The Royal is a very nice hotel. The only negative it is located on a busy highway. The road noise can be a problem to light sleepers. Great location for ferry users.

Cozy and comfortable
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.

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.
