Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a superb location overlooking the harbor, offering basic facilities and a good bathroom. The breakfast provided was satisfactory, but some rooms lacked windows that open. The overall value for money was fair, considering the amenities and services.
The hotel is perfectly located, right in the center of the city and close to all the shops in Stornoway. The rooms offer a nice view and have good bathrooms, but they lack shower gel and shampoo. The service is excellent with attentive housekeeping and even pet amenities available. The dining includes delicious regional products. Overall, the hotel provides a great experience, but it could improve by offering shower essentials in the rooms.
