Stornoway on a very stormy December night and the Roayl Hotel was a reasonable overnight stop. Comfortable and clean. It has the overall feel off an old style hotel which has not quite yet caught up with modern hotel standards. Room clean and comfortable but bathroom a bit dated and definitely needing upgraded. Price wise it was expensive for what... More

Stayed for two nights during the Mod in October. Very reasonable prices and a very nice twin room - we were at the front and although it got a bit windy (we were too hot as the heating had been on, and fell asleep with the window open and a force 10 gale blowing outside!), not too much noise from...

First time to the isles of Lewis and the royal hotel reception staff were very welcoming on arrival and the dinner I had was outstanding well done to all staff. I would like to say thank you to the night porter that got my car going in the morning as it would not start many thanks. Tell him I got... More

This was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in for quite some time. First, the room, while not overly large, was a decent enough size with a very comfortable bed. Both bedroom and bathroom were impeccably clean. The bedroom had television with a lot of channels to choose from and the hospitality tray a lovely choice of black... More

Located near to Stornoway's harbour, this hotel's staff were really helpful, but the bedrooms needed refurbishing. Restaurant food wasn't cheap, but was surprisingly good. Service at breakfast was a bit amateur; one group we saw had great problems making themselves understood to the waitress, whose English wasn't really up to her role. Overall, not bad for a short stay. Free... More

This is going to be one of those reviews that you just can't help thinking is a plant. Not so. We stayed in the Royal Hotel In Stronoway for our wedding anniversary in Sept 2011. We were spending the week in Ullapool and thought a trip to Lewis for one night would add something special to the occassion. I had... More

We were given a room at the front of the hotel for a Friday and Saturday night stay and found it very noisy indeed particularly as the local "nightlife" finished . Our experience featured boy racers and their loud stereos as well as plenty of drunks. Unfortunately, there was no double glazing in the rather dated room. Outside the window... More

The Royal is not new but it is quaint. There are some areas that could use improvement like window frames are badly worn, carpet is old and thinning in some areas but what you get for the money is great. Breakfast is included, free WiFi and free car parking. The room I had was made up of two very comfortable... More

Our Saturday evening ferry from Ullapool ran over 4 hours late as it had broken down earlier in the day, so we first tasted Stornoway a little after 1.30 a.m. Mercifully the Royal was the one out-of-the-way place I had booked on this trip that had 24-hour reception, so, having picked our way through exuberant homegoing clubbers in the streets,...
