La chambre était petite et étroite, mais propre. Le vent soufflait par les fenêtres fermées, donc le sillement était désagréable. Aussi, l'insonorisation n'était pas bonne. On entendait tout dans le corridor et au dessus de nous. Il y a eu de vacarme toute la nuit. C'était ordinaire, surtout pour le prix.

Correcto, sin más

Habitación limpia y tamaño justo. Lo bueno es que está en el centro. Se paga mucho para lo que es. Es más recomendable los B&B que hay a los alrededores, mismos servicios y al menos 35% más baratos.

Tipica locanda scozzese con pub sotto e camere sopra. Atmosfera carina, personale gentile e divertente, gestore alla mano. Le camere e il bagno sono molto piccole e nei corridoi aleggia un odore di cibo cucinato e stantìo. Non brilla per pulizia, ma si può respirare aria autentica del luogo se si beve qualcosa nella chiassosa e divertente locanda.

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.
