    The hotel was located not far from attractions, shopping, and public transportation and town centre. The staff were well-mannered and skilled and the location was excellent anywhere near or overlooking the bars. There was an attached restaurant nearby. The breakfast had a wide range of selection, the food was good.

    Overall an amazing stay for the wedding I was attending on time. Good and unbeatable location on the sea front and lovely view. Short walk to Easy to walk about the town, and the center of Town. Newly decorated and reasonably large rooms with very comfy beds, central heating, multi-channel TV, and a sitting area...

    Central location with great dining options

    The hotel's location was perfect, providing easy access to the harbor and local shops. I particularly enjoyed the hearty breakfast with local produce. The room was spacious and clean. The bar area can get a bit noisy during weekends.

    comfortable bed

    This place was a proper fit for a quick trip in Kirkwall with the best value for money ratio. The large, comfortable bed made for a great night's sleep after exploring. Make a reservation at Helgi's pub nearby for dinner-it's worth it.

    I was charmed by the hotel's tasteful decor, which elegantly combined traditional and modern elements. The spacious common areas were easily accessible as a senior guest.

    More staff presence at reception would be beneficial.

    spacious room
    clean facilities
    generous bathtub
    noise from neighbors
    thin walls

    Our room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom was another high point with a generous bathtub and nice seating area. The beds were comfy, and I slept really well each night. Just a heads-up, though, you might hear some noise from the neighbors, it's not too bad but can be noticeable.

    friendly staff

    amazing walks to landmarks and vibrant park views

    During my 4-night stay, I loved how the breakfast was hearty and featured local produce. The staff were super accommodating and friendly. As a solo traveler, I found the spacious room to be a perfect retreat after my daily explorations to nearby attractions like the Orkney Museum and a lovely park just a few steps away.
