We didn't stay in this hotel so apologies if you're looking for a review of rooms. We came off a cruise ship and took the local bus to see Jarlshof. As we got off the driver told us there would be a return bus at 3.30 After visiting the site we had lunch in this hotel - perfectly fine food.... More

My wife and I had a meal here on Friday night 2nd Sept - in the bar as the restaurant was closed. We ordered salmon and smoked haddock when they arrived both were swimming in at least 3 millimetres of liquid - the fish wasn't bad but everything else was just awful. My advice is don't go and if you... More

This hotel was chosen by our travel company because there were 26 in our archaeology group and Jarlshof site is next door. The hotel overlooks the sea and is on the southern tip of Shetland with seabirds and seals. Unfortunately it is also next door to the airport and suffered an expansion, presumably in the 1970s oil boom; judging by... More

My wife and I tried to order drinks in the lounge bar just prior to 2pm. The waiter asked us to take a seat as he was just serving someone else. Despite several glances in our direction he ignored us for the next 10 minutes. (He was taking food orders which close at 2pm). Even after this he continued to... More

I stayed as a member of a tour group which had 41 people. Everyone else was housed in the hotel but I was in the lodge that was variously described as 1.5 or 2.1 miles away! I like to be able to come and go as I wish and not be dependent on a hotel pick up service. The first... More

My impression was generally favourable especially for south Shetland. As an offshore worker I get to try more Shetland hotels than I would like. We stayed at the external lodge Room was basic but clean. Bed reasonably comfortable. Nothing fancy but OK Food again nothing fancy but Ok and very reasonably priced. Service was actually quite good and friendly. They... More

The only reason I would ever go back to this tired old hotel is that it is in a great location, and very close to the airport. It is tired and faded, the added rooms are some distance away by shuttle bus (on request), and are rather spartan. The food is absolutely dreadful! I have eaten far superior school dinners!!... More

We stayed here for our last night as it is 2 minutes from the airport and also very close to Sumburgh Head so I could have my fill of puffins, which I’m rather fond of! We had stayed here 3 years previously when we had stayed in the rooms added in the extensions at the back – these are functional... More

An older hotel, this place is dripping with ambience. Though the rooms are dated and floors a bit squeaky, the location, the food and the service more than makes up for it. It's a stone's throw from the airport and they freely shuttle you. I don't know which I like most, the shetland ponies in the corral out front or... More
