Poor value for money I was very disappointed with my stay here in both the condition of my room and the quality of the dinner I had on my first nights stay there . My single room - cost £361.99 for 2 nights stay - It was extremely small The paint was peeling off the wall next to the bed and also on the bathroom ceiling . TV was mounted on the wall whereby soffit watch from the bed - a simple solution would be a swivel mounted tv stand . The view from the room showned stuff / rubbish thrown on the grass .

Very disappointing. Very poor value for money . I booked a superior single room as shown on the hotel site - image was not the same as in reality In my opinion it was total misrepresentation Room in reality was very small , paint peeling off the wall , difficult to watch tv as at a total different angle to the bed - not mounted on a swivel bracket . The view from the room was stuff all dumped in the garden - terrible view! I ordered freshly caught Haddock for dinner the first evening which was mainly batter and very little fish very disappointed. Breakfast was excellent Staff were professional other than one receptionist who couldn’t provide me with information as to where I should visit or how to get to anywhere in Stornoway bearing in mind I had never been to the Western Isles and told her this . I did speak to the manager about the above issue and he was very apologetic and said he didn’t know about the room being in that condition . He offered me a free dinner on my 2nd night there - I had Haddock again which was much superior to the previous evening There was actually fish and not just batter in the dinner which I thanked him for but declined . I wasn’t complaining to get a free dinner. I wi

Wonderful Stay at the “Cabar”

This is a lovely hotel. It is said to be the best on the island. Food is great. The rooms are comfortable and immaculate. Service is first rate. The manager, Marcus, is charming and informative. I would absolutely stay here again.

We really enjoyed staying at the Cabarfeidh hotel where we stayed for 3 nights. The staff is very polite and helpful, our room was spacious and modern, 3 breakfasts and 1 dinner were great and always presented w a smile. The location is excellent- the royal gardens are just across the street and the co- op is about a 5 min walk. It is an easy walk to downtown. We would definitely come back to this hotel and recommend it highly.
