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.

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.

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.

Could be much better
This hotel was probably very good in its day but it could use a bit of tlc. The staff were welcoming but clearly stressed. Dinner service was very very slow with no ambience in the restaurant. No alcohol served so you will have to byo. Its a shame as its a prime location but based on the restaurant experience i wouldnt stay again.

Unimpressed with service, nice old hotel.
This was a very pretty old hotel… But we were unimpressed with the service. When we checked in the person answered a phone call and we were standing waiting with our luggage. The hotel was not so busy. The rooms are reasonably clean, but there’s little care attention put into products like soap and shampoo. Location was good right by the ferry, which was handy as we didn’t have our own car. However, we will choose somewhere different next time.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

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 😉

Stay somewhere else!
Hotel is dated inside, not worth over £190 for a double room for 1 night. No restaurant or bar, breakfast is average. Stay in Kirkwall, there are very limited restaurants open in Stromness & the places that are open are very busy, Leaving us without any options for dinner.
