Guests appreciate the convenient proximity to shops, bars, restaurants and local attractions. The friendly staff, cozy and clean rooms and lovely atmosphere contribute to a highly rated overall experience.

The breakfast at the West Highland Hotel receives mixed reviews. Many guests praised the variety and presentation of the buffet breakfast, particularly the continental offerings such as fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals and smoked salmon, enjoyed in a room with spectacular views. On the downside, issues like occasionally cold or unappealing cooked food and the perceived high cost of £16 per person were noted by some guests.

Dinner at the hotel received many positive remarks for its excellent food, particularly seafood platters and steaks and the attentive service. Nevertheless, the restaurant's availability was an issue due to closures from staff shortages or seasonal operations. Some guests found the limited dinner menu disappointing, although nearby alternatives were appreciated.

Regarding the rooms, guests had mixed impressions. Positive reviews highlighted the clean, comfortable and well-appointed rooms with fantastic sea views. Some rooms featured modern, newly refurbished decor and spacious suites. However, criticisms were directed at the small size of some rooms, outdated furnishings, uneven floors and poor insulation. Inadequate soundproofing and missing basic amenities like hair dryers were also mentioned.

Cleanliness at the West Highland Hotel is generally commended with many guests noting spotless rooms and well-maintained public areas. Positive feedback emphasized the clean and welcoming environment, though there were occasional reports of stale linens and lapses in room servicing.

The hotel’s staff stands out for their friendliness and efficiency. Reviews consistently praised the welcoming and helpful nature of the team with special mentions of the front desk staff and managers. Although a few isolated comments mentioned busyness affecting service, overall, the staff significantly contributed to a positive guest experience.

Opinions on the hotel’s free wifi were mixed with some guests finding it fast and others encountering difficulties. Improvements in the reliability and speed of the wifi service would be beneficial.

Parking at the hotel is generally praised for its convenience and ample free spaces both behind and in front of the building. However, some guests noted that the car park could feel cramped and poorly marked.

Family-friendliness at the West Highland Hotel garnered mixed reviews. While the family rooms were praised for size and cleanliness, the hotel could benefit from more comprehensive family-oriented facilities. Staff support for specific needs was highlighted positively.

Guest opinions on the beds were varied with many finding them comfortable but some noting issues with bed size and firmness. There were also concerns about sagging mattresses and the need for bedding replacements.

As a three-star establishment, the hotel offers a classic, cozy ambiance with standard accommodations and services, albeit some parts require renovation. The decor is noted as tired and the amenities outdated, indicating a need for updates to meet modern expectations.

Lastly, the hotel is highly regarded for being dog-friendly with guests appreciating the welcoming attitude towards their pets and the convenient walking opportunities nearby.

In summary, the West Highland Hotel offers a picturesque and convenient location with friendly staff, good cleanliness and decent amenities. However, it could benefit from improvements in breakfast offerings, room updates, wifi reliability and family-friendliness to enhance the overall guest experience.
