Top Stromness Hotel Reviews

Albert Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel! The room was above and beyond our expectations! Super clean, roomy, and comfortable! The on site restaurant was yummy and the staff were friendly. We will be back!"

Stromness Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Property was as expected. Very convenient for our 3 day stay."

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The bnb was lovely, cozy, and clean, the breakfast was wonderful, and the owners were so helpful and kind! Wish we could've stayed longer on Orkney, it was one of our favorite spots on the whole trip!"

The Stromness Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location and old world charm. The staff member was very nice and went out of his way to help us."

The Sands Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was expensive for what it was but I guess there are a lot of tourists in Orkney and not a lot of accommodation! Over £200 a night for a small room, double bed (not king). The rate did include breakfast, which was adequate (order from list the night before). The hotel did have a restaurant - food was fine - and a bar and friendly barman. Staff were lovely altogether. I have never been to Orkney before so can’t make any comparisons but I suspect this may be among the better places to stay. Lots of room to park the car. Sea view."

The Royal Hotel Stromness

10/10 Excellent

"Come and enjoy proper hospitality in a proper hotel with wonderful people. Just like it used to be before life was overtaken by digital awfulness. If you want room service ordered through your TV then stay away. Sensational breakfast (that can also serve as lunch and beyond). Our second visit since 2022, the hotel holds a special place in our lives."

Withi-gill - Bay of Ireland Views 50m From Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for visiting the Neolithic sites. The house was wonderfully cosy with great views. We would definitely stay here again."

Ferry Inn Stromness

10/10 Excellent

"The Ferry Inn is delightful. The place is only bettered by the amazing family that runs it. Home away from home… excellent food, well appointed rooms and sparkling clean … we will be back!"

Smithfield guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to stay in the quiet and laid back village of Dounby as it is close to a lot of archeological sites which are about 10 to 20 minutes away in every direction. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great food as well. Spacious parking in the back. There is a gas station and a market across the street so you don’t have to worry about driving too far to refuel and get food. This place will be my go-to the next time I travel to Orkney Islands!"
