“Food Poisoning and Severely Lacking in Charm”

Sligachan Hotel

Nov 7, 2007
2/3 found this review helpful

What a disappointment. Severely understaffed and the staff that were working were extremely surly and rude. Customer service is an unknown word at the Sligachan Hotel.

Walking into the bar in the evening, the silence, bright lights and distinct lack of atmosphere left us cold.

The vinegary red wine and the lethal scampi were merely the icing on the cake - four days of food poisoning was far from fun and the lack of sympathy and understanding from the staff made for a pretty rotten break.

Yes, one visits Skye for the stunning scenery and terrain, but after a day exploring the island, one requires a little warmth and comfort. Unfortunately - this won't be found at the Sligachan Hotel.

The Sligachan hotel was a perfect base for exploring Skye. The rooms were clean and cosy and the staff helpful and friendly. The Seumas Bar served good food in large portions which was perfect and much appreciated after a long day in the hills. An excellent hotel and it will be our first choice on our next visit to Skye.

This is a lovely hotel with very dilagent and hard working staff,the rooms were always clean and the food in the restaurant and bar was excellant.Some reviews i have seen were not particulary positive and made me apprehensive but after my stay i would love to return.There is a very multi cultural staff which seemed to help with the many foreign customers and this establishment is very childfriendly with a playpark and games at the back of the bar.The room I was in had a spectacular view of the cullins,the only dampener on my trip was the weather,which hopefully will be better on my inevitable next visit.

This is a hotel struggling to stay on its feet, clearly once upon a time it was THE place to stay on Skye and it has that aurora of faded glamour which in some ways gives it a little appeal. Our room was a modern one with a nice view over a rear car park towards the Cuilins but it was very basic. The newly installed double-glazing windows had been botched so they didn't close properly, as a result we had a whistling wind blowing through our bedroom throughout our stay.

The rest of the hotel clearly hadn't seen a lick of paint for decades. To reach our hotel we had to go through The Shining-esque dark, winding corridors. I almost expected Jack Nicholson to jump out at me with an axe. A clever spark had also decided to situate the public phone right outside our room so we had the joys of Americans phoning home late at night.

Breakfast was a sorry affair, in general service wasn't as bad as what others have described. Indifferent is a better description. The bar next door had a good atmosphere, although perhaps it would be better in summer when the campsite was full. Like many other places in the Highlands nowadays this place suffers from E European agency staff syndrome - their English isn't good, they don't smile a lot, they know nothing about whiskey, but hey, they're cheap.

Then again I've been in worse and the location of this place is great (which saves it from being 2/5 in this review), right next door to the Cuilins. But for the price you can do a lot better elsewhere on the island.

    • Disliked — Shabby, faded, in need of makeover, creepy corridors

“Why bother having a window if you can't see anything out it?!”

Sligachan Hotel

Jun 16, 2007
0/1 found this review helpful

Hotel very clean, rooms well equiped and reception staff friendly & helpful...however, was VERY DISAPPOINTED to find that my room had NO VIEW WHATSOEVER (overlooked an internal courtyard - could just about see some clouds in the sky if I craned my neck, otherwise window might as well have not existed). This lack of an outlook of any kind was not made clear to me when I booked - the room I paid for was full price so no hint of any negative features (OK, perhaps I should have asked whether the room had any kind of an outlook but since the room was full price I assumed that in terms of customer care the man who processed my booking would have disclosed this fact to me - after all, the main attraction of the hotel is its location & stunning views over the hills around). Despite this disappointing patr of my stay, have to say, though, that the (hardworking!) girl on reception/lounge bar duty was very friendly and professional - someone there does know the meaning of customer service!

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — well-equiped room
    • Disliked — Fact that man who took booking never stated that room had no outlook!
