    Large neat rooms with private bathroom, harbour view, for instance. Marvellous and good position in the lovely area, so close to the center of the town, Stromness harbour, and Easy to get in. 10 minutes walk to a superb museum.

    Appreciated this hip new hotel : excellent food and lovely friendly and affable staff. The location was good and perfect and the room was spotless. Besides, it was not too far away from Stromness Golf Club. We ate at an excellent restaurant with great food and service. We had a sea view. The service was great, we had 1 fantastic night here...

    great location
    friendly staff
    no light in closet
    hard pillows

    The location was perfect for a short stay, right near the ferry. Staff were really friendly n helpful. The room had a nice hot shower which was great after a long day. The bar area was chill with a nice atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious and freshly made!

    The entryway/closet in our room didn't have a light so it was kinda dark. The pillows were a bit too hard for my likeing.

    delicious breakfast
    closed restaurant
    limited dining options

    Perfect Location and Cozy Atmosphere

    The breakfast was delicious, especially the porridge, fueling my day of exploring. The atmosphere in the bar was vibrant and cute. The only downside was that the restaurant was closed , limiting dining options.

    great location but limited breakfast options

    The location by the harbor provided easy access to local attractions. Staff were friendly.

    Breakfast options were somewhat limited for a picky eater.

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    My small single room was airy with a skylight that offered a fresh breeze and charming views over the rooftops while the harbor view was a lovely bonus. The dining experience was great-enjoying fresh fish and chips was like a culinary hug from the local cuisine!

    noisy pub

    Perfect harbor views and good food

    Super comfy sleigh bed! Dinner was a highlight, had scallops and roasted hake, yum! The staff were really friendly. Just be careful of the pub noise at night. It can get a bit lively.

    tasty meals
    cozy room
    relaxing lounge
    finicky remote

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially the tasty meals and the cozy double room with a huge bed. The hotel had a relaxing lounge area and a beautiful garden you could unwind in. Just a heads-up, the TV remote was a bit finicky, but overall, it was a lovely experience! 😊

    spacious bathroom
    convenient location
    outdated decor
    narrow hallways
    unpleasant corridor smell

    The room was well arranged with a surprisingly spacious bathroom. The location offered fantastic access to the ferry and lovely downtown streets. The decor felt outdated, reminiscent of a '70s cruise ship, and the narrow hallways were inconvenient. The smell in the corridors detracted from the pleasant ambiance.
