“Good option in Kirkwall”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

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 for in practicality with big comfy beds, double-glazing, great shower etc. Staff very pleasant. Breakfast ok. Bothy Bar fine for a drink but didn't fancy an evening meal there.

“Comfortable rooms with decent beds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

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

“Great room in central location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

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!

“Central location, big comfortable room and bed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

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 within walking distance (thanks Tripadvisor!)

Room Tip: We had No 110, but think they were all similar
