Lovely place to stay. Our room overlooked the water and we had a view of Lews Castle. The staff were all friendly and helpful. If you get a chance, have dinner at the on-site restaurant.

Excellent hotel in Stornoway

This was our first time on Lewis and The Royal was an excellent base to explore the Isles of Lewis and Harris. The staff were friendly, the food superb and the room had everything we needed. Would use again.

4/10 Fair

Tired. In need of refurbishment. Reception staff were first class ....went the extra mile. Restaurant staff at breakfast were disinterested. Quality of buffet was ok but uninspiring. No lift, so be careful if you have heavy luggage. Car parking tight and not obvious to find. Remember you are on the Outer Isles😃😃😃😃

The Royal is a very nice hotel. The only negative it is located on a busy highway. The road noise can be a problem to light sleepers. Great location for ferry users.
