Budget hotel where staff are friendly and helpful. If you don’t expect too much then this is a great stop over.
Pros:

Simple for the purpose of a stop over before climbing Ben Nevis.

Cons:

The feedback read had been very poor. As a result expectations were exceeded.

Besser sein als Schein
Pros:

Liegt super und ich würde trotzdem noch einmal hinfahren .

Cons:

Von außen eher ein Gefängnis, von innen etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Kein erkennbarer Stil und eigentlich nur wenig ansprechend. Aber zwei Restaurants und eine tolle Bar- sogar italienisches Bier vom Fass

Great location, needs a little love
Pros:

Staff were wonderful and super helpful. It’s a great location. Very easy to get too. Breakfast was amazing.

Cons:

The main areas are great and beautiful…but the rooms are very dated. We felt very awkward walking around the room because the floors creaked so bad. Bathrooms have all the modern features but could have been cleaner (hair on shower walls)

Pros:

Colazione ok

Cons:

Da ristrutturare. Stanze datate, vasca scrostata, moquette sporca, rapporto qualità-prezzo non adeguato. E non avevamo neanche la vista mare.
