Kings arms hotel

Hotel was easy to find ,reception was friendly and informative , room was clean and tidy . Only downside was at breakfast , both mornings we were there , there was no eggs , we spent about half a hour eating our breakfast and no eggs appeared . We asked a member of staff each morning why there was no eggs and he just shrugged his shoulders , for the price we paid for breakfast this was not very good value for money

The breakfast buffet was found to have several items, such as bacon and scrambled egg to be colder than should have been.

Lovely building - needs renovation

The Hotel Manager told us there was a staff shortage. That aside, our room was not cleaned once in three days. Bins were not emptied. The tea and coffee not replenished. We went to Reception on Day 2, to ask why. We were given a hanging door sign to request that it be cleaned. Came back that evening - not cleaned. We went back to Reception to get clean towels etc. You pay for a hotel so this kind of thing is done for you.

The hotel has a very outdated look and feel. This made me feel not too comfortable during my stay. However the location is good, just at the beginning of Isle of Skye.

My experience

Basic template for your hotel review: The room was not that clean. For example, it is not nice to find someone else’s dental floss on the carpet, coffee stains around the kettle. Even though we had booked 3 people for 3 nights, both the shampoo and body wash containers were empty. The next morning before leaving for the day’s activities, we politely asked to get refills which did not seem a problem to the front desk. On our return later that evening, the bottles had not been refilled. Inquiring a second time, we were surprised to be told that we should bring the bottles down ourselves to be refilled. Even though ended up the staff came up and refilled it, but it wasn't a good experience. The bathroom is newly done but the room is outdated and the mattresses are very old and no support.

Great location and good value for the price. We enjoyed our dinners. Breakfast buffet at 7:45 AM was disappointing because the food was almost cold, although the selection was ok. Most of the staff were very good but one young lady at breakfast was very unfriendly and moody.

Verified traveller

hotel was clean enough,however there was no shampoo or shower gel in bathrooom.there was only 1 toilet roll and it wasn't even a full one.there were tea making facilities but there were no spoons.there was no fire safety instructions in the room.stayed for 2 nights and housekeeping did not do our room or change the towels which was a bit inconvenient as there was no towel rail in the bathroom where you could hang the towels to dry.but the worst thing i found was the fact that the large bathroom window had clear glass in it,there was no blind but it did have a curtain,but the window was on a slant so even if you closed it there was still a big gap at either side

Great location but our room was very cold despite putting the heater on when we arrived: two light bulbs were not working and the sink taps had no water. This problem was sorted very quickly. The TV remote control needed new batteries

I understand why others have rated this property poorly however I suspect they had high expectations. Whilst my room was not perfect it was perfectly adequate with plenty of hot water, a bed and a TV. All I needed for a single night stay for work. The local area isn't great for getting supplies so arrive with everything you need. Other than that have a cheap stay with nice views, or pay double elsewhere if you need the luxuries.

Needed more time!

Beautiful location, we didn’t eat in the hotel for dinner we used Saucy Mary Restaurant which was excellent for the price and we also walked up to the castle ruin on the hill near the harbour which was lovely to watch the sun go down. We had the window seat for breakfast which gave that little bit extra to a really lovely breakfast. Parking was easy as well. We will return once I’ve recovered from all the driving
