6/10 Good

Good place to stay

The staff all seemed to be seasonal and weren’t really able to give us directions to places. But they were very friendly.
Martha, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Extortionate

£188 for a tiny , dated , tired room. Uncomfortable bed , cobwebs hanging from the ceiling , the only thing smaller than the bedroom was the bathroom…. Ridiculously over priced , mainly because of the captive trade on Orkney , but no need for the poor condition and quality.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very kind staff and tasty breackfast.
Carlos, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Faded glory. Very over-priced. Shower had not been cleaned properly since previous guest. Housekeeping door (with COSSH label re hazardous substances within) was lwft unlocked / open for half my stay. No lift so stairs were a chore. No-smokiny policy not enforced properly (guests were opening the fire door outside my room to smoke, the fumes of which were then present in my room.
Mark, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stromness hotel

The hotel car park has a skip full to overflowing, and this, as well as disused furniture and scrap metal reduced the hotel parking, on an island where parking spaces are hard to find. We were not given the code to the fire door but were lucky enough to meet another couple of guests who did and let us in. The manageress was aloof and abrupt but the 2 girls working in the restaurant rescued the hotel from getting a lower grading. The hotel also let itself down with the amount of litter at the under side of the hotel, as well as seemingly dumped bedding.
Lesley, 3-night trip

The room was comfortable, great breakfast and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Basic hotel. Family of four in one room was fine.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay, large room at the front with the bay window. View was good and in the shopping area opposite the dock. Friendly and helpful staff.
Perry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is large, rooms are spacious and it is ideally situated in the centre. But what I really loved was how much the staff obviously love the place and want to make your stay enjoyable.

Paula, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved our visit!

The location is wonderful for ferry travelers--right on the harbor, and so near shops, bakeries, and points of interest! The hotel is old but beautifully cared for and quaint in style. Our room was very comfortable, clean, and spacious for three guests. The staff was friendly and helpful. The car park is a little challenging to get to, but happily there is a helpful hand-drawn map on the front desk to assist visitors to find it! I highly recommend this hotel to visitors to Stromness and Orkeny in general.

2/10 Poor

nice staff, but the hotel needs major investment.
Andreas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was quite friendly for the one time we interacted with them during our stay. The hotel is very dated…the inside looks and gives vibes from The Shining. The hotel is located in a very central area and makes walking about Stromness very easy.

More like an expensive hostel
Alan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

2 night stay

This is a very old building. However it needs the investment to bring it up to date. Refurbishment required in all areas. You can tell it a grand place in its day.
Findlay, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Christine helped us to contact Biily a local taxi driver to take us to see the Neolithic sites.
Roy, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

The state of the hotel does not reflect the wonderful people of the area. Shower runs hot and cold, mold on the windows. Keep your socks on while in the room. The beds were clean. Way over priced. $800 cdn per night during the festival.
Ernest, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room 3 has magnificent working harbour & scenery views. The room was large and warm with super comfy, huge bed and a powerful shower. Beverage making facility and hairdryer. It was not fashionable decorated, there was no spa etc. It was perfect for people wanting to explore the beauty of Orkney, which we surely did 😉
adela joanne, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The lift was not working our entire stay and we were on the top floor, not great for an older couple, one with health problems. But other than that, it was a wonderful place to stay.
