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.

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.

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.
