About this property

Stornoway's most historic hotel, the Royal nestles in the heart of Stornoway, beside the marina, where you can relax, enjoy the hotel's cozy character and enjoy dining in our Boatshed Restaurant or in HS1, the town's 1st cafe bar. If on business, you'll probably appreciate free wireless internet access available throughout the hotel. What matters so much more than bricks and mortar, though, is the warmth of the welcome and the friendly, easy service you'll receive - for the Hebrides has a great tradition of hospitality. While the Royal Hotel enjoys a delightful view over Lews Castle and its grounds. The town center is only around 656 feet walk.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.
