Pros:

Lovely hotel in a superb setting. Dinner was very nice with the restaurant being used by residents and non-residents. Breakfast had a choice of dishes.

Pros:

Le petit-déjeuner est vraiment très bon

Cons:

Pour 520 CHF la nuit je m’attends à une qualité nettement supérieure. Le service est extrêmement lent et pas remarquable pour un établissement qui se veut haut de gamme.

Buenas vistas, buen desayuno
Pros:

Vistas preciosas. Hotel acogedor. El desayuno bastante bueno. Parking propio y con buen acceso. El personal de recepción.

Cons:

El personal del desayuno, que les falta bastante formación (te hacen esperar para sentarte en la mesa porque están consultando el móvil, risas/gritos/conversaciones en tono altísimo), seguro q con el tiempo mejoran).

It was a very nice start of our trip
Pros:

quality of facility, cleanliness, view, restaurant and staff. the desk clerk loaned us a car phone charger while we were there and trusted that we would return it.

Cons:

It was a bit pricey. Later in our visit we found even better accommodations 25 minutes outside Edinburgh for 1/3 the price. I recognize that the Isle of Skye is in demand, which made sense for the price.

Beautiful view, bad staff, very very expensive for what it is, not worth it
Pros:

The view

Cons:

The staff is so rude and that for what you are paying its not fair. We got back to the hoyel at 9:05pm the kitchen stops serving at 9 and eventhough we were staying there they told us no more food and they were very rude, plus they add the service and tips in the bill? the price is definitely not worth it. If someone I know is going I wouldn’t recommend it at all maybe just for drinks Hate it very bad hotel experience

Great location, lovely staff, comfortable & clean rooms. Oh, and FREE parking!
Pros:

The hotel was in a lovely location with a great view of the bay. It's a short drive or slightly longer stroll into town. The staff as amazing, the rooms were comfortable and clean. and surprisingly the lobby bar is open 24/7, funky touch! No complaints, and highly recommend.

Cons:

I found the room rates a bit steep, but I assume this is my own fault for booking late. There was a small malfunction in the room but the team rectified this immediately upon us pointing it out. No other complaints!

Well located with great food.
Pros:

Very convenient location in the heart of Skye. Near the local town and on the lake. Food was excellent quality and sizeable portions.

Cons:

We drove from Inverness to Edinburgh and noted that generally hotel prices are 20-40% more expensive than the equivalent quality in the UK.
