The staff were really approachable, friendly and helpful. My room was clean and well looked after. I particularly appreciated the free wi-fi service offered. I have stayed in hotels in far bigger towns and cities that didn't offer such a service. There are two places to eat in the hotel- the Boatshed restaurant, which I didn't try, and a cafe.… More

Stornoway's most historic hotel, the Royal nestles in the heart of Stornoway, beside the marina, where you can relax, enjoy the hotel's cosy 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 colourful, bustling harbour to the splendour of Lews Castle and its grounds. The town centre is only around 200 metres walk.

Hotel Rooms: 26.

Hotel information

Located right beside Stornoway's leisure marina, the Royal is ideal for business or pleasure. A place where you will find enjoyment in comfortable relaxation, the creative cuisine of the Boatshed Restaurant and the vibrant atmosphere of HS1, the town's 1st cafe bar.

Built in 1845, the hotel would originally have provided accommodation for the officers of the many ships that visited the Borough.

While its important historic features have been preserved, today’s modern Royal continues a 3rd century of traditional, friendly Hebridean hospitality - endorsed by the Hospitality Assured award.

Food & beverage

Breakfast is served from 07:30 until 09:30.
Lunch is served from 12:00 until 16:00.
Dinner is served from 17:00 until 21:00.

Room information

Many of the hotel's period features have been retained in our front facing bedrooms which overlook the marina and Lews Castle Grounds, so it's worth booking early and requesting one of these. Each is very individual.

It's said that Lord Leverhulme used to sit in the oriel window of his room, watching the goings on prior to moving in to the castle.

Rear facing rooms are in more contemporary style, are comfortable and a little quieter than those facing the street at the front - though this small town is rarely noisy.

Alasdair Solo traveller London, United Kingdom June 15, 2009	The staff were really approachable, friendly and helpful. My room was clean and well looked after. I particularly appreciated the free wi-fi service offered. I have stayed in hotels in far bigger towns and cities that didn't offer such a service. There are two places to eat in the hotel- the Boatshed restaurant, which I didn't try, and a cafe. My only minor objection was the fact that the water pressure in the shower was pretty weak. Other than that, I enjoyed every single other aspect of my stay.	10
Margaret Mature couple Prestwick, United Kingdom June 1, 2009	Very tired hotel in need of some serious investment. Decor and carpeting in common areas very dated and tired although breakfast was good with generous portions. Room very nice and clean but cistern ran most of night, window frames badly rotten resulting in windows rattling most of night due to wind conditions. Water pressure in shower non existant.	6.5
