Went there in July, the view from the window is really beautiful. The room is big, heater is functional but not quite enough. Shower water pressure is a bit low, other than that it’s a nice and cozy place. They also offer full Scottish breakfast which is not bad.

My friends and I were thirsty so popped in here for a quick beer and ended up staying much longer. It has the feel of a proper 'local' and the regulars were as friendly as the staff. A decent selection of beers and ciders is available, but the craic is priceless.

Have stayed here on a few occasions and never been let down. Lovely staff and a great breakfast to start the day. ||Situated on the row of brightly coloured buildings on the pier the views are just amazing||Lovely restaurant attached and also plenty food options close by

I'm going to value the restaurant, not the hotel since I didn't stay there.The attention was not good, the girl was constantly clueless, with a small living room that was still big for her.In the soup the potatoes were clearly undercooked, and the salmon passed in cooking time.The mussels had hardly any flavour, they were not well cleaned and also had too much cooking.As for the salmon, it was acceptable, but nothing extraordinary, in addition to the fact that the amount was very small for the price of the dish.The restaurant has a good score here on Maps, and it surprised us for bad... maybe it was just a bad day or maybe it has more score than it really deserves.

We went to the Pier Hotel (the blue one of Portree's famed coloured houses at the port) for dinner only. It was a small room restaurant right on Portree Harbour with only about 8 tables. We booked but when we arrived at 6pm on a Saturday night it appeared to be first come first served and were glad to find a table still available - others arriving later were asked to wait in the hotel bar until they were called.The menu was focused on seafood but not extensive but the food we ate was superb. My wife had the scallops and the langoustine (the last a daily special) and was in raptures. I had vegetarian fajitas which was very good indeed. We made room for a shared desert which also was well appreciated.

A fantastic pint of Guinness and a proper West Highland bar with friendly bar staff who knew their stuff. Doesn't get any better for me as a place to drink!

Lovely, very clean, quiet location beside the water. We enjoyed watching the ferry coming and going to the harbour opposite. Liked the fridge as well as the hospitality tray. …

Stayed two nights in early June.Positives: nice views of the pier from the hotel. Clean linens and towels. Helpful ladies in the kitchen, prepared nice warm Scottish breakfast every morning. Walkable everywhere, for that matter Portree is a very small town.Negatives:Rooms are very basic (stayed in Room#1). Bathroom barely usable, more of a walk in wardrobe size. Super small Wash basin with two separate hot water and cold water taps with super hot and super cold water respectively. Can’t figure out how to use those- can be changed to water mixing taps? Wall mounted water heater in shower, with water fluctuating between super hot and super cold by itself. Kitchen is not open for lunch/dinner. Portree does not have a lot of restaurants, and mostly are booked way in advance. Limited dinner options.

I am always a little wary when a hotel or B&B has been rated so highly, especially when I know how picky my wife can be but we were absolutely not let down in any way at Old Pier Cottage. …
