Our first stop on Skye before travelling up to Staffin. Very comfortable, the room comfortable, if not very large. Nice staff, we were served by a young girl called Lily in the restaurant - what a lovely, smiling face! Thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I would not recommend: we could hear the conversations and the steps from the people in the room upstairs as if a paper sheet divided the two rooms. The bathroom was mouldy, the curtain was ripped, the bedroom we were given was tiny and absolutely depressing. Do not stay here if you have another option…

Very nice location but it’s hard to sleep because it feels like walls are made of paper and you can hear every breath from the next rooms, other than that it’s actually very good! The breakfast is good as well.

KINGS ARMS HOTEL

A large & very busy hotel with extremely limited on site parking but I did get a spot . All the staff were friendly & polite . Extremely basic small single room but I suspect that the larger rooms are much better . However , it did the job & I slept very well . Location is great with good scenic views .

Location on the water was great! Convenient to everything in the small town. The hotel is in a heritage building and things are older, floors uneven, hallway carpets stained. However, the bedrooms we had were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean. The place had everything we needed for a comfortable and affordable stay.

Convenient position near Skye bridge, property looks over the coast. Our room was at back, ok but bathroom windows were normal see-through glass. Evening meal was ok but expensive. Breakfast quite good, though shift manager was arguing with staff.

The rooms were clean, freshly painted and modernised for a property, much of which was built a long time ago. We had dinner in the hotel on the first night which was lovely. A friendly maltese poodle in reception added a special touch when we arrived for check in. Corridors are tight. It was a convenient place to stay to access the towns in Skye
