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.

Enjoyed our short stay at the Royal!
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!

Great welcome from the team only to be disappointed come morning. I was told continental breakfast started at 05.30 and this was perfect for me so I could grab something quick on my way out the door only to find the place in darkness and the staff member asleep on a sofa in the restaurant. Not a great end to my stay.
