Reviews and Ratings
I simply loved my stay at the Portree Hotel! The rooms were clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, making it one of the best spots in Portree for lunch and dinner. The service was exceptional, with a warm welcome from check-in to check-out. The location was fantastic for exploring the Isle of Skye, but unfortunately, the dining experience left a bit to be desired.
The hotel is in a prime location right in the center of Portree, making it convenient for walks and sightseeing, although the room was cramped and oddly shaped, slightly affecting comfort. The staff was friendly and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant stay, even though the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, a decent choice for those looking for a central location with welcoming service.
The hotel was beautiful, comfortable, and clean with above-average service but had a freezing cold room due to a non-functional heater. The location was convenient for exploring the Isle of Skye, close to the bus station, restaurants, and shops. The dining experience was good, although could have been more imaginative. Overall, a lovely stay with some room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were extremely cozy and had amazing views, but they were very overpriced for the size and had a water leak in the windows. The service was a bit inconsistent; while the staff were amazing and always there for us with a friendly smile, it could do with more coaching as some were slamming doors late into the evening. The location was excellent, within walking distance of all local amenities, but some issues with missing items highlighted a lack of attention to detail. The dining experience was genuine and of high quality, with a great selection that set us up well for the day. The facilities were adequate but nothing exceptional.
The hotel was situated in a charming area in Portree, offering a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. The rooms were comfortable but a bit limited in storage space. The dining experience was enjoyable, with good quality meals. However, evening entertainment options were somewhat lacking. Overall, a pleasant stay despite some minor drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the Portree Hotel. The rooms were a bit small for a 3-night stay, but overall, it was a good experience. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff, although being called 'My man' was a bit odd for me. The location was exactly what I needed for exploring the Isle of Skye, right in the center of Portree. The dining options were good, with a few misses in the breakfast choices. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, making my stay convenient.
The hotel is a great choice for a short stay with housekeeping, although the room may feel cramped for more than two people. The service, while generally polite and helpful, could benefit from more experienced staff. The location is ideal for exploring the town and nearby attractions.
The hotel was situated right in the heart of everything, making it perfect for exploring Skye. The rooms were well-equipped with all the amenities one could need, despite a minor issue with cleanliness. The staff, although overwhelmed, tried their best to be accommodating. However, the noise level from slamming doors was a drawback. The location was excellent for our adventures, with added measures like small greenhouses for safety. The dining options, while not meeting expectations, offered a variety of eclectic British dishes. Overall, a decent stay at a reasonable price.
