“Too Hotel & Restaurant in Stornaway”

Excellent hotel and restaurant with excellent staff who understand what great customer service means. Their restaurant is better, on a like for like comparison, with the so called best restaurant in the town!

First time staying in the hotel. First impressions were good - nice open and relaxed reception area. Checking in was very easy and friendly staff. Room was good, Nespresso machine and lovely Stornoway shortbread waiting for me. Room was spotless (as was the rest of the hotel). It was a bit farther out of the centre of the town than I realised (about 15 minute walk) but the flip side of that was the area was nice an quiet and very close to golf course, gardens for a nice evening walk. Breakfast was very good – I had the Eggs Stornoway (local take on eggs benedict)! There were also a hot buffet and continental selection. Had an early start on check out day but the continental choice was available from 05:00 so was able to eat before leaving. I would definitely stay again.

Following a cool, lacklustre welcome, I found my room comfortable, clean and quiet. The public areas were very pleasant and the waiting staff were delightful. The food wasn't as good as on previous stays although the scrambled eggs at breakfast were really delicious. This hotel is THE place to stay in Stornoway. Just try being a bit more welcoming.

“NOT BAD BUT WITH ONE MAJOR DRAWBACK”

This hotel, on its website, claims to be "a four-star haven of comfort and style" and during my stay was apparently very busy. But it was actually so quiet and peaceful (car park practically empty, dining room pretty much same, breakfast - only two other couples). Suited me perfectly! The decor is… lisää

This hotel, on its website, claims to be "a four-star haven of comfort and style" and during my stay was apparently very busy. But it was actually so quiet and peaceful (car park practically empty, dining room pretty much same, breakfast - only two other couples). Suited me perfectly! The decor is a little tired and dated as was my single room but it has a slight up market feel, is clean and comfortable with well appointed rooms and bathrooms. My room had a Nespresso coffeemaker which was a nice addition I enjoyed. Being on the top floor at the end of the corridor and at the back meant it was quiet enough for me (as a light sleeper). Despite the view of the building tip out of the window (see photo), I was happy with it. The floorboards did squeak as I moved around and I wonder if rooms below would have been so quiet. I did find the room a bit hot despite it being cool outside that I had to open the window AND strip off (thus having to close the heavy blackout type curtains and turn the lights on in the middle of the day). Other reviews mention hot rooms and management ought to take this more seriously - despite the geographic location! The breakfast selection is brilliant and of a decent quality (plus I asked for "strong" coffee - and that is hat I got - thank you) but the main drawback is that the cooked breakfast is COLD. I love a cooked breakfast and this spoiled it for me. It's a buffet so you can help yourself to as much as you like but the food is just lukewarm and once put onto cold plates it cools down rapidly. My breakfast was stone cold by the time I was eating my final forkfuls. Real disappointment and prevents the fifth star. Please invest in a platewarmer and up the temperature of the cooked breakfast "hot plate" containers.
