"Perpetually understaffed. Seems to be an ongoing issue based on other reviews. One staff member running the restaurant and reception so you have to hunt them down to check in and then hope you can get a table. And then it's an extremely long wait to get any service. During my stay I witnessed other customers clearing tables to help the rushed and visibly stressed member of staff"

"Beautiful view of the harbour located near the main road into town and very near Castle Dunollie,The rooms were clean and modern with vaulted celings and very comfortable beds however the elevator was abit clostrophobic, i would also encourage any Management reading to adjust the door tensioners so they close properly behind the guests and maybe look at the window fixings but break fast was great, haggis included and all staff friendly and hospitable, the parking was abit tight but found public car park close by next to very friendly small pub with live music which stayed open late,in all a lovely old building in a great location with friendly staff,thank you for your service "

"We had a lovely stay at this hotel - the staff were all incredibly friendly and very welcoming to us and our dog. We ate once in the hotel for dinner and the curry was delicious, we also ate from the food van outside on our arrival day and the burgers hit the spot. We had an absolutely spectacular view from our room of the loch and surrounding mountains, the seating area in front of the windows was a nice touch as we enjoyed having our coffee here each morning. The hotel is a great base for exploring the surrounding areas of Glencoe and Fort William, however I would only recommend if you have a car (free parking is also a nice touch). I will say the only downside was while the rooms appeared clean, we found rubbish in the drawers and previous guests dirty socks.. this being said, I can appreciate this was a minor oversight, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

"Located in a great spot! "

"Overall, we had a good stay at The Garrison and most aspects of the hotel were positive. The location is excellent for exploring Fort William, and the main facilities were clean and well presented. Apart from parking, everything else met expectations and the staff were generally helpful. However, there were a few downsides. The single sofa bed was very uncomfortable and not suitable for a good night’s sleep. Also, there was ongoing construction work which started quite early around 8am — this was a bit disruptive, especially if you had the window open as some dust could come into the room. Another small inconvenience was the access to reception. Having to go through multiple doors made it feel less straightforward than it should be, especially when arriving with luggage. Overall, a decent stay with a few areas that could be improved to make the experience much better."

"We had a really enjoyable stay at Base Camp Nevis and would definitely recommend it. The location is fantastic, especially if you’re exploring Fort William and the surrounding Highlands. It’s perfectly placed for visiting Ben Nevis and nearby attractions, while still feeling peaceful and relaxed. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It had everything we needed for a short stay, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and easygoing. One of the highlights was how convenient it was for starting our daily trips — whether heading to Glenfinnan, Skye, or just enjoying the local scenery. It made our travel plans very smooth. Overall, a great base for exploring the Highlands. Good value, great location, and a pleasant stay 👍"

"Breakfast was good. The room was small. We rented the tiny room. TV remote did not work. TV was very small."
