Apartment 1, Phoenix Flats

Wir konnten etwas früher einchecken und die Lage war wirklich Top. Nur eine Straße weg vom Hauptplatz.

In der Wohnung unter uns hat einer anderer Gast so laut geschnarcht, dass ich aufgewacht bin um 3 Uhr früh. Die Wände dürften nicht sehr dick sein. Und es gibt nur ein Bad für 4 Leute.

Location was great, and the flat was very comfortable.

Quality of mattresses could be better.

Sehr gute Lage. Großzügiger Parkplatz. Saubere und moderne Ausstattung. Sehr gute Vorab-Information.

Kleines Bad mit wenig Ablagemöglichkeiten für Handtücher. Sehr unbequeme Betten bzw. Matratzen.

Window views is not as shown but still decent. The location is at just outside of the town. It’s quiet and walkable to restaurants and the grocery store. The apartment comes with a parking space which is a big help in Portree.

This is my first time to give a “bad” review on any accommodations that I have experienced. The apartment is very dusty. A layer of dust rest on top of furniture even on top of beds’ headboards. We had to do a cleaning job before to open our luggage. Dust-bunny hanging over the top of a big mirror in the small hallway. No paper towels provided which was very inconvenient in a not clean apartment. Shampoo and detergent came with a busted dispenser or random bottles. The shower was so pathetic because very low water flow. It’s like you were showing in a mist. If to turn the volume a little higher, the temperature fluctuates to sudden high or to sudden cold. The drain was plugged. Even with a misty shower flow the dirty water would over flow the pan quickly. Kitchen table and chairs were squeezed into a corner. We notice a broken chair so we didn’t dare to pull the table out, so only one person could sit at the table. While I was using the kitchen sink, I smelled sort of sewer gas every time when the wash machine discharged. I don’t know the British standard, but I do think to connect a dish washer and a cloth washer to upper stream of the kitchen sink trap without an airgap is non-sanitary. Two single beds in the second bedroom were too short for a 5’-9” person. Blankets were too short to cover feet comfortably. Again, that could be different standards in Britain. The living room is small but with decent furniture. It’s just the fireplace was only for look. It didn’t help in these cold and super windy days while we were in Skye. Maybe we didn’t find a switch?

We loved how perfectly located the apartment was — just a short walk into Portree town and such a great base for exploring the Isle of Skye. The apartment was clean, spacious, and as advertised. The host’s thoughtful touches, like the snacks left for us, made us feel very welcome. Reliable Wi-Fi, a good TV setup, plus the washing machine and dishwasher made our stay even more comfortable.

The mattresses could use an update as they weren’t very comfortable, and the shower has incredibly low water pressure.

the two single beds are not suitable if you are 190 cm tall.. my son faced some difficulties ..

Gastvrije attenties: Er stond koffie en thee klaar om te gebruiken bij aankomst. Ook waren en koekjes, reepjes en ontbijtgranen in pakjes. Ook was er een afwasmachine met afwasblokjes, een wasmachine met wasmiddel en een droogrek voor de natte was. Vanuit dit appartement kijk je vanuit de woonkamer en keuken uit op de daken van het plaatsje Portree en zie je de zee. Verder is het appartement heel dicht bij het plein met de bushalte, en zijn alle winkeltjes binnen loopafstand.

Matras van het tweepersoonsbed is vrij zacht.
