox of a room, even if searched my brain for weeks. The room was the same as it probably was 30 years ago, just not as new as then. Everything is grubby and I was tempted to use my sleeping bag in the bed, which had screeching metal springs and made a lot of noise every time I turned. The bathroom was a joke, with no hangers for the towels or actually any place for anything. I know that 50 quid is inexpensive, but that doesn't justify the condition of the place. Ah, just found my star: the view through the smeared window was quite nice.

Good only for a kiss and ride Just three places for free parking Old and dirty. The building looks decadent. Good position and price. If you dare...

Pernottamento decisamente poco piacevole, arredamento vecchio e usurato. Bagno solo con vasca. Posizione centrale. Non consiglio

Stayed one night in a twin room as I was climbing Ben Nevis the next morning. For a budget hotel, I thought it was very good. The solo staff member was very polite and accessible until 2am, the hotel and rooms were all very run-down but clean, hygienic & more amenities than expected were provided (hand & bath towels, bath mats, shower gel, etc.). Would definitely recommend for a budget one- or two-night stay, though probably not any more than that! Lost one star as it was more expensive than it should've been, in my opinion.

Hotel demasiado básico, mi cuarto tenía una inclinación el suelo bestial como si estuviéramos en cuesta, todo muy viejo y la cama te clavas todo. Si es solo para pasar la noche está bien.

Only star for location, the rest is shameful. Find elsewhere in Fort William, do yourself a favour. The provided pictures are misleading

Franchement pour 50£ la petite chambre quoi demander de plus ??? Ici on respecte la nature et pour tous les bobos venus en rando pour le Ben Nevis et voir les paysages magnifiques de Harry Porter il y a pas assez de chambres. Tant pis !!! mieux vaut ça que des immeubles partout !!! arrêtez de vous plaindre !

Arredamento antiquato, pulizia discutibile. Letti comodi, ottima vista, posizione centrale

Stayed here for 2 nights with a group of other hill walkers to tackle Ben Nevis. Decor is very outdated. The place was borderline dirty. Carpets are old and smelly. Dirty in part. We paid 88 pounds per person for 2 nights which in hindsight is very expensive for what you get. In one of the rooms, there was no shower which was very disappointing and actually very annoying. Pros -Very good central location in Fort William -Free breakfast which we didn't avail of -Working TV in each room -Beds fairly comfortable -Staff fairly pleasant -Free car parking Cons -No shower in my room. The shower in the other room was old, lacking power and very difficult to get warm water -Windows very difficult to close -Very old lounge who sold drinks but actually didnt sell a pint of beer when one of my party wanted one Overall, disappointing for the price. If they lowered their prices it might be a better offering. I dont think I would stay here again based on my personal experience and the experience of others in my party

Musty, old smelling hotel which is more like a hostel. Lots of road noise if you open the windows, which you will need to during the summer time as there's no air conditioning. Not worth the money they charge. That said, the location is hard to beat and the rooms seem clean with no bedbugs. No parking was available for our stay but the nearby public lots are cheap and allow free overnight parking.

Booked a meal deal a month ago. Day before arrival got e mail asking if we wanted to upgrade to a meal deal. Arrived to a big electronic display showing restaurant and meal deal. Told at reception no evening meals available we could have a refund. Very poor. Nearest alternative Morrisons cafe (which had practically nothing on the menue or McDonalds. Ruined our stay .

Roads End Cafe is a lifesaver at this time of the year, we were on the NC500 and fancied a bite to eat when we got to John o Groats. It is such a basic cafe but still serves hot toasties/sandwiches, soup and small cakes/scones. The lady that served us was lovely, so welcoming and willing to go the extra mile, she even recommended the haggis and cheese toastie which I couldn't turn down. Since it was so quiet, it was takeaway only but she let us sit in due to the gale force winds outside. I have to say the toasties are the best I have had in a while and not even that expensive despite the location, absolutely fantastic. It is a little gem if you're looking for something eat when you reach the most northernly point in Scotland!

Bon et pas excessif. Il y a une assez jolie vue si le parking n est pas trop plein. Et le personnel est très sympathique. On a prix deux plats deux boissons et deux desserts pour 53 livres

The staff in the cafe were helpful and friendly, service was quick and coffee was perfect, I am only visiting Inverness but if I was local i would be a regular here.
