Breakfast madness
The room was clean and had everything you needed although basic. Used as a coach stop so breakfast was awful with loads of people and stuff running out all the time.
I will not be staying again.

Kings arms hotel
Hotel was easy to find ,reception was friendly and informative , room was clean and tidy . Only downside was at breakfast , both mornings we were there , there was no eggs , we spent about half a hour eating our breakfast and no eggs appeared . We asked a member of staff each morning why there was no eggs and he just shrugged his shoulders , for the price we paid for breakfast this was not very good value for money

Lovely building - needs renovation
The Hotel Manager told us there was a staff shortage. That aside, our room was not cleaned once in three days. Bins were not emptied. The tea and coffee not replenished. We went to Reception on Day 2, to ask why. We were given a hanging door sign to request that it be cleaned. Came back that evening - not cleaned. We went back to Reception to get clean towels etc. You pay for a hotel so this kind of thing is done for you.

hotel was clean enough,however there was no shampoo or shower gel in bathrooom.there was only 1 toilet roll and it wasn't even a full one.there were tea making facilities but there were no spoons.there was no fire safety instructions in the room.stayed for 2 nights and housekeeping did not do our room or change the towels which was a bit inconvenient as there was no towel rail in the bathroom where you could hang the towels to dry.but the worst thing i found was the fact that the large bathroom window had clear glass in it,there was no blind but it did have a curtain,but the window was on a slant so even if you closed it there was still a big gap at either side

The King Arms Hotel is a great place to stay if you’re wanting to explore Skye or the western coastline of the mainland. Clean and comfortable, will stay again!

My experience
Basic template for your hotel review:
The room was not that clean. For example, it is not nice to find someone else’s dental floss on the carpet, coffee stains around the kettle. Even though we had booked 3 people for 3 nights, both the shampoo and body wash containers were empty. The next morning before leaving for the day’s activities, we politely asked to get refills which did not seem a problem to the front desk. On our return later that evening, the bottles had not been refilled. Inquiring a second time, we were surprised to be told that we should bring the bottles down ourselves to be refilled. Even though ended up the staff came up and refilled it, but it wasn't a good experience. The bathroom is newly done but the room is outdated and the mattresses are very old and no support.

A great hotel on the river bank, beside the Skye Bridge, great food and prices, bonus of a great Scottish breakfast, favourite Island and the drive from Glasgow is pretty spectacular...
