Soggiorno perfetto
Pros:

La gentilezza dell'host, la comodità del letto, la tipicità del luogo.
Anche se la colazione non è inclusa l'host lascia un po' di cose a disposizione insieme a latte, caffè e tea

Bien situé mais sale
Pros:

Bien situé mais gros souci de propreté
La salle d’eau était moisie et le pire a ete la découverte de cheveux et poils dans mon lit (évidemment pas les miens, je suis chauve)
Les équipements sont pratiques

Cons:

La propreté laisse à désirer
L’endroit est défraîchi

Pros:

Was a great place to stay. The beds where comfy, rooms where spacious with a great ensuite. The location was ideal for staying in portree as so close to the town centre. Off street parking was great

Cons:

We arrived earlier and stepped by to see if we could leave our backpacks in order to go hiking. We know they're not obliged to give this service, but we would have been ok with a no for an answer.
Instead, the owner didn't even open the door. He just stepped on the other side and screamed at us. We couldn't get what he was saying at the beginning. He just continued to scream louder "COME BACK AT 13:00" and left us there.
When we returned later he didn't even say sorry properly, and excused himself with some "difficult morning with no cleaning employees available"
No excuse it's good enough for the treatment he gave us. And to have to spend the night in a place with someone that screamed at you wasn't nice at all.

The place it's ok, but we felt very uncomfortable and non welcomed at all.

Not really for me
Pros:

Cheap and near centre of Portree

Cons:

Instructed to take shoes off at door. I didn't think the sheets felt clean so slept on top of bed. Couldn't turn radiator down and my bed was butted up to it. Very impersonal place with paper thin walls
