La posizione
Nella stanza vi era odore di umido e la struttura è un po’ datata
purtroppo alle 6 del mattino e’ suonato l’allarme antincendio ad intervalli per un’ora
Très bien situé avec un bon petit déjeuner.
Odeur désagréable dans la chambre et la salle de bain. Cuvette cassée et baignoire bouchée. L’alarme incendie qui nous réveille et qui ne cesse de sonner de 5h45 à 8h du matin, réveillant tout l’hôtel. Quand on demande ce qu’il se passe, même pas d’excuse.
Location
Entryway, lobby, so-so breakfast. Very noisy street.
Breakfast was nice, in the main room downstairs. Choice of items from the menu or buffet. There is also separate restaurant which I would recommend for dinner. No elevator, but you can ask for help bringing luggage up or down.
Our room was supposed to have water view; it would be but the was obstructed by restaurant building across the street.
Very old-style bathroom with bathtub/shower. Parking not so easy, there is small parking lot belonging to the hotel but just for a few cars.
Good location
Most of the staff was excellent and helpful, one was not. Comfortable with excellent food, but a little scrutando worn. Eight parking spaces for 46 rooms caused a lot of problems. The description of the property and the parking did NOT fit the reality. Overall a good stay , but very stressful about the parking situation. Definitely not worth the cost.
Location was central and easy to commute from.
Overall a dated hotel with a need for renovation, especially given the rates being charged. Very little to offer for the price. Breakfast options also limited for vegetarians - would prefer if they kept it simple with a selection of pastries, etc and priced accordingly.
Location was good.
We arrived at the Royal Hotel in Portree and immediately found our room had clearly not been properly cleaned. The toilet was visibly soiled with feces, and the rubbish bin had not been emptied. Not exactly what you expect when checking into a hotel charging around $350 per night.
I went straight to reception and explained the situation. Because it was after 5 p.m., I was told there was nobody available to clean the bathroom. The alternative offered was essentially to downgrade our room. We ended up cleaning the toilet ourselves and then discovered that the towels provided were badly worn and frayed, so we had to return to reception to get replacement towels.
The following morning, we again explained what had happened to hotel staff and were assured that the room would receive a full cleaning while we were out. We returned around 5 p.m. The room had indeed been cleaned—but this time there were no towels at all. So once again, we had to go downstairs and ask for towels.
On top of the housekeeping issues, the bed is very uncomfortable, especially for a room in this price range, and there is no air conditioning. I understand that air conditioning is not standard everywhere in Scotland, but at roughly $350 per night, the overall comfort level simply does not match the price being charged.
What makes this particularly disappointing is that we spoke with staff on multiple shifts about the original problem, so the hotel had plenty of opportunity to make things right. Instead, something as basic as providing a clean bathroom, decent towels, and a comfortable room became a repeated issue.
I understand that accommodation in Portree is expensive, particularly during peak season. But a high room rate makes basic housekeeping and comfort standards more important, not less. Guests paying this kind of money should not be cleaning a previous guest’s mess from the toilet, repeatedly going to reception for towels, or sleeping in an uncomfortable bed.
Gezellig klein plaatsje op Isle of Skye waar het goed vis eten is.
Klein 2-persoonsbed waardoor je constant op de rand lag. Hoge prijs van € 350 per kamer per nacht waar je wel enige kwaliteit voor verwacht had, bijvoorbeeld een naastgelegen parkeerplaats en een goed restaurant. Niet dus.
Great location
The premium room had very poor wifi - we asked multiple times and were told they’d reboot the system- on check-out we were told it was a known issue in our room from before we arrived!!! Disappointing as it was an expensive place to stay - also they couldn’t turn off the heating system and it was summer- we couldn’t leave windows open as it’s a busy street with traffic and people- the room was on street level.
The view from our room was absolutely stunning and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Room, supper, staff friendliness
Literie, vue
the view was fantastic - breakfst was also very good - location excellent -
The hotel has no lift, and having a lift would make this hotel excellent think a lift can easily be installed as the layout of the hotel permits it, even from the side or back
De ligging.
De heren bij het (karige)ontbijt waren vriendelijk.
De prijs. Het was de enige mogelijkheid nog in Portree. Maar 300€ per nacht met een ontbijtje waar je je echt niks bij moet voorstellen, zo karig, is toch echt veels te duur. Het hotel is erg oud en kan wel een opfris beurt gebruiken.
Geen airco op de kamer en het raam ging niet open waardoor het heel warm was op de kamer.
Nee de volgende keer of eerder boeken bij een andere locatie of Portree overslaan.
Conveniently situated.
Our room overlooked the bay very nice view. Most staff friendly reception & cleaning. Breakfast had been kept warm a long time . Following morning asked for fresh cooked was ok.
The stairs 4 lots of stairs to get to room 15 no lift ! Although staff were available to carry bags up and down for us. Difficulty parking small hotel Carpark a walk away not many spaces. Bank nearby but on chance. Overnight free on bigger Carpark further away from 6-9am then ok where to move it too no return only short stay during day
We got a very nice view of the harbour, and the room was pretty. The breakfast was included in the price and was delicious.
The bathroom was a bit small and lacked of shelves or other supporting surfaces
