The staff was very nice and helpful. We ran into some unfortunate incident and they helped us ease and comfort and understanding. Breakfast was delicious and we had spectacular views of the town amd the lake.

If I ever visit Port tree I will definitely stay at this place. Book in advance. Recommend 6 months in advance

The Marmalade Hotel is in a nice location that’s just a short walk (about 1/2 mile) from the center of Portree and harbor. The property is a nice mix of an older renovated traditional structure (which houses the hotel lobby, guest lounge, and restaurant) and a new modern structure where the guest rooms are located. The property as a whole has a clean, contemporary feel and is well cared for. The rooms are clean, contemporary and modest with nice amenities. I would stay here again when I return to Portree.

The hotel is well located just a few minutes walk into the centre of Portree. The rooms are clean, well furnished and comfortable. We found the restaurant evening menu very limited. By comparison the breakfast menu was good. The absence a butter knife in the place setting was surprising and missed. The bar/ restaurant is poorly designed with guests having to stand at the bar to be served amongst the diners. Overall a nice hotel, well situated with nice rooms.

This building is beautifully situated with stunning views and lovely rooms. The restaurant was quite delicious, and again, had lovely views. We enjoyed the saunas although there was a technical problem on our second visit. The staff were friendly but not particularly professional or organised. There was a misunderstanding over a charge for what we thought was a complimentary upgrade (it was our honeymoon) which left things on a slightly sour note. All in all, still a nice stay in a very beautiful part of the world.

We were overall disappointed with our stay at the Marmalade.

Good:
Located in beautiful Portree on the Isle of Skye, right near the main square and centrally located on the Island. The room was well appointed and comfy.

Bad:
The door to our patio would not lock properly unless you forced it, almost to the point of breaking. Making dinner reservations at the restaurant was difficult. The gentlemen at the desk directed us to the restaurant but no one was there. We waited several minutes and looked around before going back to the desk where the woman whom now sat there happily made the reservations for us with no issue. The restaurant itself was underwhelming for both breakfast and dinner. While the food was serviceable, the quality did not match the price, especially for breakfast. The breakfast hostess did not welcome us the first morning we went. We stood at the podium waiting to be seated for almost ten minutes before she noticed us. She sat on her laptop at one of the tables. We had no idea she was the hostess, we thought she was a guest or we would have said something. It was frustrating. When we checked out, our bill was not correct. Their system was down due to weather messing with the power and WiFi, but after explaining multiple times we paid our dinner bill at dinner, so should only be charged for three breakfasts, it still wasn't correct when they sent it by email. They undercharged, so I let it be.

Unfortunately, I would not stay here again.

Cancelled our reservation when we arrived on a Monday only to find that the restaurant is closed Sunday & Monday. This information is not on their website and it should be very prominent when you make a booking, even if it is through a 3rd party like Expedia. They bury the info in small print towards the bottom of the booking confirmation, No help at all regarding an evening meal despite my wife being a brain injury survivor. A shocking company with no compassion and not at all helpful. They hide key information and then won't refund. I wouldn't trust them on iota.

So this was advertised as \"luxury hotel\". Far from it. I paid over 500 a night for basically a box with a tiny window almost on the ceiling that overlooked the parking lot. Staff dressed in suits/formal attire, but that does not a luxury hotel make. Feel really ripped off, avoid this overpriced hotel. Location was good, so at least that is something.

The hotel was very pretty and the people working in the dining room were lovely and somebody who was new at reception I believe her name was Mina was very kind and compassionate, but we had the worst most disrespectful experience and it colored our stay by someone named Kerry. This person should never work with customers. Apparently she has her own bed-and-breakfast on the side, but I can’t imagine she was absolutely shaming And inappropriate involving other customers in a disagreement in front of my young child. It was honestly the most upsetting hotel experience I have ever had because of this woman who was rude, disrespectful, and quite frankly seemed like she did not like people.

5 star luxury boutique hotel that was either recently just built or fully renovated. Breakfast was amazing and included in the pricing. Trail mix and mineral water was provided free of charge each day.

Property looks like a renovated period property in online pictures but most of the rooms are in a modern wing. Our room had no view and was quite noisy at night. There was an extensive power outage during the second night of our stay and no breakfast was served the following morning. Staff said this was a safety issue with food not being refrigerated for a number of hours but we felt they could have at least offered some non perishable items... bread, dry cereal, etc. To be fair, they did offer us compensation for not offering breakfast that morning.

While the hotel’s interior design is commendable and its location convenient being close to the town centre, my overall experience was far from satisfactory. The bathroom was particularly disappointing. Shower water pressure was extremely weak, likely due to an inadequate supply system. Given the price the hotel charged, such issues should not occur. Additionally, the sound of flushing from other rooms was clearly audible, indicating poor bathroom design. Breakfast was another letdown. The presentation was unappealing and food was excessively salty. Furthermore, the absence of a lift means guests must carry their luggage up and down the stairs which is highly inconvenient. Overall, this hotel does not justify its price. I would not recommend booking a stay here.

We were so excited to stay at The Marmalade Hotel. However, this hotel misses the mark in a few categories:
We were left to carry our luggage up the stairs (no elevator).
The staff sort of half-heartedly answers questions about area restaurants/sights.
Our room's thermostat was not working properly and we roasted on the first night. We tried getting help, but the night shift woman didn't know how the control worked. The next day we found out that the receptionist needed to turn our HVAC system on with a switch behind the front desk! There was not an apology for our hot, sleepless night. An apology would've gone a long way.

At check in, I was asked to pay for the stay despite already having prepaid through Expedia. I was refunded promptly once I showed the confirmation email. The hotel room itself is nice and quiet. We stayed in hoping for room service but it was not being offered. Two employees told us they are short staffed and don’t normally work the positions they were in, hence all the confusion. The rate is quite high for the lack of service and amenities you get at the hotel. Next time, I’ll look for a hotel for on the water instead.
