Great hotel, a base for travelling to the small isles.
Pros:

Lovely location. Amazing views. Train stops outside the hotel for easy travel and I didnt hear it. Solo traveller. Well stocked tea & coffee facilities.

Good location for Malaig ferrys but very expensive for what you get and dont take cash for anything.
Pros:

Good view from my room.
Good location for catching a ferry from Malaig
Good to have on site carpark

Cons:

Very expensive for what we got.
The room wasn't very big.
The en suite was tiny, blocked basin waste,
Food was expensive.
Owners didn't take cash for rooms, food or drink.
I did NC500 over 8 days and this was the most expensive hotel we used with very average to poor value for money compared to others we stayed at but not alot of choice when catching early morning ferries to Isle of skye,

Zadbany stary hotel ale troche za drogi..
Pros:

Hotel blisko przystani promowej w Mallaig, dobry na jeden nocleg w podróży. Z plusów: czystość, pomocna obsługa, wygodne łóżka, dobra kolacja.

Cons:

Nie mam nic przeciwko starym hotelom ale w tej cenie oczekiwałbym lepszego standardu. Śniadanie smaczne ale bardzo ograniczone - szkocji bufet albo jogurt z płatkami - brakowało mi świeżych warzyw i owoców, serów itp. Drugi raz nie dopłaciłbym 15GBP za sniadanie, a zjadłbym w jakies kawiarni po drodze.

Sitio bonito cercano a playas y ferry
Pros:

Su ubicación y cercanía al ferry. Un restaurante con muy buena comida. En la habitación tenían una tetera con la que podías hacer té por la mañana.

Cons:

Debería tener la posibilidad de un desayuno más temprano para poder tomarlo e ir al primer ferry

Rent och enkelt rum som dock inte var prisvärt
Pros:

Det var rent

Cons:

Om vi hade kompletterat med frukost (vilket ingick i alla andra boenden på vår resa genom Skottland) hade detta blivit det dyraste hotellet för oss på över 300 pund. Det var det inte värt. Det tog lång tid för varmvattnet att rena till. Rummet hade ett fönster och bara den övre delen gick att öppna vilket gjorde rummet till obehagligt varmt.

A lot of potential but could do better
Pros:

The view is stunning; perched up on a hillside with amazing views. The place has a lot of potential!

Cons:

Sadly the potential is not met with adequate interiors. There were a lot of maintenance issues (malfunctioning light bulbs), the room was very basically decorated, and the mattress was extremely low quality.
