A truly special weekend spent in December in a delightful and perfectly located hotel. We will certainly be back one day

Professional, attractive, calm, perfectly located. Great staff, thank you everyone.

Nothing at all

4.0 / 10.0

Acceptable, as handy for the ferry, but needs more attention to detail.

Handy for the ferry and right in the centre of the town. Restaurant on-site.

Room very small and shower was poor. In the morning at breakfast three staff were hanging about , but little help with the buffet breakfast. The breakfast itself was poor quality and horror of horrors Porridge was instant pots that you added boiling water to. This is Scotland for goodness sake. Please don’t tell me buying in those pots is cheaper than making a pot of porridge.

Perfect old fashioned style hotel stop over for Stornoway ferry

Nice relaxed Highland hospitality. Loads of lounging space, option to dine or eat in Bistro- we arrived after 8pm, winter season, so missed dinner. Twin room had lovely comfy crisp beds. It was quiet, everything just as we liked it- clean, spacious, coffee/tea/hot choc all there. Plenty of storage for our clothes. Well ventilated. Free parking.

We couldn’t get a hot shower at night but we did in the morning. Single glazing wouldn’t be everyone’s idea of comfort but we liked the old fashioned feel, the windows could be opened and we were warm despite it being very cold out.

Great location and a friendly lovely hotel for a quick stay.

Lovely breakfast and a very nice room. However the thing that makes this hotel is its staff - they are very kind helpful and caring. This is probably the tenth time I have stayed here over the years.

I didnt realise I had to pay for the dog.

Good value, central hotel

Excellent situation, large room, spotless linen, staff friendly and welcoming. Very good value for the quality of room.

Toilet hadn’t been flushed on arrival! Flaking paint on bathroom ceiling (room 22). Later checkout very expensive but staff assured me it would be fine to spend the day in the hotel lounges, which it was.

Spend a little more and avoid the disappointment.

Location and free parking.

Beds were uncomfortable. I felt every spring. There was no mattress topper and the mattress protector and the sheet kept slipping off. They didn’t fit. Pillows were basic and uncomfortable. Other guests wandering around at 4am talking in the corridor. Paper thin walls. Restaurant service was very poor. Practically ignored when we asked for a table. Food at dinner was half decent but there are better places to eat. Spend a little more and avoid the disappointment.

9.0 / 10.0

A regular stop for us whenever we travel to the north-west, always a pleasure.

Good food, typical cooked breakfast buffet and the restaurant has a decent menu to choose from for dinner. If you dont fancy the restaurant menu there are a couple of good chip-shops close by. Our room had a well stocked mini-bar included in the price.

Great location

Great location and friendly staff.

The food at the hotel was very basic. More like a pre made and reheated style of food. Most of the menu was deep fried, al tasted slightly greasy. Breakfast was very average, dry and overcooked food. Little choice of healthy options.

comfortable, better than expected.

Hotel is improved after it's makeover. It used to be quite tacky and only worth staying in for the proximity to the ferry. The rooms are nice, beds comfy, restaurant pretty good, a little more expensive than average, basic menu.

beware - service is included in the restaurant bill

A hotel with character

The hotel location was excellent being in the heart of town. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a meal in the dining room which was good.

There wasn’t a lot of hot water when we had showers about 7.30am each day. We had rooms in the old original part of the hotel which were quite small and didn’t look what the picture of the rooms when we booked.

It was appropriate for what I required before getting the ferry to Stornaway

The Room was ideal and all the facilities I required were good.

The meal I ordered was barely warm. However when I made an observation about this an alternative was provided without any fuss. The broccoli was a bit raw . It needed a bit more cooking although I appreciate overcooking would have been worse!

I stay away for around 150 nights a year with work and this was my worst night this year. Disappoint

Tea facility's were ok

The size of the room. Bedroom area was smaller than the bathroom. I turned over in the middle of the night and hit my head on the shelf that was next to the bed. It was in a bad position and overhang the bed. Very bad. Corridor was noisy and there was a gap under my door so a noisey night of people walking past

Comfortable room in central location

Very comfortable & spacious room that had everything we needed. Great location, right next to the main street but still quiet. The coffee shop at the hotel was a highlight for us. The staff were really helpful & friendly too.

The room was a bit too warm, even with the window open all night. The shower is also quite a tight fit & there was nowhere to put toiletries, so it was quite an uncomfortable shower.

Decent hotel

Bathroom was nice and clean and the bed quite comfortable. Location is good in Ullapool, it's fine to stay if you're passing by but skip the restaurant.

The room itself didn't have any character and felt quite basic. Hotel breakfast was very bland. A bit pricy for the hotel standard.

7.0 / 10.0

The Hotel is a good consideration for an overnight stay for the ferry and the food is good.

The Caledonian hotel is a good stopover in readiness for the Ferry. Breakfast was extra but was reasonably priced and had a good selection and choice to cater for a variety of needs. We also had dinner at the hotel in the bar area and the food was good. The hotel allows dogs and this is a key positive.

The room size was small and limited and very hard to move when we had to facilitate even a small dog cage. We had made our booking in advance including the dog so were disappointed at the room allocated as it didn't suit our needs and asked for an alternative but were informed no other rooms were available.

OK pub in the the heart of town

All very nice

Dinner was expensive and the head waiter was not very welcoming at dinner. Ullapool is nothing marvellous

7.0 / 10.0

Comfortable, nicely presented room, but in serious need of some updating.

Location was good, nice bar and restaurant.

No lift.. I was on the second floor, in my sixties, and there was no offer to carry my suitcase up to my room. Also no phone in the room. Was told by receptionist that no lift/phone was due to it being a Listed Building… Really?? In addition the windows in my bedroom and bathroom were the old single glazed type, and rattled with the wind. Despite the modern look and feel to the room and bathroom, no lift, no phone, and single glazed windows is archaic in this day and age.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location of hotel and clever idea to only clean room if asked by way of ‘ok to clean’ room sign.

Large bedroom with a great view. Liked that you only got your room cleaned if you put the tag out. If not out then you were not bothered. The room type we had meant the mini bar items were all free.

Did not like that we were offered lorne sausage rather than link sausages for breakfast.

Charming old hotel. Room was basic but comfortable.

The room was small and basic but comfortable. Lots of parking behind the hotel. The location was central and easy walking distance to the harbour and restaurants nearby.

Old hotel so no elevator which meant you need to take the stairs to upper floors.

Would definitely return next time I’m in Ullapool

Lovely room with a view that felt fresh and bright and a great complimentary mini bar with the superior room - surprise extras are always good

Caledonian hotel, Ullapool

Clean, comfortable beds, well furnished. Looks recently re-done. Charging for electric cars in car park. Free WiFi

Suitable for one night stay but limited storage in room.

7.0 / 10.0

Staff great, though need to keep it professional when guests around. Evening food satisfactory, breakfast very good. Wel

Beautiful location. Has had an upgrade so in much better condition than last time I stayed. Very clean, nice staff, great vibe.

Poor mattress quality, badly made beds, you can hear noise from other rooms, however, it’s not a party hotel and everything settled down after 11.

3.0 / 10.0

Avoid, Avoid....London prices for small dirty dated rooms & staff who don't care.

Location & Gardens, although several mature trees had recently been cut down for no reason, we need our trees.

Expensive run down rooms for what could be mistaken as an old barrack block. Dated & smelly decor, dirty carpets, curtains hanging off, dirty bedding, no literature or leaflets left in the room, plastic glasses, small twin rooms, sunken beds, beds not correctly made-sheets either too small or 6 inches of mattress was meant to be showing! We paid £350 for a twin room for 2 nights for what is at most an £80 room. I left a verbal message with the receptionist on day 1, for the manager to contact me, that I wasn't happy with certain things & no contact was made, they don't care. I relayed all this again on leaving, on Day 3 with no attempt from them to put this right, not even an apology. Why would they, i paid when I booked, so they simply don't need to care. The location is convenient, but thats it, I would not recommend.
