Pros:

The views and the history of the original old hotel.

Cons:

The breakfast offered a good range of options but the traditional breakfast was very poorly cooked, with the least spoiled ingredients being the tinned tomatoes!

Pros:

breakfast buffet is good

Cons:

Beds are very soft, rooms pretty small, and partitions so thin that you hear all what's happening in the corridor.
Dinner menu is an expensive joke. Who would expect to be served frozen vietnamese farmed fish on Skye!

Pros:

Posizione bella, comoda e facile da trovare. Pulizia accettabile.

Cons:

Per arrivare all'ascensore ci sono scalini in curva, ho visto anziani con enormi valigie faticare senza che nessuno li aiutasse. La camera aveva le tende rotte, per cui luce tutta la notte, l'acqua della doccia usciva inondando il bagno, il letto era piccolo e scomodo, le pareti sottili, la camera era basica, il ristorante mediocre.
Non sono solito dare recensioni negative, ma non si può fare pagare come un albergo di lusso un vecchio albergo mal rinnovato solo perché sei due miglia dentro l'isola di Skye.

MUY MEJORABLE.
Pros:

La ubicación.

Cons:

El personal de recepción es muy poco amable. La ducha de la habitación estaba adosada a una pared inclinada (debido a la inclinación del tejado). Ducharse fue un ejercicio de contorsionismo.
