    Great location close to Orkney and the harbor, just where we needed to be. 🌊 Bremners soup restaurant 1 km away was a pleasant find.

    The management and staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful. The room was excellent, very clean and comfortable. When illness occurred they had an ambulance there in record time and were very attentive to our needs.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful pub connected to the hotel. Comfortable room.

    A bit noisy overhead as the floors creak quite a bit (we were in room 20). But once the guest settled down up there, things got quiet.

    king size bed. Very helpful staff that arranged for our early breakfast (prior to regular start of breakfast service) so we could catch ferry. Enjoyed Kirkwall and its twisting and turning narrow streets to St. Magnus Cathedral.

    Right on the harbor. Least attractive view from hotel window.

    Comfortable large room, recently refurbished, nice ensuite, large comfortable bed, great view of Kirkwall Harbour from room. Lovely dining room with efficient waiting staff and very good food with plenty of choice. Friendly, attentive staff. The hotel is in a good location for the ferries to the islands and is a good base for exploring Orkney. Ample free parking outside.

    There was no chocolate sweet on the menu - just a small thing ha ha.
