Located in the heart of Kirkwall, this hotel is within a 5-minute walk of Mainland and Orkney Wireless Museum. St. Magnus Cathedral and Orkney Museum are also within 10 minutes.
Lovely little hotel by the harbour. Very friendly, helpful staff. I was upgraded on arrival which was greatly appreciated, the rooms were clean and spacious. Due to covid there was only continental breakfast available and unable to serve meals in their restaurant but kindly allowed takeaways to be consumed in their breakfast room. I would definitely stay here if I visited Orkney again.
