Pros:

Great location right in Portree. Good food in the restaurant and there are many other restaurants within walking distance.
Our room was right at the front of the hotel and there was some noise in the square but it did not bother us and I am a very light sleeper.
Staff were really friendly and helpful.
Would stay there again. Travelled with family. Room accommodated 3 adults with room to spare.

Skye break
Pros:

One night stay in a cosy singke room. Bed was under the eaves so I was a little concerned about hitting my head off the sloping roof over the bed but all okay. Cooked and continental breakfast was nice but they did run out of croissants

Pros:

I booked the twin room because I planned to be out and about all day, but ended up getting sick. It's a cozy room with everything you need, but gets a little snug when you spend two whole days stuck in there 😂 Definitely the smallest room of my trip!

It's right in the middle of town, next to the bus stop, so it was incredibly convenient. The restaurant is delicious, too, which is good because it's a small town and there aren't many other options. I ate all my meals there and had no complaints. Plus, breakfast was a cold buffet & hot menu, which was a nice change of pace from the other places I stayed around Scotland, which all had identical buffets.

The bathroom was actually surprisingly big, considering the room size, but I had trouble with the shower. It would cycle between too-hot and too-cold every ten seconds or so, with very brief intervals at a reasonable temperature.

Also, it's an old building and doesn't have an elevator, so keep that in mind if you have a problem with stairs!

Pros:

Have come across friendlier hotels! Room had very bright fire exit signs, so couldn't sleep well. Stay was just ok, comfortable, but wouldn't rush back. Decent breakfast and came quick.

Pros:

Terrible service, it was as if the staff didn't want us to be there. Only 1 staff member we dealt with was any good. Clean room. V small bathroom. Great breakfast.

Pros:

Great location; harbour nearby and amazing walks and scenery easily accessible. Room on 3rd floor, clean and well supplied but overpriced. Service was generally ok but obviously overstretched.

Pros:

Meine Frau und ich haben nur eine Nacht dort verbracht. Das Portree Hotel liegt ganz im Zentrum von Portree. Das Hotel ist schön und Zauber, die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und hilfreich. Das Bett war viel zu klein für uns beide, und man konnte das Fenster nicht öffnen. Das Restaurant im Erdgeschoss ist sehr gut, man kann in ca. 20m Entfernung parken.

Pros:

This is an older hotel that offers basic rooms, our one was on a smaller side, but everything was clean and comfortable. We did not have the opportunity to try their restaurant as it was fully booked the night we stayed but we really enjoyed the breakfast. The hotel is in a really good location within walking distance from the main shopping area, with several restaurants nearby. Please note there is no elevator in this hotel but they offered to help us carry our luggage upstairs to our room.

Pros:

Right in the heart of Portree, this was a fabulous place to stay. The Antlers bar and restaurant was very convenient to have dinner after a long day exploring Skye without going to far and the included breakfast was a similar lifesaver. The staff are so kind and the check in/out process was super fast and simple

My only warning would be that there is no lift, which they mention on their website, but figured I’d reiterate. I was fine as I travel light but again, it’s nice for other travelers to know!
