I have stayed at this hotel twice within the last month. To say it does not deserve its 3 stars is an understatment I would barely award it 1! The staff there can not be faulted. The service amazing. However, the staff are overworked and this sometimes shows. Talking to one of the waiters I was amazed to find out... More

This is a place where you should never go to if you want a meal or drink in lerwick went there last week with friends while in the area, We waited for around 15 minutes to be served i was met by a dark haired rather buxom girl who was more interested in playing with her phone than giving me...

This hotel is, so I'm totld by the locals, the poor tired sister of the Queens Hotel which is owned by the same group KGQ Ltd. On arrival you enter, which would have been in its earlier days very elaborate, but today is a large bland area with a staircase leading up what one would call a 'compact' reception area... More

No part of the hotel is level with famous stone slabs of wind-sheltered Commercial Street and a spooky entrance leads to a double flight of stairs covered with a very worn carpet. The small staff double up on their various tasks, but appear when summoned. High ceilings and dreary wallpaper add to the depressing ambience, and strange Bar can avoided.... More

Hotels in Lerwick are not great , in my experience they are expensive and tired with a mixture of service standards. The Grand is owned by KGO Hotels along with the Queens , the Grand is in the middle of Commercial Street - the centre of Lerwick , where things get noisy in the evening and at weekends. My room...

I didn't actually stay at The Grand (a misnomer if ever there was one) but I attempted, unsuccessfully, to dine there. We were on Commercial Street at 5pm and saw a blackboard that had been placed in the hotel entrance which stated bar meals were available from 5.30pm. We went in, intending to have a drink until the kitchen opened.... More

OK, Lerwick is not a gastronomic paradise, however the Grand is expensive for what is offered. The Hotel has no clearly identifiable name outside (never a good sign) and is shabby with staff obviously hired in-between other jobs. Dinner was a surprise. The surprise being that what was served was not exactly what was described on the menu. As an... More

May once have been grand but not now. A bit smelly when you come in the back entrance (smoke and toilets) and dated inside. My room had three single beds in it, was dingy nd felt cold due to the lack of atmosphere. The seagulls (no fault of the hotel) were the wake up call at 0400 each morning. I'm... More
