Fiona

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Overall, very good, but...
Overall very good but... The breakfast was amazingly good but we ate elsewhere in the evening because the evening menu was very poor for vegetarians. Also, the window in our room did not shut fully which made it a bit noisy as we were above the kitchen extractors. The staff were attentive so have probably fixed it now.

The hotel was so cozy and comfortable. Very nicely decorated and great beds and chairs in the rooms. Everything was spotless. The staff were really accommodating despite all of our off the wall requests. So much care is put into the food, it would fit in easily with any upscale New York City cafe.

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.

Loved Portree and this hotel. Our only suggestion would be to book dining reservations in advance. We BARELY got in for dinner after trying 5-6 restaurants as a walk-up. And this was early in the season (3rd week of April). The brunch at the hotel is great, but I'd also book that early if you want an early start out on the trails.
