Tired old hotel, tiny room, low ceiling which isn’t great when you are 6ft tall. Food was poor too for the money

The Kings Arms Hotel is located in a small village called Kyleakin just over the bridge when you arrive to the Isle of Skye. We stayed here because it was significantly cheaper than staying in Portree. Travelling by car, we spent a few days hiking around the island and actually enjoyed staying a bit more remotely. It made commuting to our hikes more timely, but we felt like we got to experience more of the island this way. The town is cozy with a few pubs to eat - basic food but fun, rural vibes. The hotel itself did just the trick. Nothing fancy but the room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was good and the staff were generally friendly and easy-going. Would stay here again.

I would not recommend: we could hear the conversations and the steps from the people in the room upstairs as if a paper sheet divided the two rooms. The bathroom was mouldy, the curtain was ripped, the bedroom we were given was tiny and absolutely depressing. Do not stay here if you have another option…

Scary shower

Lift was out of order. There was not enough parking. Reception was not friendly. Shower was a bathtub with a 1/2 glass partition. Terrifying to get in and out. So outdated. Shower had pink mold. Old towels were left in bathroom from prior guest. Place was run down.

Overall, this property was what we needed for the night we got onto Skye. We found the staff to be helpful and the bathroom was updated. While the room itself seemed older and was small, the furnishings were new enough and it was clean. We thought this was a good value hotel for the money especially considering the breakfast that was included which provided many options. The location was convenient as well.

Our first stop on Skye before travelling up to Staffin. Very comfortable, the room comfortable, if not very large. Nice staff, we were served by a young girl called Lily in the restaurant - what a lovely, smiling face! Thank you!
