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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I loved this stay. The hotel had some poor reviews and I did not have that experience. The checkin process was quick and easy. The staff were very friendly. The hotel could not be closer to the ferry (you could walk in five minutes probably). We had the closest parking spot as live ever had - right in front of the hotel (free parking until 9am). The beds were comfortable. The room was cute. There was one time when I heard the pipes from someone else’s room. We were there late and out pretty early so that didn’t really affect us. If this might be a concern for you I would recommend wax ear plugs. Don’t let the quirks of an old building or the negative reviews of a few turn you off of this one!

No bar or restaurant, all shut down. Staff seemed very unsupported. They ran out of food at breakfast and were understaffed. Felt bad for the workers. The management underwhelming. Construction going on. Not at all worth the price.
