Budget Accommodation Portree Isle of Skye Scotland


Budget Accommodation Portree Isle of Skye Scotland.

The Portree Independent Hostel offers Budget Accommodation on the Isle of Skye off the West Coast of Scotland.

The reception and lounge is the original post office counter area, still with the original safe, clock, service counter and poste restante pigeonholes, and nowadays has a TV and comfy sofas. The hostel sleeps 60 in rooms with up to four beds, whilst there are larger dormitories sleeping 6, 10 and 12. One dorm is suitable for disabled guests with an en-suite wheelchair-friendly bathroom. I stayed in one of the larger dorms which unfortunately also housed some drunken louts which made for a very uncomfortable night.
Within easy walking distance are all necessary amenities, including Somerfield supermarket just a couple of blocks away, banks with cash machines, the main tourist information centre, car and bicycle hire, as well as a variety of eating places and several excellent pubs with regular live music (no curfew as passkeys are available).
