What guests think

At Ben Nevis Hotel & Leisure Club, travellers praise the handy location for Ben Nevis and the friendly staff, and many enjoy the pool and leisure facilities, but reviews repeatedly note a very dated property with uneven maintenance.

Frequent issues include unreliable hot water or heating, weak Wi-Fi, and the absence of elevators, which makes upper floors difficult with luggage. Rooms vary in comfort and size but are generally old-fashioned, with some traffic or corridor noise. Dining feedback is mixed: bar meals are often praised while breakfast quality and value fluctuate. Overall, it suits straightforward stays where function matters more than finish.

The hotel was OK it just too far from downtown and they give us room very far from the lobby and you have to carry your luggage through the stairs because they don’t have elevators. The hotel appears to be quite old.

The location is wonderful but this is a very old hotel. No elevators or porters so if you hace big bags and you are on a high floor then get ready to do come lifting. The staff are great and the food is good but limited in it's variety. The rooms are old and the bathrooms are basic and hot water is a 50/50. We had a family room which was a double and 2 singles but one bathroom so after the second person showered the last 2 had cold showers.

My stay was disappointing to say the least especially for the price I paid, I won't be returning. The only positive about the stay was the staff on reception. The hotel is extremely tired, dirty, rundown and lack of facilities. I had hoped breakfast would make up for the bad sleep but it was a very low standard, with hardly any services, dirty utensils and low quality products. I don't normally leave reviews but this was bad and feel it is important to share.

This was a stop off on a longer journey chosen for it's location. The staff are lovely and the rooms clean, however the walls are paper thin and because of the coach tours its very noisy at times. A bit far out of Fort William to walk in but it is doable if the weather allows. It's clean and practical for a one night stop. Decent buffet breakfast.

The hotel was like walking int the past, to get the television to work I had to rest the ariel box thing on top of my suitcase or we would just get static. The bathroom was clean at least the room was ok. There is no soundproofing so you can hear everything, the staff was loud at 7am talking outside of our window. After walking up Ben Nevis I thought we might be able to sleep but the beds are that uncomfortable it was impossible, I would have had better luck on a park bench.

A lot of noise from room above. Our room was very far from the reception we had to go through 7 doors to get to it! The hotel restaurant was very good and the room had a very nice view.

Hotel is sadly outdated with tired decor. Not worth £100+ per night. Room was disappointing small, hot and stuffy. Room radiator was set on full (too hot), thermostat had been removed preventing it from being turned down. Room faced overgrown disused railway sidings and any side glance toward a Mountain View was obscured by trees. Food, however, was exceptionally good. Accommodation barely 1 star, Food & friendly staff 5 stars.

We stayed for 1 night at the Ben Nevis Hotel. Our stay was very bad, the hotel pictures on Expedia dont match the hotel. Its very run down lack painting and looks old. The staff looked down on you, we sat in the lobby area and all the staff looked at us in a bad way and also to a family with kids they had a look of what are they going to break now. The room amenities were broken. The radiator was on and couldnt be turned off, the telephone didnt even have line,the curtains had tears and looked dirty, the walls had cracks and lacked painting. Ourroom was close to storeroom area and the staffkeptopening and closing the door slamming it every time for HOURS. We didn't felt comfortable in any way and weleft as early as we could. We couldnt change hotels but honestly we saw more hotels around the area that lookes way prettier than this.

Before we arrived we had repeatedly contacted the hotel in order to have rooms with connecting doors but they never responded. Upon arrival we were assigned to rooms on two separate floors and told nothing could be done about that. They told us the hotel was fully booked but it clearly wasn’t. One room smelled like someone had smoked there. The other room was just as old and outdated. The curtain and other things were broken. There was no aircon so we had to sleep with open windows and listen to the traffic noise all night. The people working there were not very friendly and service minded. The breakfast horrible and the showers for the full so hot the kids couldn’t shower. Maybe it was great 30 years ago but since then seemingly absolutely nothing has been done to keep it up to date.

Fort William is generally a very overpriced area during tourist season and it’s difficult to find accommodation in the centre, hence why I stayed here. I got charged £115 by Expedia, but rate suggested £88 at the hotel! Although comfortable, it was a little dated. It’s also about 25 minutes walk into the town centre, so not ideal if you’ve come up by public transport.

The building is pretty run down, it could be made nice with lots of tlc, but it is obvious the owning group have little interest in maintenance, a pity as it is in a good position. The food menu was pretty basic, but what there was was well presented, hats off to the staff. Internet was virtually non existent. There is quite a good local bus service into town, and a good choice of local taxis.

I also really liked the Coast to Coast beer that they had on tap.
