Ossians, a no frills, economy hotel
right in the centre of the town of Fort William.
ABOUT US
All our rooms are en-suite, with TV, tea tray and wi-fi.
Our residents lounge has a licensed bar, comfy sofas, games and books. We also have free tea and coffee and a friendly person to ask about your day.
Since we are only a 5 minute walk from the train and bus stations, and 2 minutes from the end of the West Highland Way, why travel any further for your room?
We have over 20 restaurants, 8 bars, and a variety of shops in the High Street, as well as The West Highland Museum, Geo Park, library and indoor climbing wall. Perhaps you should book and extra night.
Whether you are taking a trip on the Jacobite steam train (aka the Harry Potter Train), climbing Ben Nevis, walking one of the many long distance trails, or just relaxing and enjoying the scenery, this is an ideal base for all of these.
This is a town centre location, with pubs and entertainment close by, so please be aware that this is not a quiet location. If, however, you are looking for a night out, then no better place to be.
We do NOT accept bookings for stag or hen nights.
Well behaved pets are welcome, but please let us know in advance so we allocate the correct room. Not all our rooms are available for pets. There is a £10 charge per pet, per stay.
Cancellation policy. You may cancel free of charge up to the day before arrival. Late cancellation, or if you just don’t show up, then we will charge your card for the full rate of the first night of the booking.
Latest check in time is 22.30., but please let us know if you are arriving at this time. Reception closes at 22.30.
Officially, check in is 15.00, but if you arrive earlier, (perhaps by train, or walking the way) then just come in.
If your room is ready, great - we’ll check you right in. If not, we can keep your bags here and let you go and enjoy your visit here.
Check out time is 11am.
Sorry, but we don’t do a cooked breakfast here. There are several places on the High Street which do.
Parking. We are in the middle of a town, and our private parking is very restricted. Sorry, but this can not be booked, first there gets the space. There are several public car parks, all within a 5 minute walk radius of us. 2 are long stay car parks, where you can leave your car for a few days if you wish. The closest ones are short stay during the day, with free parking from 6pm until 8am.

The double rooms have 1 double bed, for 1 or 2 people.
The Twin room has 2 single beds, for 1 or 2 people.
