Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Western Isles Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Western Isles Hotel offers guests superb views of Tobermory harbour and the bay from many vantage points, including the dining area and some of the bright, spacious rooms, such as the Glenlivet. Guests appreciate the generous breakfasts and the quality of the restaurant, where regional drinks are also available at the well-stocked bar. While most find the location ideal-just a short walk to the harbour-some guests have mentioned that the prices can be a little expensive for what you get. The hotel also offers unique features such as local artwork and a room designed by Banjo.

Decent Location, Underwhelming Stay

lack elevatorlukewarm breakfast
The lack of an elevator was a real problem. Hauling luggage to the upper floors was exhausting and inconvenient. The breakfast buffet was disappointing! Many of the hot items were barely lukewarm. The scrambled eggs were especially unappetizing. They tasted bland and rubbery.

drafty windowlukewarm food
I was a little disappointed with a couple of things. the window in my "double room sea view" didn't seal properly, so there was a constant draft. It was quite distracting. also, the cooked breakfast items at the buffet were often lukewarm. the location was perfect! though the parking was expensive.

Very nice Harbour Views and Friendly Service

sea viewcomfortable mattressbreakfast selectionlift absence
The room upgrade to a sea view room was a treat. It was clean and spacious. The mattress offered great comfort, and the television size was adequate for the room. I found the staff helpful. They quickly addressed a minor issue I reported. I also enjoyed the wide variety of food at breakfast. The selection was abundant.
The absence of a lift made transporting luggage to the upper floors challenging. This should be addressed with mobility issues or heavy bags.
