One of our rooms was not clean, particularly the bathroom. The beds were not comfortable, and it was overall clear that this hotel has been given minimum required maintenance for some time, rather than true upkeep. There was screaming and fighting in the hotel courtyard until 1 am when management was able to quiet the individuals involved. This hotel may have been adequate were we not led to have higher expectations. We left early despite being charged for 2 nights.

Room was nice enough - nothing fancy, but the beds were comfortable enough and the window opened very large (great during the heat wave). Shower was not the best - the hose is not really movable, and the temperature seemed to vary easily. Breakfast buffet, including hot food, was included, which was great to have, though it was not amazing food. Parking can be limited, but reception was able to provide alternatives if the lot and street parking were full - overall, no issue with parking. There is an attached bar that was enjoyable.

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…
