Great location
The restaurant service was excellent! The property is a little worse for the wear and was chilly. Bed mattress a little thin although bedding was nice. Mostly it was overpriced.

While some of the reviews we read rated this place charming, I would tell you to run the other way. You can surely do better even if you have to drive further. If I am able to post photos I will do so. You will see the mold and dry rot in the molding at the base of the shower. The shower enclosure itself seemed clean but the floor was horrid. The fuzz all over the exhaust fan that has not been cleaned in who knows how long. The dirty carpet. The pull cord to turn on the lights in the bathroom. The sink with separate hot and cold taps and the drain that must be exactly balanced or the sink won’t drain. No tissues in the room. No shampoo. No conditioner. There was a barely enough amount of body wash. One hand towel and one small body towel each. No hair dryer. If you want one you must go to reception to borrow one. No elevator, so fair warning, you will be dragging your suitcase up a curved staircase with narrow stairs. The staff was cordial and efficient. We slept fairly well, so the two twin beds were comfortable . Breakfast offered a full Scottish, cereals, yogurt, toast, coffee or tea. We ate dinner there and the mussels were very good, served with one dry piece of bread. The second night my husband asked for an additional piece of bread. He was served 4 slices, for which we were charged £4! So be careful in how you order. I would not stay here again even if it was free and could not wait to leave.

I love this Hotel. The staff were amazing. Paul and Nick were especially welcoming and reassuring and provided great assistance and ensured our stay was wonderful. I highly recommend this establishment for one or several nights stay. Room accommodations were clean and comfortable. There was a lovely welcome gift in the room as well as tea and coffee and cookies. Breakfast was both buffet and cooked to order every morning. The lounge areas were cozy and comfortable. Rooms had lovely views of the Loch as did the Dining room. Bar area was welcoming and well stocked. I don’t have enough words to express how much we enjoyed our stay at Loch Leven Hotel. Thank you !!

Charming and quiet. A delightful property with beautiful views of Loch Leven. Such a nice retreat that includes a restaurant with delicious entrees and a bar and distillery with exceptional gin. My only regret is not spending more time there.

The room was a bit outdated but the restaurant and bar were nice and the staff were friendly. The location is good, but not much else around it until you reach Fort William.

What a place! Loved it. We had a ground floor room with a private deck. Gorgeous view of the mountains and Loch. Gardens beautiful. Amazing restaurant and pub. We had fabulous food. Loved how we didn’t have to drive out to eat. Breakfast was also good, although we are not fans of the full Scottish breakfast so we ordered eggs and toast which was no problem. We hiked lost valley, neptunes staircase, and walked around Ballachulish. This area is an incredibly beautiful area of Scotland. If you are looking to stay in the Glen Coe area I highly recommend this hotel. Even though the address is Fort William it’s much closer to Glencoe and all the hiking.

Terrible
Very overpriced. Very disappointed. Shabby and run down. Stained very worn carpets, patched up and peeling wall paper. What looked like a good sized bed was 2 singles put together. Old mattress and lumpy old pillows. Basic bathroom. Outdoor area not kept well and overgrown. Absolutely no views at all. The one good bit was a well cooked evening meal and female server. Breakfast poor very limited choice. Think the owners had checked out!

For 2 people we got the room 15 which is so tiny that the couldn’t barely put our 2 suitcases on the floor and there was no place to put the towels at all. This hotel is flare and need rejuvanating!

This is a very tired hotel at a very nice location. How they got 3 1/2 stars is a complete mystery to me (linoleum floor in the bathroom rolling up, mattresses which should have been replaced a long time ago, all furniture and carpets dingy and worn out). I still cannot believe we paid what we paid for that room. To end with some positive comments, their little bar area has a nice atmosphere and the staff was very friendly.
