Pros:

Stayed for a night on our way to Skye so can't comment on skiing/MTN biking but appeared like it would be very good acesss. Very comfortable, warm and useful having a bar and food available on site. Would be nice if the restaurant food had some more veg with the meals but that's being picky. Would stay here again.

Pros:

Clean and modern but very basic. Great for either a stopover en route to Skye or just to explore fort William or Glencoe. WiFi and phone signal extremely poor but has improved over the years. Could do with thinking about guests a little more, had to go down and ask for extra pillows (only one each on double bed) and then found in the morning no hair dryer in room. This is the second visit to have these issues so clearly not listening to guests advice otherwise can’t fault it

Pros:

Not as advertised. Room was filthy and disgusting. Someone had clearly previously vomited on the floor and it was barely cleaned up. There was mold all over the shower and the furniture was falling apart. I’m pretty sure we also slept on a cot, not a mattress.

Pros:

The staff here were friendly and helpful, but unfortunately the room itself was unacceptable. The bed frame is smaller than the mattress, did not support the mattress fully — about a quarter of it was hanging off with no support. This made sleeping very uncomfortable, and resulted in serious safety concern.

Pros:

Basic accommodation but this isn’t really somewhere you’d spend more than 1 night. The room was ‘surface’ clean but not spotless. The room type we had was a ‘double’ bed but it is a small double. Also - whilst there is a TV; there are no channels and you need to cast from your personal device to the screen to watch any thing.
Hotel guests have a discount off the Gondola price which was a nice bonus

Pros:

The Base Camp hotel is exactly what I'm looking for as a hiker. Easy to find, lots of parking, prime spot for outdoor activities yet close to the city. Simple room with all typical amenities and no clutter. Simplified check-in, no nonsense. Ability to open the window and get some efficient cooling on our August stay.

Pros:

They put us in a room without an enclosed shower, so after every shower we had to dry the bathroom floor, which got completely wet. By the end of the third day, we had a pile of dirty, wet towels. Also, the bathroom had no outlets, so I had to dry my hair in the bedroom, but there was no mirror there to help — the only mirror was in the bathroom.

Pros:

The 'family' room looked more like barracks or a youth hostel. Two bunks alongside the wall and a double bed at the end. One large bathroom for the large shower and toilet. A photo of the room was not advertised. Only standard rooms were photographed. The room itself was very expensive so my expectations were high. It was very hot in summer and the midges didn't help matters when no net curtain was provided.

If you have activities at base camp then you have good reason to stay here, if you are just passing through I cannot recommend this accommodation purely from a bad value standpoint.

Could be better
Pros:

The mattress is too firm, no air-conditioning, there is a small fan which is not enough and very noisy. We got two rooms for disabled persons, with very low sinks. There is almost no furnitures in the rooms.
