The Isle of Skye was our third stop on our driving tour of Scotland. We were only able to stay one night, and although needing a little refreshing, the Royal was perfect for our needs. We had room #6 on the first floor and it had a decent view, but nothing to get real excited about (see picture) at a... more

The Royal Hotel was ideal for our purpose, which as exploring Skye during a period of 3 days. There was a car park but situated around the corner -some 100 metres away. more

We stayed at The Royal Hotel and we were not impressed at all. Not only was our room at the back of the hotel but the rooms were very run down, stuffy, with extremely old decor and a view of a alluminium wall! This place needs a complete refirbishment. The breakfast in the morning was terrible and cold and the... more

We arrived in Portree a bit dubious after reading some of the previous reviews, but were pleasantly surprised. The view from our 2nd floor (3rd floor American) window was over the harbour and was a lovely panoramic view as far as the eye could see. Given that it did not get completely dark until around midnight, it made for a... more

Spent 2 nights in this hotel on our recent tour of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Had a great room (No. 3, fairly big, first floor) with a super view of Portree Harbour and out to sea. Although situated on a slightly busy road we didn't find our room at all noisy. Most traffic died down in the evening... more

Great location for the hotel: our room overlooked the harbour. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our evening meal (we were a party of 11) was ok although the people who chose the cheese desert were of the opinion that two of the cheeses served were past their best, if not off. In March parking was easy in the adjacent... more

The Royal Hotel has a lovely location in the centre of the town just overlooking the habour. The hotel is a little old fashioned - the room was fine but old fashioned and basic but good value for the price paid. The reception staff were nice but not overly friendly. Parking is a bit of an issue but you can... more

Stayed here for a couple of nights with my wife. The room was nice and spacious and the bed was very comfy. The hotel itself had 2 very nice (but different bars). The Royal Hotel Bar was a plain regulars bar and good for a couple of beers. McNabs bar was more luxurious and very nice to relax in. Staff... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the Royal. Our room was very clean and comfortable. As others have mentioned it is a terrific location right by the harbour. It was fun just to sit around and watch the boats come and go. Perhaps the bar was kind of basic, but the staff and locals were very friendly, and... more
