The food was hideous at breakfast and dinner- the room door didn’t lock and the decors was shabby. The staff largely appeared to be ‘over’ having guests and have not understood the meaning of hospitality

When we arrived early for check-in were greeted by a dour receptionist who informed us that our room was not ready. We didn’t expect it to be but she seemed somewhat indignant that we’re were early. We then asked to book for dinner which we were told was done but when we arrived for dinner at 7:00pm we were told we didn’t have a booking but they’d let us in anyway (to an almost empty dining room!!!). Service was truculent and the food was somewhat ordinary. We were then asked for a 10% tip!!! Needless to say we declined. All in all a very ordinary hotel experience.

Was ok. Not bad but not great.

We stayed as part of our NC500 tour. The parking was plentiful and was a nice touch to see specific motorbike parking. Check in was slow due to a coach party arriving just after us but we were made to wait. Room was small, beds were comfy but the walls were so thin we could hear everything on each room either side of us. Decent WiFi and decent pressure from the shower. Breakfast was an extra charge. Good coffee machine and plenty of choice to suit all diets.

Charming hotel in a quaint town

We stayed in The Caledonian, a delightful hotel in charming Ullapool. We got a room with a lovely bay window overlooking the town and harbour. The mini-bar was free, which was a very nice touch. Very clean and comfortable. Ullapool has good amenities for the tourist, quaint shops and cafes, a supermarket, a lovely bookshop. Lovely place to stay.

The hotel was clean and the staff were nice. But, the hotel itself and the rooms were like going back to the 80’s. Not at all what I expected considering the price. Nothing was bad but, at the same time nothing would make me want to return.

This property did the job. We needed a quick place to stay overnight before our Ferry to Lewis. The hotel was functional and well kept. It was simple and easy to get to the Ferry. The only thing that wasn't up to our standards was that our shower had incredibly low shower pressure. It was hard to get a good wash and rinse the soap off as the pressure was so light.

The breakfast buffet was exceptional! Many food selections, both hot and cold. The bistro also had amazing food. As for the room, the beds were very comfortable. We found the room cramped, with nowhere to lay luggage. The walls were thin... We could hear people talking and walking in their rooms. We had trouble with the toilet, which kept running, and for some reason this was preventing hot water from getting to the room?? We figured it out, but had terribly low water pressure in the shower. Overall the food was great and our room was so-so.
