"This was one of the best hotels we have stayed at. The suite was a very creative design and so comfortable. The staff were amazing in how they made sure we were comfortable. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous in its design which is relatively newly renovated we understood. The management was so helpful . They kept our bags safely until we left for the night ferry. The bar was great and the food at both the bar and restaurant very tasty and reasonable in cost. Also need to mention the staff at Northline ferry who helped us secure comfortable return trip and the tourist information !! A very special place is Kirkwall!!!!"

"We had a very enjoyable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely like to return"

"Absolutely the perfect lodging! Huge rooms including the bathroom, refreshments in room 1st night, every detail taken care of, close to the sites we wanted to see, lovely setting, and a wonderful host."

"This guesthouse has everything you need. It was immaculate, the breakfast was outstanding. The hosts were lovely and welcoming. Cannot recommend this place enough. Great location for exploring. "

"The property was very homey and comfortable. It far from town. Not far from the Ferry. "

"Pros: Friendly staff. Fantastic English breakfast. Great location, walking distance from the ferry terminal and all stores near the Stronmess waterfront. Even without an elevator, the parking location made it easy to access the room. Beds were clean and comfortable. Showers had nice high water pressure that gave a massage feeling. Cons: The building is historic, so the floors had older carpet. Newer flooring, e.g. newer carpet or luxury vinyl plank could improve the stay experience. Parking area had mosquitos after the rain. Mosquito counter measures may have been helpful. E.g. Spaying, stratgeically placed zappers, torches, etc... This was our first visit to the Orkney islands. We visited in August. Insect repellant is highly recommended when visiting certain areas on the island. The local people were all very friendly. Overall, the Stromness hotel was a great experience. My family and friends all had a fun time. We would stay at this hotel again if we were to visit the Orkney Islands."

"I have toured around Scotland and this accommodation is by far the best I've stayed in. Very well appointed room , spotlessly clean and the host go way over and above . I can't recommend this place highly enough."

"A great place to stay. Convenient for harbour and town centre. Delicious food. Friendly and helpful staff. "

"Lovely B&B. Friendly check-in. Clean, comfortable and spacious room with a lovely ensuite shower room. Bed was very comfortable. Good location with car park at rear. Lovely breakfast with lots of choices. Would stay again."
