Good location and friendly staff around the hotel.
Pros:

Location was good and car park was free and right by the hotel.
Staff on Reception, in the Caley Inn and breakfast staff were all friendly and helpful.
Food was good, rooms clean and tidy.

Cons:

Rooms are quite basic and need updating. Lots of marks on the floor and walls.
Bed was not very comfortable and probably needed a new mattress. Housekeeping did a good job of making the rooms look as clean as possible and tidy.

Pros:

Very well positioned in the middle of Ullapool close to the harbour. Good sized car park at the back. Lots of food options nearby therefore cannot comment on food at the hotel itself.

Cons:

Very over priced for the room and facilities that were provided. Had a 'hostel' style feel and decor which was not in keeping with the high price.
