The unique prison cell-themed design of the hotel adds a fun twist to the overall experience while creating a charming atmosphere.
The parking situation was limited and could become quite congested, making it challenging to find a spot during peak times.

Extremely friendly and excellent staff, it was really good stay.
Excellent service, though a few employees were unprofessional. The location was perfect and magnificent, for example, West Highland Museum was at a medium distance from the hotel. Moreover, the area was pretty comfortable.

The quirky design of the hotel is a fun twist that gives it character, and I appreciated the complimentary hot drinks available.
Room sizes felt cramped, limiting comfort for a solo traveler, and the ground floor location hindered ventilation due to a window that couldn't be opened safely. There was also confusion finding the reception area, tucked away in a breakfast room, not immediately visible upon entry. Noise disturbances were an issue, particularly from other guests, and the mattress was hard, contributing to less-than-ideal sleep quality. Parking was limited and disorganized, with cars often parked badly due to unclear markings.

The unique twin room offered a cozy atmosphere with clean amenities, and I appreciated the comfortable bed. The room felt a bit small, and I encountered a noisy environment that affected my sleep. It's a quirky place that's great for short stays.

The staff were heaps friendly and the breakfast was lovely, but the room felt pretty cramped, especially the bathroom setup. I'd thought I'd have more space.

Couple looking for uniqueness
The conversion of this place from a police station is very nice , original features everywhere and gave it character. Enjoyed the breakfast, great variety and the hot options really hit the spot after a long walk.
It wasn't exactly a bargain , but acceptable.

Loved how unique the room was, especially with the toilet and sink right there. The private shower across the hall was a real treat after conquering Ben Nevis! Unwinding in the cozy lounge and enjoying breakfast was the perfect way to start the day. The only downside was that the room felt a bit snug, but it didn't overshadow the fun experience. 😊

The original decor really stood out! The restaurant served the best butter chicken curry I've had in a long time.
It wasn't exactly a bargain, but overall acceptable.
