Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really enjoyed the aesthetics of our room and the incredible view, as well as the proximity to shops and restaurants in town. We didn’t get the most restful sleep, though - the bed coils were noticeable (but supportive) and the walls are relatively thin so any noise from the halls or neighboring rooms was audible. The staff was attentive, but there was a shift in tone when we opted to get dinner and breakfast elsewhere (not at the hotel). We still had a nice stay and would recommend it to others.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in Scotland for 8 days and this property won "worst hotel" award for the week. It had the feel of a Motel 6 with super outdated furnishings and worn out carpet. The towels were dirty looking and worn out. The shower leaked when you used it and it was a room you wanted to keep you bare feet off of the carpet. The location was beautiful but I would not stay here again and would not encourage others to either. This property is in massive need of renovation and it was WAY TOO expensive for the money. We stayed in Double Tree Hotels for a 3rd of the money and got a way better value. Thumbs down on this one!

Wir haben 1 Nacht im Hotel verbracht. Die Unterkunft war okay, aber für den Preis viel zu klein. Die Lobby ist sehr, das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück war okay, für den Preis hätten wir allerdings mehr erwartet. Der Blick vom Frühstücksraum war schön. Bitte beachten, dass es keinen Aufzug gibt.

Wonderful Mallaig stay

We had a one night stay en route to Eigg. We were amazed at how good our stay was it was.fantastic value. Extremely comfortable bed with all facilities clean and good quality, great shower, unsurpassable views from our bedroom windows! Bar and restaurant service and food were excellent, although it was an incredibly busy night in the restaurant, the staff were so hard working and attentive. Thank you.

Spotlessly clean hotel and nice well stocked bar. Room was very hot - we are experiencing a heat wave so perhaps closing blinds prior to guest check in would be helpful esp in second floor. Towel rail on full and radiator in corridor added to the heat. An uncomfortable night
