The Royal Hotel is a very good choice for your stay in Stornoway.
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…

Lovely hotel - we really enjoyed staying there.
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…
