Lime Tree Hotel

For anyone passing through Fort William, if you're looking for an interesting venue, drop in past here, see the exhibition, relax with a coffee in the lounge. They do food, and have a bar. Excellent accommodation too. I spent last evening there as part of the exhibiting group, and cannot remember when I enjoyed an evening more. They (lime tree staff) are amazingly attentive and helpful.

We popped into the Lime Tree Hotel for some drinks and had a fantastic experience! Although we weren’t staying overnight, we were warmly welcomed by a friendly member of staff named Eli, who made us feel right at home. Eli was an absolute pleasure to chat with—attentive, accommodating, and full of great recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was excellent. A wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a drink in Fort William—highly recommend!

Our room was very dusty as if it had not been occupied for several months. The furniture was cheap and had lots of scratch marks. The room was too small for the two twin beds. The rug and curtains did not match and were the poorest quality possible. The paintings by local artists was the only plus in the hotel. It seems the whole establishment has seem better days.

This accomodation was the most disappointing of our trip. The room was clean and well appointed but unfortunately the rude and dismissive attitude of the receptionist upon arrival got the stay off to a bad start. We didn't feel that this establishment offers value for money and is not properly represented by the advertising photos. The superior king room with loch view was a great disappointment. The road noise, creaking stairs and sound of people snoring next door meant that despite the comfortable bed we didn't have much sleep. The breakfast was included and we enjoyed it. We could deal with the noise and tired room but not being treated rudely by reception. Staff in the breakfast area were lovely and very polite but I wouldn't recommend this place. Very overpriced for what you get.

I regret to say that our experience bears no resemblance to previous reviews on this site. We stayed just over a week ago for one night in what we were led to believe was a deluxe room on the front. Walking into the hotel we were initially ignored by the miserable receptionist (there was nobody else waiting) and finally given our keys. The hotel sitting rooms had a stale musty odour which was extremely uninviting so we kept well away from them. On reaching our room on the first floor we were not impressed. I'm all for shabby chic but unfortunately this was just shabby. The badly painted purple walls needed repainting and the furniture had seen better days. The four poster bed I'm relieved to say was comfortable. The bathroom was awful - the toothpaste splatters from the previous occupant were all over the wall by the basin, the floor surface was split and obviously the floor underneath needed replacing, the shower was ok but the shower stall needed a coat of paint and the sealant was mouldy. We had booked the restaurant but decided to cancel and go into town to find a restaurant (Ben Nevis pub and restaurant is excellent) - too risky and we probably would have been the only diners. Breakfast was ok but the young lady who served us was not really attired in suitable clothing and dirty trainers don't cut it. I'm really sorry to be so negative but it was not an enjoyable stay which is such a shame as the pictures online look charming which it could be with a total refurbishment and some money spent on it. We were happy to leave.
