Room was nice enough - nothing fancy, but the beds were comfortable enough and the window opened very large (great during the heat wave). Shower was not the best - the hose is not really movable, and the temperature seemed to vary easily. Breakfast buffet, including hot food, was included, which was great to have, though it was not amazing food. Parking can be limited, but reception was able to provide alternatives if the lot and street parking were full - overall, no issue with parking. There is an attached bar that was enjoyable.

Tired old hotel, tiny room, low ceiling which isn’t great when you are 6ft tall. Food was poor too for the money

Overnight pre-ferry

Perfect for an overnight stay en route to the ferry. Has a public and hotel bar and short walk to a few other options.

The Kings Arms Hotel is located in a small village called Kyleakin just over the bridge when you arrive to the Isle of Skye. We stayed here because it was significantly cheaper than staying in Portree. Travelling by car, we spent a few days hiking around the island and actually enjoyed staying a bit more remotely. It made commuting to our hikes more timely, but we felt like we got to experience more of the island this way. The town is cozy with a few pubs to eat - basic food but fun, rural vibes. The hotel itself did just the trick. Nothing fancy but the room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was good and the staff were generally friendly and easy-going. Would stay here again.

I would not recommend: we could hear the conversations and the steps from the people in the room upstairs as if a paper sheet divided the two rooms. The bathroom was mouldy, the curtain was ripped, the bedroom we were given was tiny and absolutely depressing. Do not stay here if you have another option…

Scary shower

Lift was out of order. There was not enough parking. Reception was not friendly. Shower was a bathtub with a 1/2 glass partition. Terrifying to get in and out. So outdated. Shower had pink mold. Old towels were left in bathroom from prior guest. Place was run down.
