This hotel lived up to its recommendation by the Scottish Tourist Board through whom we made our reservation. Easy to find, (just off the A82), warm, welcoming and clean throughout and a real family and friendly atmosphere. We dined out and only took breakfast in the hotel but it was very good, high quality of service and the hotel more... More

We stayed only one night at Hotel Caledonia and wished we could have stayed longer. We were on a tour and time was limited. The hotel was wonderful. The manager, Chris, was engaging. Our fellow patrons,especially at the bar, were delightful. The entire experience at the hotel was one of my favorite on my trip to Scotland.

We stayed one night at the Caledonian before heading home from our holiday. We wished we'd discovered it sooner and been able to stay longer. The welcome and the service was fantastic, the best we have experienced at any hotel anywhere, ever. I am not at all surprised to see the many well-deserved comments and compliments here. I would not... More

Very friendly, family run hotel. Excellent breakfast accompanied by lovely fresh white linen and shiny silverware. Room was of good size and very clean and tidy. Only fault was the bed of which the mattress was quite hard but the pillows were extremely soft - personal preference but we struggled to sleep, partly because of hall door banging any time... More

We initially booked “The Caley” for a single night. However because the hospitality was found to be truly wonderful and homely we ended up extending our stay for the 5 days left of our holiday! This small family run hotel is in an ideal location just a couple of minutes walk from the Loch Ness, where we had a fast... More

I know - it doesn't look much from the outside, but don't be fooled. The hotel is spotless, the service is personal and friendly, the position is perfect, and the food the drink tops the list of plus points in our opinion. It is honestly 5* food at 2* prices. Maybe internet access would be the only addition I would... More

This 3 star hotel excells at what it sets out to do. No spas, massages, pools or other expensive trimmings but good clean, well appointed accomodation. There is a large dinning room, a comfortable lounge and a bar which attracts outsiders. Prices are set at a very reasonable £40 B&B plus £22.50 for dinner but this is reduced dramatically to... More
