On aurait préféré s’en passer…
Pros:

Restaurant - repas agréable et relativement abordable.
Localisation - proche du ferry.

Cons:

L’hôtel est très vieillot, il est sale, peu entretenu et presque lugubre dans les couloirs.

Les chambres sont pires… Elles sont sales (moquettes tachées, murs tachés, draps tachés…). La literie est médiocre. Et la porte laisse passer la lumière du couloir.

Le prix est hallucinant compte tenu des prestations. On voit qu’ils sont bien au courant que leur position près du ferry leur permet de ne faire aucun effort pour attirer des clients. C’est honteux

Für eine Nacht in Ordnung
Pros:

Das Frühstück wurde als Büffet angeboten. Es war einfach, aber völlig ausreichend und lecker. Der Ausblick vom Zimmer auf das Meer ist wirklich schön. Das Personal ist sehr nett.

Cons:

Direkt unter dem Fenster konnten die Gäste sitzen, trinken und rauchen. Man konnte daher aufgrund der Lautstärke und des Rauches nicht das Fenster zum Lüften öffnen.
Das Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und bedarf einer Renovierung.

Disappointing stay
Pros:

The only good thing about this "hotel" is the location

Cons:

It's an old hotel that needs lots of work done, that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but the cleaning standards are very low. The family room was small, the mattress was too soft, the lighting was terrible, with only one small window (that hasn't been cleaned in years!). The carpet was disgusting. I felt very disappointed by the whole thing and most say that it's also overpriced, taking advantage of the limited options in the area.

if you go Mallaig ferry in the morning this is your choice for the night
Pros:

The top quality of this location is its proximity to the Mallaig Ferry. The structure is very old but the investment for renovation is perceivable, Staff was very helpful,

Cons:

We knew it before we booked. This hotel as old as it is does not have lift to upper floors. We obtained a room allocated on first floor , and managed to overcome the problem. we find the cost of this hotel a bit too high in general. The room, for three people, was small and without view, contributing to the above impression.
