Alexandra Hotel

We booked the hotel as it stated close to the railway, so we’re very surprised to find the hotel just across the road from the station when we arrived. The staff seemed friendly, especially Inga the duty manager. The hotel is clean and the room amenities good, though a little small. The hotel seems mainly to cater for coach or organised trips. The breakfast was ok, but would advise if you want a good Scottish breakfast to walk into Fort William. The hotel is right on the town outskirts, so everything is close by. Though neat and tidy, the hotel is just a bit tired, and could probably do with a bit of TLC. Though when you are just using it as a base, if I was coming back up to Fort William by train, I would book the Alexandra again

Great location near train station, bus station, and High Street with shops and nice eating places - although traffic was a little noisy if the window was open. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Beds were firm but comfortable. Rooms very clean. Breakfast buffet was hot and plentiful, although breakfast was ended by 9.30 and the continental options were limited when we stayed. Nice touches such as the book swap area in the lounge, and the comfy chairs in the Reception area.

We liked the hotel close proximity to Fort William town centre and train station because we were there to travel on the Jacobite train to Mallaig. There are various restaurants in the town serving locally caught sea food at reasonable prices. The hotel was very clean generally, our room was in the original building and looked out over well kept gardens to Loch Linnhe. The bedding and en-suite bathroom were spotless! The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful as were the breakfast staff.

I stayed in room 212 and it was spotless. Size of the room was very decent. The window opened a couple of inches for fresh air. Window did not face the road and so i experienced no sound of cars. I had everything i needed for a comfortable stay. TV, tea facilities (receptionists are always warm and helpful and gave me extra milk, teas and sugars when I asked). The corridors are a nice cosy temperature and did not smell. Zero chance of feeling cold as the room had a working radiator which worked on the maximum setting and an additional portable heater inside the cupboard just in case. Hotel is located centrally, and is literally across the street from the train station and morrisons supermarket as well as a few mins from the high street. My bathroom had a show/bath combo and the shower was powerful and was able to stay consistently hot. Nice clean towels and I liked that there is a nice big sink with a very large mirror in the bedroom opposite the bed which meant I didn't have to go to the bathroom every time I needed to use the tap. Bed was also comfortable and the pillows were the best I've ever laid my head on (like sleeping on lovely puffy marshmellows, which moulded around my neck and shoulders perfectly). The room is presently as basic, but it's very cosy and felt homely to me which I really liked. Rceptionists were just lovely and kind. No mold anywhere and the bathroom was exceptionally clean. I really liked the late check in and checkout, great for checking in after my long walks and a long lazy lie in the day after. Definitely staying here again!

The staff members that I met were especially accommodating!! They arranged a packed lunch when I mentioned that I couldn't enjoy the breakfast that was included in my reservation. When I needed a place to rest between adventures, they welcomed me to sit in their parlor. Location is especially convenient to the train station!!
