Mallaig Inn with rooms.

Good value Inn in Mallaig. The room was small but functional and comfortable. Matress and shower very good. The quality, value and service in the Inn itself was excellent, as was the included breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Great location for our early morning ferry to Skye however paper thin walls meant we barely slept. This was due to the loud football watchers in the pub below and next door shouting and cheering, followed by full volume music and singing(shouting) until around midnight (surprising on a Sunday evening) & another guest next door deciding to do shower karaoke. Lovely room and staff but lack of sleep ruined it I’m afraid

Although we enjoyed staying at the hotel it is important to realise that there is no on site parking, it seems there is normally street parking 50 metres up the road, not sure how it easy it would be to park "in season". Also you need to be aware that the rooms are up a steep flight of stairs, totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. Saying that, the hotel is convenient to the port, the price is reasonable, the staff are friendly and the food in the bar is very good. The bar is underneath the rooms but we were not disturbed by any noises from below. There are also nice balconies which would be good in reasonable weather.

This was a great find. A budget hotel with good breakfast, free car parking, easy access off the motorway, and easy to walk both into Glasgow City Centre or to The Riverside museum. Definitely looking at booking for the Commonwealth Games in 2026

The bed was very uncomfortable. The puter door didnt close properly so caused a draft and made our bedroom door rattle constantly. Breakfast was very disappointing. The morning we left, our muffins which we had been given were actually mouldy.
