The room was beautiful and clean. The property next door was not attractive. When you drive in the yard on the right hand side the area is a mess. The hotel itself is beautiful.

Gin

Disliked: Amenities
So this was advertised as "luxury hotel". Far from it. I paid over 500 a night for basically a box with a tiny window almost on the ceiling that overlooked the parking lot. Staff dressed in suits/formal attire, but that does not a luxury hotel make. Feel really ripped off, avoid this overpriced hotel. Location was good, so at least that is something.

We LOVED this property and would definitely stay again if we were in the area. The room was very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. It was a great location to walk to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and even the water. We had no issues parking and the staff were very friendly as well. It was a quiet place and we really enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend!

Conner

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Perfectly clean, nice modern rooms, AC, breakfast was good. One criticism is pretty small menu for the evening food. Fine dining, meat-focused menu without much variety. Great for me, the meat eater, but couldn't eat there with my travel partner who doesn't eat as much meat, so we didn't go. Walkable to the town center restaurants, though.

I was on a tour and had one night in Portree. I am so glad I picked the Marmalade Hotel. They were so nice and helpful and the room was comfortable and I had a good night sleep. A easy 5 minute walk into town.
