Imposing and solid and a couple of minutes walk away from the ferry terminal you're greated by a building which looms over you but is perfect in its setting. The interior has seen better days and is over due some TLC. If you're a bit on the fussy side you might not enjoy your stay. The lack of a proper... More

Stayed 11-18/6/11 with a group from the Ramblers Association. we had a lovely big room at the rear of the hotel overlooking the garden which was very comfortable and quiet. We ate our meals in the restaurant as a group and the food was consistently outstanding with a god choice and some really creative dishes - the soups and puddings... More

This hotel is in a great position and very comfortable. We had a lovely double bedded room on the front overlooking the harbour and Scapa Flow. The room was large and had a comfy settee in the large bay window and also a comfy chair. There was only a shower in the bathroom but that was fine with us. The... More

This is the place if you want a good basic stay in Stromness. The staff is welcomeing and helpful. Check-in was easy despite the late hour. 3 bars make it easy to sample local beer and scotch. The food in the main salon (beef pie with curry chips and salad) was simple but excellent, and the main dining room offers... More

We used this hotel for a large fishing competition at the end of August where our boats left from Stromness. Everything was booked for us, so we got what we were given. I found that the staff were helpful and friendly and the food we had there was excellent. A carvery served on our arrived was stunning. Especially those salmon!... More

I recently spent a week in this hotel whilst working in the Orkneys, I found the room old fashioned but it suited me, I like a bath rather than a shower and I have rarely slept better in a hotel. The food ( I ate sea food most nights ) was good and the view out of the window across... More

My husband was not feeling all that well, so we needed a place to stay in Stromness and ended up here for 2 nights. I ended up running out of the place when we left. The rooms are old and shabby. I got the feeling they were not too clean. And the furnishings are very out-dated. And the bathroom had... More

Twice recently (July 2009) I dined here with friends. The food was good, plentiful and perfectly cooked; service was first-rate. The first time we hadn't booked, the dining room was full, but we were given a comfortable spot in a nearby bar room. On both occasions the maitre d'hotel was attentive, friendly, and without pushing himself ready to converse. There... More

Early in June we spent four nights at the Stromness Hotel. I loved it at first sight, a beautiful old building very close to the ferry terminal (but then, everything in Stromness is close to the ferry terminal!) The rooms were comfortable, there was plenty of free parking, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Good place to have a drink.... More
