Overpriced for what it is – more like a hostel tha

The location of the Tongadale Hotel is decent, right in the centre of Portree. That said, Portree itself is incredibly crowded, which probably explains the high prices – but still, the value just isn’t there. The hotel really feels more like a hostel with a hefty price tag. It’s situated above a pub, which tells you a lot about the atmosphere. The food was passable but significantly overpriced for the quality. The room felt more like student accommodation than a proper hotel – basic, uncomfortable and not cleaned daily, which was disappointing. Overall, it just didn’t meet expectations for the price. On a positive note, the service was very good. Special thanks to Caitlin in the restaurant, who was friendly and shared great local tips – she was the highlight of our stay. Still, I wouldn’t stay there again.

Comfortable stay with complimentary breakfast

I had a comfortable stay at the Tongadale hotel. It's an old building but well maintained. Room and bathroom were compact but comfortable. One thing to be careful about is the bathroom shower. Make sure you figure out how the hot and cold settings work before using the shower. Breakfast was really good and they had a vegan option.

Location was good but dining options limited as most places required reservations prior to stay on the Isle of Skye. The shopping area was limited as well due to shops closing around 4pm or 5pm. The property itself was ok, no frills, you literally got a bed and breakfast. The true essence of a B&B.

Needs some loving. Lots of little things that show it's not being cared for. Handle on the window snapped off leaving it stuck slightly open, the edges of the wall paper on the ceiling starting to peal off, TV on the wall didn't work. Breakfast was nice. But major thing for me was the live band playing in the bar till 11pm ment zero chance of sleeping they had finished.

Great location, portree is very small but the parking area is close to the hotel. It is also very close to the colorful view of the coast buildings. It wasn't a problem for us but keep in mind that there is no lift. Beds where comfortable, staff was very friendly. Clean bathroom, with good pressure shower.

The room was incredibly basic— the equivalent of a college dorm room. In addition to the sparseness of the room, our sleep was disrupted by loud noise that permeated the room, including noises from someone in the room above us, who was up at 5:00 am, as well as incredibly loud noises that emanated from the plumbing— it sounded like a freight train.

It was very clean for quite an old building. We booked and stayed in a twin room - it does the job if you're looking to stay near Isle of Skye. Nice shower. Breakfast was good. No parking available.

Very very grateful for the staff here. We unfortunately got in late, and should have called ahead. Luckily someone heard us knocking on the door, and they checked us in after it was closed! Thank God - or we would have been sleeping in the car. Huge shoutout again to this hotel and for helping us out in such a pinch!

For the price and location in busy Portree I shouldn’t complain, but the stay wasn’t great. The restaurant was convenient and good, and they served a hearty Scottish breakfast. The parking was the biggest problem. With nowhere to park nearby, I had to do so at a car park five minutes away. The noise from the pub below could be heard until late. Part of the Scottish experience.
