I understand why others have rated this property poorly however I suspect they had high expectations. Whilst my room was not perfect it was perfectly adequate with plenty of hot water, a bed and a TV. All I needed for a single night stay for work. The local area isn't great for getting supplies so arrive with everything you need. Other than that have a cheap stay with nice views, or pay double elsewhere if you need the luxuries.

This hotel is not worth the money. It's clean and comfortable enough but not worth what they charge. The location is convenient for exploring skye and Lockalsh but the hotel is not nice. We saw two staff members doing literally all the jobs. I don't blame them. We had a remarkably bad and overpriced meal there

Property is in serious need of an upgrade. Walls and baseboards are banged up and in terrible condition. There is a musty smell in the property. Our room was on the top floor and it was impossibly hot. Couldn’t open the window but front desk person had it opened. Once open it was impossible to close but thankfully it never got cold enough to be a bother.

We only stayed the one night and needed a bed and shower. This property had both and were sufficient. The beds were actually quite comfortable. We didn’t like that the room was quite warm and you couldn’t open a window. We also had dinner here and it wasn’t bad but it was lackluster and we had to wait on the staff for multiple things. Didn’t help that a bus full of loud people showed up and packed the restaurant.

Never again
It started with a disinterested desk clerk, followed by a room that was minimal, at best. My socks picked up clumps of hair while walking on the rug. This is a hotel that caters to tour buses, nothing more.

This place is an old property. It does smell quite musty and you can hear everything from your room as the walls are paper thin. Bedding and bathroom was fairly clean but carpets were old dirty and warn. You can see they’ve tried to put in a few upgrades however it is definitely not worth the price but fine for a one night stay. Would not stay again

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 .

Average hotel but clean
Check in was chaotic with a long wait. There was a tour group traveling so lots of people checking in at the same time with 1 person manning the counter. Rooms were old but clean. Beds were ok for comfort. It was a place to stay… dinner required reservations but the food was excellent. Overall, an average place to stay but noting fancy. We were fine with it but manage expectations if you’re used new/updated hotels. For those with limited mobility, no elevator/lift available.

We’ve traveled the world and this would be something sub-par by our experience. We can deal with small and old rooms, but this was a horrible bed. The bathroom was recently redone and nice. But, there was NO security lock on the inside of the room. And since the door has old school actual key locks, any old key could gain access.

We stayed in Scotland for one week and thought this hotel would be a good option for one night. Parking was tough but not as bad as the hotel staff who were unaccomdating when I asked if they could keep our food items in their fridge overnight. Every other hotel I stayed in was able to accommodate this aside for them. When I returned in the morning to ask for ice to fill our cooler the receptionist could not find the key the kitchen. How unprofessional. I'm very frustrated in the hotel staff and would recommend looking elsewhere.
