The Portree Hotel

The Portree Hotel is on Somerland Square, Portree. It overlooks the square. There is parking in the Square which is chargeable. Disabled car parking is free in any bay and also in the designated disable car parking bays. A Blue Badge must be displayed at all times. We stayed at this Hotel twice during May. The first occasion was for three nights (£510.00) and a week later for three nights (£765.00) on a Bed and Breakfast basis. When booking in August 2023 I expected to pay a deposit but was required to pay the total amount £1275.00 at the time of booking. The room we were allocated was well appointed with good views over the Square. The reception staff were friendly. The Restaurant was a different matter. The restaurant area was more like a pub bar rather than an hotel restaurant. The staff whilst not rude seemed to have a take it or leave it attitude to customers. Table allocation always seemed to be a problem even though we had booked Dinner each night. The staff seemed to struggle with the tablets used for the system Food was expensive and not of the best quality. We were disappointed. The breakfasts and dinners on a couple occasions the food was over cooked. For the price we paid I expected higher quality. Some of the restaurant staff require extra training in customer service. As an hotel resident we did expect better attitudes. Dinner on most night cost us around £90.00 to £100.00. Eating at other pubs and restaurants was not feasible as most used a queueing system and were very busying from before opening to when they stopped serving, All in all this was an expensive experience costing around £2000.00 for five nights accommodation. Would I recommend staying her? I don't think I would. There is better and cheaper accommodation elsewhere in Portree.

Our family of 4 adults stayed at The Portree Hotel in 2 rooms for 2 nights. The cozy doubles and the hotel were as described. The made to order breakfasts were perfect! We were not able to eat dinner at the hotel either night as pre-booking is a necessity. Portree is a great location to explore Isle of Skye. All areas of interest are within driving distance.
