Had an awful experience with the Kings Arms Hotel in Kyleakin. We showed up and were immediately told that there was no room available for us and that we had to be outbooked to another B&B. This would have been fine if we had not been traveling with friends and had been notified of this inconvenience beforehand. In any case,... More

Have been staying there while doing work in that area and yes the hotel is old but surely that's the point ?? The rooms are very clean, the food is amazing and the staff are just so friendly and helpful and can't do enough. Highly recommended :)

From the outside, this Hotel looks great, and has great views. It has off-street parking and an old, groaning lift which took us to our basic room. We're not Hotel snobs - so long as we're comfortable and the place is clean, we're usually pretty happy. We were told we had to book for dinner (only time available 6.30pm). Dinner... More
