In April my father and me made a little 3-day trip on the Orkney islands. We came from Caitness up with the ferry to Stromness, so we had to take a hotel there, and because the"Orca Hotel" had a price-service condition, we decided to stay there. The first impression , when you entrance the hotel is nice and very unnormal,... More

You get what you pay for and a bit more. Almost every review has mentioned the breakfast - not without cause. I agree with another reviewer who said it was the best she/he had ever had. 10/10 for quality! I was staying with two friends and we shared a room which was more than adequate for the three of us....

This B&B is in the centre of Stromness. It's a bit dated but clean, comfortable, quiet and inexpensive. It has all the facilities you'd expect for this level of accomodation. Stromness itself is a hole. Be sure to eat on the ferry if you're arriving late - the local pubs clearly can't be bothered to cater for the influx of... More

Very good low key hotel. Very friendly, clean etc. No evening meals or bar but the Royal Hotel is just across the road. And the best cooked breakfast I have ever had with locally sourced food and all before 7.15 am! Perfect!! More

We decided to use the Orca Hotel after reading previous reviews and must say that we were greatly impressed with all of its facilities and would definately return. The room was well equiped with all that was required including tea and coffee facilities. It was a pleasure to attend breakfast in the morning and receive such a friendly and satisfying... More

We have stayed here twice as we were so happy with the first visit. The rooms are very clean with TV, tea, coffee and biscuits topped up daily. The bathroom was modern, bright and clean. The hotel is situated on the main street of Stromness but you will have to leave the car at the top or bottom of the... More

This is a very conveniently situated hotel in the heart of the town - it is not 5 star but that is not what I paid for. There is parking nearby in the main square. My room was away from the front and so quiet (room 5) - it was however small and smelt musty each time I went inside.... More

The Orca Hotel is a handy two star B & B in the heart of Stromness within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal and perfectly situated to walk the quaint streets in the heart of the city. It is a bit difficult when traveling by car as the flagstone street accessing the hotel is narrow and congested and there... More

decided to make a last minute visit to Orkney - booked a room direct with the owner - as I was arriving late on the last ferry from Scrabster she advised me to eat on the ferry - that was good advice. Found the little hotel without too much trouble - room was comfortable everything worked. Breakfast next moring was... More
