Pros:

The staff are exceptionally friendly, especially those in the dining room, and the breakfast is really good.

Cons:

The hotel is in need of a fresh makeover; it currently has the charm of a bygone 1980s era. Although it's somewhat overpriced, a modern upgrade could truly enhance its appeal.

Struttura in ottima posizione ma non vale il prezzo pagato. alla reception il signore che ci ha accolti era quasi scocci
Pros:

Posizione perfetta e strategica per raggiungere i luoghi d’attrazione dell’isola di Skye

Cons:

Camera piccola e un po’ obsoleta con moquette che da una sensazione di chiuso e poco pulito

Polecam na jeden nocleg lub na pobyt stacjonarny
Pros:

Ładny hotel, bardzo pomocna obsługa. Śniadanie dobre choć mało urozmaicone, brakowało mi świeżych warzyw.

Cons:

Hotel położony jest z dala od wszystkiego, dobry jako przystanek w drodze na Skye i tak jest wykorzystywany przez wycieczki objazdowe. Ja z braku innych możliwości noclegu wybrałem ten hotel na czas zwiedzania wyspy Skye i straciłem dużo czasu pokonując wielokrotnie trasę Kyleakin-Sligachan. Hotel raczej wiekowy ale dobrze utrzymany i klimatyczny. W moim odczuciu cena za pobyt była zbyt wysoka ale to chyba kwestia wyspy Skye.

Poco recomendable
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

Relación calidad/precio horrible! Muy caro para el tipo de hotel que es. En España no pasaría de un dos estrellas y justito.
El suelo de la habitación y del baño estaba inclinado.
Instalaciones pésimas
Desayuno justito
Personal poco amable. A las 23 cerraron las puertas del hotel y no dejaban salir a nadie!
