Portree, the largest town on the Isle of Skye, offers a range of budget-friendly hotels that put you close to the harbor, Somerled Square, and the town's main bus stop. Expect modest but clean en-suite rooms, friendly service, and practical perks like free WiFi and parking. Many properties serve a hearty continental or cooked breakfast to fuel your day of exploring the island's cliffs, castles, and walking trails.
Budget-wise, you can find rooms starting around £60-£80 per night for a double, with B&Bs and guest houses offering the best value. For a central base, consider staying near Somerled Square or along the harbor, where The Portree Hotel and The Rosedale Hotel sit. If you prefer quiet and free parking, The Thistle Guest Rooms and Greenacres (with a garden and sea views) are solid choices. Look out for properties like Loch Eyre House, which offers free private parking and is a short drive from town. Book ahead in summer, as the island gets busy quickly.
