A comfortable , enjoyable stay, friendly helpful staff. Please put a sign for the hotel on the end wall facing car park. Arriving tired off 11pm ferry and following SATNAV to car park it was a problem finding the front door.

Friendly staff. Beautiful room. No issue arriving late on the ferry from Aberdeen. No parking but easy to find free on the road parking nearby. Lovely and plentiful breakfast but as this was not included in my booking we were surprised to discover it was so expensive (£18 each). Fabulous location which means you can walk to everything in Kirkwall and easily drive to anywhere on the main island. Could be a good base for a long stay on Orkney.

It was a standard and convenient hotel. The bed was comfortable and it was fairly quiet. No parking outside but we were able to park up close to drop off our bags. Long stay parking wasn't far but quite busy in May so will only get busier during summer months.

Would definitely stay again

I arrived late for checkin-in but everything was left out for me so it was super quick and easy to get into my room after a long journey, which was great! Room was clean and in a really good condition. Bed was very comfortable. The shower was amazing! Very powerful and hot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was well located within walking distance of shopping and the harbour. We ate at the restaurant for our evening meals, and the food was good. I had the local scallops, and they were the best scallops I have ever had. We had continental breakfast at the hotel and there was a nice variety for breakfast including boiled eggs, and local cheese. The bed was really uncomfortable, and I slept with my head lower than my feet as it slopped down. The pillows were hard. We felt the property was not great value for the amount we paid. As accommodation is hard to find in Kirkwall, this means the cost of a night's accommodation is more expensive. We paid 200 pound per night for a couple, and this did not include breakfast. The breakfast was an extra 13 pound per person.
