    Very good

    Staff lovely, stayed in the new part of the hotel so the room was clean and tidy. Great location to visit Skye. It is pricey. Entrance and dining area need to be updated. Limited parking.

    Location,breakfast Bathroom: uncomfortable to move around and to use the sink. Missing toilet brush: basic item to have in a toilet especially if sharing the bathroom with others when not staying at the hotel on your own.

    Amazing location in the middle of Portree. Room was large and comfy for a family. Somewhat aged, some maintenance wouldn’t hurt. Value was bad (though high season).

    The lad on the desk at check in was particularly helpful. Bar opening at 5pm. Would have been happier with an hour earlier.

    Location Very dated . View from room was very rough

    Location and breakfasts. There was no street noise despite being in a ground floor room. Price. We were committed to pay the high price as there were few options left when we booked. Squeaky floorboards.

    Location Old run down hotel, most expensive we paid for in 2 weeks in Scotland and by far the least desirable. This place needs an upgrade. Beds are sad. TV has very few channels, mostly BBC news. The location is the only thing going for it. Tried to get in restaurant, but always full of outside guests.

    Central location for Portree, very clean, the premium room had plenty of space. The facilities in the room could have been a little better. A small fridge would have been a useful addition, especially for a three-night stay. We also felt the price was quite expensive for the length of our stay. Unfortunately, we were travelling during a very busy period and didn’t have much choice when it came to accommodation. The staff were excellent.

    就在Porter中心位置,出门看海,门口可以短暂停车,周边也有停车场。 周边吃饭购物都很方便。 可能因为是岛上,房间相对来说有点潮。

    Great location, good size room, good shower

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location was very good and the breakfast staff were very friendly. It was very expensive for an outdated property and was impossible not to freeze or burn your hands when washing them in the bathroom. The Wifi did not reach our room (we were in the ground floor).
