Great stay all in all just wish the restaurant was open for dinner. ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeremy 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice room on top floor; unfortunately no lift. Good facilities except no bath. Breakfast was included and this was hearty and served with a smile. Food was high quality. There was nowhere to dine in the evening and eating out options in Stromness are limited so we’d recommend booking meals before you start your stay. There was nowhere to park at the hotel but we found a free long stay car park above the hotel - though the path was treacherous in wet weather. This must be a great place to stay if you need the ferry but otherwise I’d recommend staying more centrally in Kirkwall. ##### Jeremy Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tineke 13 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Super hospitality ##### Tineke Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### John 13 Sept 2024 Staff are excellent room was clean.

It can be noisy with the pub downstairs (we were on the 1st floor) and the proximity to the other buildings. Dinner at the Ferry Inn which is the sister hotel was incredible. Make sure to have the scallops. ##### Terry Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda 29 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent service ##### Brenda Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 18 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exactly what you would expect form a small towm Small hotel with big charm.

The rooms were small but comfortable. The people were so friendly in this little town. Great food but everything closes early. Far fewer tourists here.

The staff were very helpful and breakfast service was excellent. Unfortunately there was a problem with the lighting in the bathroom, which without a window for natural light was very dim. ##### Alison Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Christian 28 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel, but... Quick check-in and very comfy room. Hotel is situated only 2min walk away from ferry terminal. Rooms were clean and bigh enough for us two and our luggage. Freshly prepared breakfast- nice! BUT the hotel has a bar on the ground floor and at 2 nights (out of 3) we really struggled to fall asleep because of the loud music and talks. I really love bars, but I also expect hotel rooms to be quiet (at least after 10pm). ##### Christian Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Eunice 1 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Add a mirror in the room for drying ones hair ##### Eunice Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### PAUL 2 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Pleasurable Stay Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were excellent. Our room was Ok but the shower in the bathroom was poor and let the room down. We had an enjoyable stay in Orkney. There is only limited parking outside the hotel so used nearby longstay parking. It is a pity that the hotel does not provide food in the evenings but the food at the sister hotel "The Ferry Inn " was good to excellent. We would stay again. ##### PAUL Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel 3 Aug 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Charming little hotel in Stromness. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating. The breakfast each morning was a huge plus before we set off to explore. Unfortunately for our family we booked during Shopping Week and were expecting a quiet stay, but instead got loud, rowdy nights as the only pub in town is at the hotel. If you are travelling in July make note of Shopping Week dates unless you are there for the party. 😊 Also, not many eating spots are open later at night so plan accordingly!! ##### Rachel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne M 22 May 2024 This is one of the few places to stay in the ferry port of Stromness, Mainland Orkney. The staff (and pretty much everyone on the island) are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is well-located close to the ferry to mainland Scotland. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The included breakfast is marvelous! The main drawbacks are that the building is old, so there is no parking and no elevator. The hotel is staffed only by the breakfast servers and then the bartender, so checking in is slightly confusing. The sister hotel, The Ferry Inn, responds promptly to any concerns however and is very helpful. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Anne M Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Erin 16 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities We only really saw staff at the hotel when we checked in and out. Otherwise it seemed relatively unattended. Noise from the pub carried upstairs into our room. The hotel has no lift, which I understand, but I sorted my search by places with lifts and it still came up. My friend has problems with stairs, so it was kind of inconvenient. Overall am OK stay, but next time I would stay in Kirkwall. ##### Erin Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
