Stayed 2 nights in a Superior Room. It is right in the middle of town just back from the harbour front so ideal. There is a pay and display council carpark adjacent which charges during the day Mon-Sat but free at nighttime. Modern construction behind (I think) an old facade). Rooms might lack a bit of character but make up... More

Brilliant location - handy for the town centre, the bus station and the harbour. Breakfasts quite good (apart from the institutional coffee), main meal was good and the bar was friendly and stocked Orkney beers. Let down by the souless communal areas; a comfy welcoming lounge area is sorely needed More

Well-priced room in central Kirkwall. Very well decorated room and bathroom recalling the "island" feel. Food in lounge bar good, but the decoration and service is not quite up to scratch with the room. No dedicated parking area but a town parking is just beside the hotel - just remember to feed the meter from 9am! More

Sayed in this hotel several times and the acommodation is first class beats some 4 * hotels in our main cities of scotland. The satff are very friendly and helpfull. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED More

Really big room with separate lounge area and second TV. Bed lovely and comfortable. Slightly gloomy with dark carpets and drapes (but keep the light out in high Summer!) - overall very good. Breakfasts were good, even fresh raspberries and blueberries and of course the full Scottish. Loads to see and do on Orkney and a couple of excellent restaurants... More

My wife and I visited Orkney on holiday in October, 2010. This little hotel was very nice and convenient to downtown. The room we had was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and very helpful. October may not be the best time to go sightseeing in Orkney, but we thoroughly enjoyed the visit and everyone was very helpful... More

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Albert Hotel in late May 2011. Very nice hotel, completely modernised inside. The bar food is good quality and inexpensive. We asked for a quiet room and were given a two room suite at the back of the hotel. The biggest problem is finding the hotel !. Mounthollie Lane is a... More

A good nights sleep is what everyone wants when they have to leave their own bed. I was worried having read a previous review which mentioned a noisy extractor or air con unit heard from room 201 (the very room i had booked). I bit the bullet and emailed Sheila at the hotel who was mystified and personally checked the... More

We booked this hotel on strength of Tripadvisor reports and it didn't disappoint. Lovely room (201) in eaves with lounge area and very smart bathroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had the Scottish breakfast both mornings which lasted us till evening - don't miss the black pudding! Only gripe is the slightly noisy airconditioning but it wasn't... More
