Base Camp Hotel Nevis Range

Great location, lots of parking and room was spacious with a great shower

Okay for a short stay, cold atmosphere, huming noise in family room number 1, in number 4 less loud but still there all night, no walking trails starting there only bike trails

It’s a ski lodge and easy to locate. Since it’s remote, the cafe, restaurant and bar are a nice touch.

When we pulled up I was alarmed to see a barrier with a £15 per night charge sign and only when I rang reception did they assure me that we wouldn’t have to pay as residents. This could’ve perhaps been conveyed on the sign so we were not worried to drive the rough the barrier and camera. The room reminded me of a prison cell, I don’t mean this to be unkind but the use of scaffolding pipes as a form of artsy decor didn’t come off very well. The carpet was a robust sort of easy clean type stuff which I understand as I’m sure hikers etc would have muddy boots, but I think it made the room smell unpleasant. The mattress was really hard, I even considered rolling up the duvet and lying on top of it. On a final note, there was one pillow. It took minimalist to the very extreme and I have to say for £180 (£203 incl. breakfast) I was far from impressed. It is worth noting that the TV will only work if you have an android mobile, which was unfortunate. I love going away and we have stayed in many many hotels and I always am open minded and looking to enjoy myself, but this hotel must surely be one of the worst we have visited. If it had been £60 I could’ve overlooked all these elements, but not for that price. I found myself lying in bed thinking of all the lovely Premiere Inns and Travelodges I have ever stayed in and how they were half the price and would’ve given me two pillows lol!

All good car park unfortunately was littered large bin overflowing didn’t give a good impression. Reception staff fab

Amazing location at bottom of Ben Nevis and ideal for hiking etc, used Cable Car up mountain and overall a great experience.

Perfect location. Staff incredibly helpful. Comfortable room with everything you need including yummy shortbread!

Little rooms and simple. Not even a wardrobe

I have stayed in this hotel earlier but that time we were just two people and we had good time here. This time I had family room which i must say reminded me of a prison cell seen in movies on top of that not even a single chair. Yes we all were together for a night and thats what matters, but no one liked the room. Unfortunately, because of weather, we were not able to take Gandola for which mainly we came to this hotel and that might have forced me to give one more star but be carefully of what you ask when you book family room here.

Really enjoyed the stay here and would recommend. Just wanted somewhere clean, comfortable with Wifi & parking for a weekend on the hills and it’s perfect for that! The food in the cafe isn’t great but if you’re planning on being out the majority of the time then it does the job.
