This hotel looks like a prison and is about as comfortable. the rooms are clean and the staff are friendly and obliging but that is where it ends. the double bed was the smallest size you can still call a double, the pillows are apparently filled with stones and we all (there were three of us attending a conference) woke...

The hotel has a big parking, that is good! The reception was friendly and efficient. We needed to to place a call to the Isle of Skye and the lady at the reception kindly called for us and made sure we had the proper information, that was very nice of her. The hotel is sadly quite far from the city... More

I stay in this hotel regularly with work and at one point for a month excluding weekends. The ground floor rooms have been completely refurbished to an excellent standard, they are a mixture of doubles and double, doubles with robes, slippers and reclining chairs.I think they are sold as deluxe and are more expensive. The upper floors are less expensive,... More

Cant complain about this hotel, not bad, clean rooms and nice enough, only gripe is the racket from the road nearby, not sure why people on Motorbikes need to try and set a new land speed record at 5am but they do ! More

We booked a family room in this hotel - room 192. The interior of the hotel was spotless as was the pool. At £75 for the night bed and breakfast it was excellent value for money. Only negative was no milk jug with the tea/coffee served with breakfast but that's just nit picking on my part! We'll definitely be back! More

Rooms are large and clean, although menu never changes the resulting food does. Chunky chips are not always chunky, but more time than not over cooked. Pizza's change from being cooked well to sitting in a plate of fatty oil. Lucky thought, there is a BugerKing about 100m from the hotel. As I said, Ya gets what ya pays for! More
