The window of my room did not close properly, the latch was broken, a minor thing to fix here.

Excellent location to enjoy Isle of Skye, very clean and very well equiped shared Kitchen.

Very minor things were, it would be helpful to have hooks on the doors ( we used the backs of chairs to hang our coats on). When the wind blew the window whistled, but this didn’t keep us awake after all the fresh air.

The location overlooks the water in the centre of Portree. The public car park is just across the road. If you are out all day you can put £3 on the metre at about 5pm and it adds time onto the next morning ( until about 10am). The kitchen was really great. We had a ping meal one night and takeaway from the fat panda another. We also visited an Indian restaurant ( just across the car park) & the Isles inn. There were plenty of charging points and plugs in the room ( we had a twin). The towel rail worked well in the shower room. We turned the radiator off in the bedroom. The staff bought us more loo roll when requested. The kettle in the room was very handy.

I had an appointment so the 8am breakfast was ideal but wasn't there. At 8.20 I asked, and was told i wasn't on the list and there were no staff to provide this. Fortunately i rearranged my appointment and a gentleman sorted out the breakfast, as i was the only one who had paid £5.95 for the service. The price of the breakfast was shown to be prohibitive, and a single room price of over £70 per night was higher than most b&b's in the area

checked in by a very helpful, cheerful girl. Booked a breakfast with her and paid at checking in. As she had no change i owed her £1, which i gave to a different girl on reception later that evening.

The parking lot is a little bit far from the hostel. and the sound proof is so so.

the room was clean and the toilet is clean with good facility. It is near the beach and convenient for travelling. The bed is comfortable too.

The ensuite shower in the room was broken so had to use one on another floor. There wasn’t a line or anything but it definitely wasn’t ideal. It was still clean enough but bring shower shoes :)

Portree is tiny so everything is nearby but the location is excellent. Right across the street from the town square with easy access to the major Skye and mainland buses. The view from the common room is of the harbour which is beautiful with the huge windows in there. Lovely to sit, have breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine and watch the sunset. Full self-service kitchen with hot water always on tap to make a cup of tea and fridges, freezers, ovens, utensils, etc to cook when needed. Beds were comfy and warm, room, common areas very clean with lots of room to sit, lie down, eat, and board games and activities available. Nothing really to write home about but perfectly safe, clean, and comfortable for a solo female traveller hiking around Skye to rest in the evening. 99% of the people staying there were also hikers so if that’s your vibe, this is perfect.

The shower in the room was out of order during my stay. It was quite inconvenient to use the one downstairs. It would be appreciated if there is a hairdryer.

The bed was comfortable. The lounge is cozy with an incredible view. The kitchen was clean and tidy. Staffs were friendly.

Kitchen was not that clean.

Location was great.

The walls were quite thin - I could hear noise from the kitchen and the lounge area (I was in the room closest to them, so I cannot speak for all rooms). Additionally, you could hear noise from other room and in the main hallways, especially. Also, any noise from outside by the parking lot could be heard. I would have liked it if the individual bed lights were working in my room. Also, there was limited outlets and I ended up plugging my phone charger into the ceiling outlet, as it was the closest one to the upper bed bunk ! There was also limited cabinet/locker space. My room only had 2 for 4 people, but they did have the ability to be locked with a lock you could bring yourself.

I enjoyed the proximity of the Hostel to most things in Portree. It is only a 5 minute walk from the bus station/main square. Additionally, the kitchen was fully stocked with plates, bowls, cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc. which is ideal if you are planning a longer stay. There's only a few restaurants in town that are open for dinner, so I would recommend getting groceries from the Co-Op down the street to make something! I also was glad that each room only had a small amount of guests per room. Definitely allowed me to get to know my roommates better and made communication easier in terms of wake-up/bedtime. The ensuite toilet and shower was also nice. The shower was spacious and was able to heat up at a comfortable temperature (for me, I enjoy very hot showers in such chilly damp weather).

The bed was too small and short. Kitchen was really dirty. Too many lights inside the room during the night. I had to pay for the car parking.

Big common aerea!

We needed storage service for our suitcases and they don't properly have a place so we left them in the dining room but there was no problem. Also in the dining room there was a big leak on the ceiling, I give notice to the girl at the reception and she clean it.

The place has an excellent location, the dining room has an excellent view, it is in the middle of the town, is beautiful. The room is good size, we would appreciate a chair or a table. Bathroom was clean and people was nice.
