The lovely lady who greeted me and was extremely helpful
Unfortunately another building across the road alarm went off about 4 times from 9pm and disturbed my settling down to sleep and woke me up in early hours.

Absolutely lovely stay in Fort Augustus. The location is extremely convenient, the staff were very kind and welcoming, the beds were comfortable, and the water was plenty hot. Everything you want after a long day of travel. (And while there, be sure to stop into Iceberg Glass next door!)
A few helpful tips for future guests:
Parking:
Parking is located to the right of the back patio of the Chinese restaurant. You will turn onto Canal Side, then turn again immediately, right before the Bothy Bar. That lot is for the hotel.
Getting to the hotel:
You access the hotel by walking up the stairs and through the Chinese restaurant. It feels strange at first, but it works perfectly. The bartender or waiter will happily point you in the right direction and guide you around to the hotel entrance.
If you are arriving or leaving outside of restaurant hours, you will need to walk around the block to reach the parking lot. It is not a far walk at all and very manageable.
Side note: the Chinese restaurant is excellent. It is a great perk to be able to walk downstairs and grab a well-deserved dinner, especially after nearly 30 hours of travel.
The rooms are basic but have everything you need. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but it is well set up and fully functional. Overall, a very comfortable and pleasant stay and I would absolutely recommend it.
TV didn't work. We weren't in the room much, so didn't attempt to problem solve or ask the hotel for assistance.

Very clean and right off of the Great Glen trail and also right down town, close to restaurants and pubs.
It was perfect

Beautiful room, excellent shower, plenty of bedding, great towels! Easy parking just around the corner. Right next to Chinese restaurant.
Bed was really hard for me. I know all beds are usually firm, but the double bed was very uncomfortable.

Although we both arrived later than expected from our day trip to the Isle of Skye, the staff were very pleasant and helpful in getting us settled into our room. The waiter from the restaurant carried our suitcases up the stairs for, which we were very grateful 🙏. The room was spacious with more than adequate bathroom facilities. The bed was very comfortable.
We dined in the Motel restaurant, being served a very sumptuous and tasty Chinese meal. It was one of the best we've ever had.
Car parking was a shsred area with another business, and getting into the motel was a bit tricky from it, having to go through the restaurant or out to the main road. Overall, we managed to make it happen.

I liked the area of Fort
Augustus
The shower room/toilet was dirty. The walls of the stairway leading up to the room was filthy. There was no bedside cabinet/shelf at one side of the double bed. Staff were not welcoming, produced a card machine and handed me a key for room 1 at the top of the stairs. ( no other conversation.) Parking was at the back of the chinese restaurant, hotel guests had to enter via the front door, which involved walking around the buildings & area next door to the restaurant.

Breakfast not included which might have been nice but plenty of options nearby for getting breakfast. Liked having the Chinese restaurant open for an evening meal which was delicious!
Particularly helpful to be able to book in early and secure our kayaks in the car park. Appreciated the accomodation on this
Small point but the bathroom was not very private in that a sliding door that didn't really shut properly and no shelves or anywhere to put stuff in the bathroom
9.0 / 10.0
Great location next to the locks with shops, restaurants and bars for a nice evening out.
ample parking at the back of the hotel/restaurant. Restaurant has special dietary requirements, hotel has spacious rooms although bathrooms a little cramped, but working well. Surprise was the little fridge which worked very well

Comfortable, clean, well-equipped, close to the lake.
4.0 / 10.0
Very little apart from the location
Shabby and hardly worthy of being called a Hotel.
Staff took a long time to answer - obviously busy in their Chinese restaurant which we could smell all the time it was open. I could put 3 pound coins in the "fire door"frame - photo 1
Office, where we booked in was under the stairs. The car park behind, meant hauling luggage around a few blocks or through the restaurant!. Cannot stop outside the hotel. The window view was a scruffy rooftop.
Bathroom,
had an old blocked off on to the and soundproofing was non existent.

Clean bed, nice view of the canal, fast internet, smart TV
Dirty shower. Shower bath combo which personally I'm not a fan of. The shower was quite low and rather weak. Cobwebs. General grime and dust.
Wasn't really a hotel just a room/s above a restaurant/takeaway.

Great location, friendly staff, room seems like it was recently updated.
6.0 / 10.0
The location is great and there is also parking at the rear. It is right next to the canal and local amenities.
No breakfast included for the ÂŁ115 paid which is disappointing. There is also a Chinese restaurant downstairs, which the smell was getting to me after a while. The smell can't really be helped though. The room could also have been cleaner.
I only stayed at the hotel due to it's location. I would stay again though.

The bed was ok
On suit was too small especially the sink, TV could not receive any channels and both hdmi ports blocked with screws so you couldn't even plug your computer or any other device into it. The pictures showed a hotel bar and sitting area but this had been turned into a Chinese restaurant. Due to this change it was impossible to get a breakfast and advised I could get a sandwich from the ice cream shop.

Interesting accommodation. Was given the two bed room out the back up the stairs. By all accounts maybe quieter than inside rooms, but some noise from beer garden as you're out the back. Room was clean. Fantastic location and restaurant in nearby hotel was great. Comfortable bed.
But not really like the photos although it is the hardfloor photos in the pics. much more basic. Tv broken. Bathroom old and tired. Fairly pricey for what it was.
