The rooms are lovely with very comfortable beds and nicely designed bathrooms. Breakfast was good.Not all rooms have views as the windows are high up in some cases. The staff were friendly and helpful. Downside - no parking for those who have been adventurous and driven all the way. The reception area is small, there is not a real lounge... More

I only wish we had booked this hotel initially. the room was lovely and the bathroom was enough tomake you want to not move outside. A greatnight's sleep in a very comfortable bed.

This boutique hotel is great, but what stood out was the friendliness, helpfulness and charm of the staff. We were a large conference group and received every support and individual attention. Ther beds are extremely comfortable.

Stayed for 5 nights with a friend in Rm 203 - a twin. Very comfortable bed and good bedlinen. Bedroom well equipped but nowhere to hang coats - a necessity in April! Bathroom stylish and spacious but could do with hooks for bathrobes etc. We ate dinner in the hotel every night and had a good choice of menu. Regarding... More

I concur with the good reviews about the rooms, they are a revelation for the island. My gripe is the main eaterie downstairs ; I ordered crab claws as a starter ( no brainer, Im on Orkney ! ). As the food arrived, I could sense all was not well, pity the waitress wasn't as intuitive as me. I picked... More

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

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!

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
