We had a short stay at the hotel. The room was adequate and comfortable and met our needs. We were on the 2nd floor so had a view of the water. Shower was great always a good thing. Breakfast and dinner were okay, a variety was available at both. Staff were helpful when we needed them. Nice place for a basic stay.

This is a good budget hotel in a tourism town. It is old and worn, but it is kept clean. The single room was small (no room to open a regular sized suitcase), the bed was decently comfortable, and the shower had lots of pressure and hot water. The highlight of the Caledonian is the beautiful view of Loch Linnhe and the very ample breakfast with lots of hot and cold options. Note that the hotel is outside of Fort William, so it is not walkable (unless you like long walks).

The staff was very friendly but the hotel need’s refurbishing. Our room smelled of mold or must. Linoleum peeling up in bathroom, carpet stained, fixtures outdated. Breakfast was good. View was lovely but would not stay again due to mold smell.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, the only thing that let it down was the cold coffee on two off our days there. By the third day we went without.
