Boatyard restaurant is very good, Room price does not include breakfast - and it is a high priced room

We enjoyed our stay in the Royal Hotel. The hotel is in a very convenient location for walking into Stornoway. Our room was very small, but it had everything we needed, including tea and coffee. We had a lovely view of the harbor and Lews Castle across the bay. We did not hear much traffic noise from our upper room. The staff was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful, from the receptionists to the servers in the two restaurants. The breakfasts and dinners were very good.
This was not a problem for us, but you might want to know that the hotel has no elevator. Other than this and the small size of our bedroom, we were very happy with our stay here.

Lovely hotel with an excellent restaurant. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Large room with a nice view. Comfortable bed.
It was a bit overpriced, especially when they charged us £60 extra for two dogs for two nights without even providing a water bowl!

Right in front of a castle however there was a scaffold in our window. In fairness to the hotel they did call us a few days before we arrived to advise our view would be partially obstructed but by that point we wouldn’t have had an easy time finding other accommodations. Since we were only there a short time, we overlooked it. Close proximity to the town.
No special accommodations for hotel guests at the restaurant or bar. When we attempted to just buy a bottle of wine, we stood at the bar for a bit while the staff was too busy to assist. The second night we went we had a better experience and the hostess was very kind and we could tell she was seating people, answering questions, working the bar AND waitressing so we then changed how we felt. They were just REALLY busy.
