Good stay. The hotel was very well located, just a couple minutes from the railway station. And my room had an incredible view across the Sound of Sleat to the Isles of Eigg, Rum and Skye!! Cleanliness of the room and hotel were excellent and the room was in great condition. However, my top floor room was in a converted attic: while this provided the outstanding vistas, after a warm summer day the room was extremely hot at night with only a small window that opened partially (the roof tiles retaining the heat): I recommend the hotel to provide a fan in each top floor room. Breakfast was also too expensive at £17 and a simple, cheaper continental breakfast option would be a welcome addition - there are a number of cafes nearby to get breakfast at instead.

Parking was easy. Our room was small and a bit difficult as in the eves and my husband is tall. It was clean and though the bed was a very small double it was comfortable. Reception staff didn’t engage much.. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal in the restaurant and the staff there were very good and chatty.

We loved this hotel however, it was clearly understaffed at the restaurant. The wait was long and the servers were inexperienced. No drinks prior to our meals arriving. The food was good but the poor service put all into a bad mood. That being said, there is not a lot of choice in the small areas in the country so we considered ourselves lucky that we had a meal at all. Booking is a must.

The view of the room is excellent, facing the sea. We can watch the sunset from our room and recorded a hyperlapse video of the sunset which was magnificent. There was a problem with the shower: only hot water came out. The receptionist came up to address the problem. The plumber was called but could not come until the next day. He gave us the next room for shower, which is very nice of him.
The restaurant has good food and service, and the view is also excellent.
The building and furnishing are a little old. It will be nice to refurbish the building and rooms.
No elevators for upper floors.

Budget room is in the roof space there is no lift if needed. Tv reception is terrible and there is no noise insulation between the rooms. Shower is good but bathroom needs an upgrade . £34 for 2 breakfasts so we did not bother.

Beautiful suite and the hot tub was so appreciated after hiking in the highlands. Staff were friendly and dinner at the restaurant was incredible. We weren’t able to book dinner online, but they ensured we were able to attend in arrival. We had a wonderful stay. The view from the hot tub was gorgeous!

Unfortunately, our stay was curtailed by a family emergency. However, the staff were extremely helpful in helping us through the difficulties of having to leave at such short notice.

We will be returning to complete our holiday and will have no hesitation in rebooking here

The view from the hotel room was spectacular. However, there were some shortcuts in the room that were disappointing. There was a towel heating rack that was on but didn't work and a heater in the room with a melted control knob. This gave us cause for concern with electrical problems. The hotel restaurant also had horrible service, but great food as I have posted about previously. There was a bit of a wait for checkout due to traffic too and from the train station with many parties checking in or out at the same time. Mallaig is a great town off the beaten path, though.

Unassuming property on the hill overlooking the bay. Lovely bar and lounge area. Nice restaurant with tasty fresh food. Bar area comfortable and welcoming with games provided. Staff all very pleasant , welcoming and friendly. We were in third floor , no lift so not suitable if you can’t manage stairs. Looks like partially upgraded with communal areas and halls nice. We were in a cosy double which had a lovely sea aspect however the room decor could have done with a bit of improvement. Had been painted but the finer details were lacking and the seal of the window was taped over. Bathroom was modern but shower disappointing as poor flow. Other guests remarked to management about this aswell. Bed was a small double but comfortable.
We didn’t bother with breakfast as we thought quite expensive on top of a rather expensive room.
The best bits are the bar, lounge , restaurant and friendly staff. The lacking bit is room decor and shower.

The hotel has a great vibe and the staff are lovely. The views are incredible. The restaurant wad busy but the staff were great. Portions were generous and the food was good.
Our only real complaint was our room #31. I understand old hotels don’t have lifts, so it’s a long way up to the top floor with luggage. Our room had water damage around the windows. One of the windows was taped shut. New drywall wasn’t even patched. Stains on the wallpaper around the walls by the windows. A painting for the wall was in closet and wall plugs left dangling on the wall where it hung. When the wind picked up the window and possible exterior sheathing kept rattling. As we left we saw other rooms open that were being cleaned. They were in much better shape.
That room should have been repaired before being used.

We arrived here just before Storm Amy hit!!!

A nice easy uphill walk from the railway station.

We were a little early for check in and sat in the lounge/bar area to wait as the weather was rather inclement!!

Our room, which was on the second floor, overlooked the lovely harbour. It was nice and clean with fresh towels supplied. There were tea and coffee supplies in the room.
The shops were a short walking distance away.

When Storm Amy struck the whole area lost power…the staff were brilliant supplying us with battery powered lanterns.
A dish of delicious venison stew was available for an evening meal as the kitchen was affected by the power cut. Other guests were able to order sandwiches or salads.
The following morning there was still no power and a complimentary cold breakfast was provided. Hot water for coffee and teas were heated on the lounge wood burner and were available all day. The chef managed to make a wholesome soup and selection of sandwiches for lunch. In the evening a two course meal was also available….the staff were absolutely fantastic throughout this experience…cannot speak more highly of the service we received.
Thank you soooo much😀

We stayed in Scotland for 8 days and this property won \"worst hotel\" award for the week. It had the feel of a Motel 6 with super outdated furnishings and worn out carpet. The towels were dirty looking and worn out. The shower leaked when you used it and it was a room you wanted to keep you bare feet off of the carpet. The location was beautiful but I would not stay here again and would not encourage others to either. This property is in massive need of renovation and it was WAY TOO expensive for the money. We stayed in Double Tree Hotels for a 3rd of the money and got a way better value. Thumbs down on this one!

We really enjoyed the aesthetics of our room and the incredible view, as well as the proximity to shops and restaurants in town. We didn’t get the most restful sleep, though - the bed coils were noticeable (but supportive) and the walls are relatively thin so any noise from the halls or neighboring rooms was audible. The staff was attentive, but there was a shift in tone when we opted to get dinner and breakfast elsewhere (not at the hotel). We still had a nice stay and would recommend it to others.

Overall was good, the bed needed to be replaced as it was older, some cleaning issues but it’s an older hotel that was a bit dated, we didn’t really take points off for this as we expected it.

That said, Mallaig itself is wonderful, we loved it - the small fishing town made us want to move there, walkable and quaint - it reminded us of a place we lived on the west coast of Canada.

The food… wow. The restaurant right next to the hotel (also a pub and inn) was lively, we think the cook was drunk that day due to an engagement they were celebrating and locals in the bar sang a song that must have been in Gaelic as we understand it, but was awesome to be part of. Back to the cook, our food took a bit longer to come out that planned and we were a bit worried at first - until it came out. I had the seafood chowder and wife had Cullin Skink - the presentation and flavour of the chowder was amazing, all I can figure as to how it took longer is they went out to grab fresh mussels and scallops when we ordered as it was the best I have ever had (and we live on the west coast), and the Cullin Skink was thick chowdery and flavorful, all we could think of for days was this meal - we tried every pubs Cullin skink and were disappointed as none came close…

Mallaig, we will definitely be back - the highlight of our Scotland trip just happened to be the ferry port town we stayed the night before we went to Isle of Skye, such a gem.

Desperate Need of a Deep Clean and Renovation

The outdoor terrace is a wonderful place for to enjoy the sunset and there were musicians playing traditional music ~ just lovely.
The hotel itself, however, is in desperate need of a deep clean and full renovation. The carpets are filthy, the walls are filthy, and despite the temperatures being well above 20°C the heaters in the hallway were blasting out heat. The hotel was so incredibly stuffy and smells were emanating from its very carpets and walls, it was terrible - one floor stunk strongly of of onions, another floor of a combination of wet dog and dirty laundry. My sinuses were immediately stuffed up because of the dust.

The person at the front desk was kind enough to open my room window to air it out. However, in the evening, it seemed like the staff had their friends over visiting and they were running about and socializing with them.

Nice hotel but 4pm check-in is later than I’m used to and not really justifiable in my view. Shower was hopeless. Very little pressure and the only effective way to control temperature was to move it up and down the bar it was attached to. The temperature control itself did nothing.

Pricey given the above.

Excellent but over priced.

A comfortable hotel with very friendly staff. However, it did not come up to the standard expected from the price - no lift, small room, no shower gel or shampoo, and a bath mat the size of a flannel. For this price, the highest by far I have paid for 4 star hotels throughout this trip to Scotland, I expected a lot better. I would give it a 5 star review at about two thirds of the price.

The situation is excellent - great views over the sea. The restaurant and terrace share the same outlook. We booked a ‘cosy double’ room, aware it would be small but the sloping ceilings made moving around a challenge without bumping your head. Could these rooms be cheaper with an explanation that the cost reflects the space issues?Both receptionists were exceptionally helpful. Other staff also nice. All were fairly young and, at least in the restaurant, would have benefitted from some direction/ oversight by more experienced staff. The food experience was a bit mixed. Fish a bit overcooked, Caesar salad overwhelmed a bit by lots of fresh tarragon and rosemary, but chicken nicely cooked. Portions were very generous, a bit too much for some things. The chips were great but one bowl is more than enough for two people. We ate less than half of ours and every table was the same, causing so much waste. We waited a long time after finishing our main course without anyone coming back to clear the table or offer dessert menus. When we caught the attention of one of the staff, they promptly brought us the bill, without the chance to order dessert. Wine was a bit do it yourself - if bottle was a screw top, diners were left to open it themselves. If not, it was opened, put back in the cooler without being poured or a taste offered. Everything was clean and comfortable. Great to have bins for recyclables in the room. Overall good, but could be better with some attention to detail.
