The website refers to this as a "Luxury" hotel. I have travelled the world and lived in all forms of accommodation and find that if you are honest many flaws can be overlooked, however the Royal sets it's aspirations high and then not only fails to deliver but in fact mocks the guest for their foolish belief in the hotel's...

Stayed at the Royal for a couple of nights on a recent business trip. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My twin bedded room was large, clean and fresh with great views. Large ensuite barthroom with good shower. Breakfast choice was amazing and would make some grander hotels think again about their own offerings. Have the full Scottish and you won't eat... More

We stayed at the Royal Hotel for two nights. The lobby and public areas are a bit tired and look more like a 1960s hospital reception than a warm and welcoming hotel. Our room was well enough appointed but the walls were very thin, and we could have quite easily joined in the discussion in the next room that was... More

Good ole Scottish weather, meant my partner and I were totally stranded in Ullapool, with no boats, feeling rather miserable as couldnt get to family across the water!! Thought it was just going to go from bad to worse but we were wrong about that when we walked through the doors of the Royal........ Staff at reception were so welcoming... More

I recently tsayed in this hotel for five nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even going so far as to provide a 5:45 am breakfast for our group. The place was spotless, the bedroom l and the ensuite were both large. OK the water pressure in the shower was a little feeble but it still did the job.... More

Stayed in hotel as ferry was running so late. Was met at the reception by the definition of a dour Scotsman and was given the "best Rooney in house" with the four poster and the balcony. Ok nice size room, bed is comfortable and linen clean but the room is showing age and shabby. The decor old, the heating is... More

We checked into the Royal as a last minute thing. The common areas were a little tired but the room was spotless, comfortable and I slept very well, in spite of the heating being rather feeble. The water pressure was, frankly, a joke. The view from the restaurant was spectacular and did a good job of distracting me from a... More

My wife booked this a few weeks ago. When she called, she was told the only room left was the 4 poster bed room but she would be given it for £115. When we got there, the 3 cars in the car park suggested the 63 rooms were not all full and we had been conned into taking an expensive... More

I arrived at the Royal Hotel after sailing from Stornoway, I was greeted with a dour wee face who gave me my room key. The room was really small and basic, but I did ask for a single room so serves me right. The breakfast in the morning was ample help yourself buffet style. Verdict, good value for the money... More
