Very cute little room, friendly and helpful staff, and excellent food. We didn’t roam too far for food and even came back later in our trip to come back for a last meal. They accommodated our dietary restrictions with excellent alternatives. Fantastic stay!!

The room was spacious and clean, but needed soundproofing. The bathroom needed a tub. The view of the castle was very nice. The restaurant was bustling, the food was tasty. The staff were friendly.

Fair price for accommodation but menu was pricey and could do with a coup of traditional meals apart from that really enjoyed my time in Stornaway

I loved the Royal Hotel. Everyone that works there was friendly and helpful. The room was very cozy and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner was delicious. I enjoyed the location. It was easy to set off on day trips to see the sights on the island and come back for a great night’s sleep. My favorite thing were the stone circles, which were not far from Stornoway. It was perfect for me.

Lovely property, conveniently located at the lovely harbour. Gorgeous views and wonderful staff. Many dining options around, but the restaurant in the hotel is fantastic! They even had vegan sticky toffee pudding for my travel partner!

Clean, comfortable and conveniently located for early morning ferry. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Boatshed restaurant, which is connected to the hotel.

The staff was great, and location in central Stornoway. Beds comfortable, not the hard mattresses so common. Two improvements: more plugs for recharging (including USB) and better water pressure for the shower.

The Royal is a great place for one night stop over in Stornoway. Gordon, who works at the front desk, was lovely. The staff in the dining room were both kind and professional. Diner in the hotel restaurant was superb. Bravo! And thank you!
