When we arrived in Fort William after wild camping on the Western Isles, tired and laden with backpacks and muddy boots, desperate for somewhere to stay in Fort William. We drove round in circles, being turned away from every hotel we tried, except one. Out of the corner of my eye, I just caught the sign as my boyfriend drove... More

My family and I arrived in Fort William with nowhere to stay and so we were relieved to discover that there was availability at Ossian's at the bargain price of £22.00 each. The man at reception told us that there would be a busy and noisy disco going on that evening but realising that we were all very tired, he... More

Shocking!! Terrible, the manager should be sacked. On arrival our room stank, on investigation we realised the toilet had not only not been cleaned but not even flushed. There was excrement in the bowl that (judging by the smell) had been there for days. The doorman told my friend to f**k off and they were the good points!! Never again!!!

OK, you get what you pay for, and I was prepared to make allowances for decor and facilities, but is a thorough cleaning of the room too much to ask? The sink was in poor shape. On the last day we discovered some very nasty and unhygenic marks on a toilet roll holder - we had missed them but so... More

The hotel (if it is possible to call it that way) is very cheap and on the main road of Fort William, directly in the center of the city. The place is disgusting, with dirty linen, bad smell, very old and ugly toilet facilities and washbasin in the room, over the moquette (you can imagine how hygienic that can be!)... More

I stayed in Ossian's for 2 nights in July 2012. We pretty much used it as a base for exploring the area. The room was worth the £22 per night I paid. It was basic (what do you want for £22?) The beds were comfy, the room was clean. The lady that checked us in was friendly without being over... More

We arrived in Fort Willam on the last day of walking the WHW and Ossians was just fine for us. The room was huge and the shower was warm which is all we needed. IOn a sat night the nightclub opens up on the floor below the bedrooms so be prepared for noise - we were told about this when... More

Look, you get what you pay for. This place is cheap, beds are clean. But, Ossians desperately needs some investment. Carpets in the bathroom? Come on. Also, due to the fact that the water in the shower leaks behind the tiles i assume they have a severe wet rot problem. Thing is, if they spent a bit a money modernising... More

Location, charm, great food, friendly helpful staff, clean basic rooms, wonderful views - High Street or Loch, you really couldn't ask for better value! Stayed two weeks, loved every minute - disco is fun ..... (if not for you, choose a Loch view - ). Owners couldn't be more accomodating. Great place for a base to see the country ....... More
