Stornoway's most historic hotel, the Royal nestles in the heart of Stornoway, beside the marina, where you can relax, enjoy the hotel's cozy character and enjoy dining in our Boatshed Restaurant or in HS1, the town's 1st cafe bar. If on business, you'll probably appreciate free wireless internet access available throughout the hotel. What matters so much more than bricks and mortar, though, is the warmth of the welcome and the friendly, easy service you'll receive - for the Hebrides has a great tradition of hospitality. While the Royal Hotel enjoys a delightful view over the colorful, bustling harbor to the splendor of Lews Castle and its grounds. The center of town is only around 220 yards away. Hotel Rooms: 26 Most recent booking for this hotel was yesterday at 14:43 from Germany.

Great food in a very friendly relaxed atmosphere. Fantastic location with views of harbour & Lews castle from most bedrooms. Very nice staff. Hotel is decorated to a high standard and us very comfortable. No exclusive guest lounge but the lounge bar is and adequate alternative. WiFi was unreliable.

Evening meal was good. At £92 for the smallest single I have ever stayed in for b+b this hotel is well overpriced. It's very tired and needs a facelift. Bathroom and facilities are very poor. In fairness the restaurant was not bad and my evening meal was good. I stayed at 4 hotels on the islands during my week there. The other 3 were to a much higher standard and all were under £60. The Royal needs to rethink its positioning and prices.I Will not return.

There was nothing to dislike, really. I especially liked the black pudding! The serving staff in the bistro and restaurant were excellent - there simply weren't enough of them! They seemed to be run ragged and looked rushed off their feet. They apologised profusely that my main meal was served late, even though I didn't really think it was, and offered me a single malt on the house in recompense, but a couple more people would make the place seem less frantic and provide a more relaxed dining experience.

My room was nicely decorated and had everything i needed, hair dryer, iron and TV with a good few stations. The shower was just ok, it was hot but could have been more powerful. I couldn't get wifi to work in the bedroom but it was fine in all the public areas. The restaurant and bar areas were modern and nicely decorated and the choice of food was good.

1. The Towels. 2. breakfast served to the room (£3.00 extra). Staff have friendly attitude. Room with view over carpark - and noise of kitchen vent.Grubby common areas and stairways.Food relatively pricey - cooking OK but unremarkable. Only has a bar with restuarant tables and a restuarant, there is no lounge area to sit and relax in the evening. Its a bit B+ - OK but not brilliant.

Well located, close to town centre and shopping area. Comfortable room with pleasant view over to the castle. Cramped bathroom. Shower didn't work in one of the rooms. The cafe's "afternoon tea" was very limited - tea and biscuits or waffle with ice- cream (without the ice-cream as the machine was broken). No scones, muffins, tea cakes or fresh cream cakes. When asked whast was meant by afternoon tea, the waiter said "well, you can get a cup of tea in the afternoon".

Zentrale Lage, alles zu Fuss machbar. Zwei attraktive, gemütliche und viel Atmosphäre ausstrahlende Lounges für das Nachtessen. Gute Qualität des Essens. Absolut perfekt und vorbildlich bei Beratung & Service für die weitere Planung unserer Individualreise mitsamt der online-Buchung von Fährestrecken mit Caledonian McBraine durch die Dame an der Reception! Die Fenster gegen die Strasse sind nicht isoliert und daher sind diese Zimmer dem Lärm stark und störend ausgesetzt, bis tief in die Nacht hinein.

We were only there overnight to get the ferry next morning. The bed was the most comfortable I had had during a week of travelling about - bliss!

It was very central.and food good but pricey. It was very expensive for what you get, have stayed in much better for half the price and even less in country wide hotel chains. The room I had was next to a duct system that was so noisy I had to turn the TV way up to hear it, the fan with-in the duct did not go off until late in the evening about 10.00pm approximately, my room was not cleaned on second night and tea tray not filled, at price I was paying would say this was scandalous, also very poor parking only enough for about 6/7 cars and some of these spaces taken up by staff.

I have stayed fve times and the location and food are excellent This was my fifth stay and first time in a back facing room (room 10) and a totally different experience to the front rooms. Noises from staff using the recylcing bins until 12.30am and from the heating plant. Feel these rooms should be discounted as marred the experience as difficult to sleep.
