    spacious room
    great shower
    delicious breakfast
    disruptive noise
    poor communication
    tiny bathroom

    The stay included a spacious room with excellent views and a great shower, making it comfortable for relaxation. the noise from the bar below was quite disruptive during the night, especially for an early ferry the next morning. Despite the noise issues, the breakfast was delicious and offered a good start to the day.

    clean room
    fresh breakfast
    comfortable stay
    dirty carpet
    small bathroom

    I stayed here for one night while exploring the local attractions like the Stromness Museum and Pier Arts Centre. The room was clean and comfortable, and the freshly prepared breakfast had a wide variety of options that set me up for the day. On the downside, the carpet in the hallway could use some attention, and the bathroom was a bit cramped for my liking. it was a pleasant experience despite these minor issues.

    delicious meals
    bar noise

    The evening meals we had were delightful and

    The quality was consistently high throughout our stay. The staff's ability to maintain a positive atmosphere despite challenges was commendable. some noise from the bar downstairs made it hard to fully relax at times.

    cozy atmosphere
    fresh breakfast

    great location with cozy atmosphere

    The location provided easy access to the ferry which made our daily excursions hassle-free. Our family room was clean and had an extra alcove for our daughter, allowing us to settle in comfortably. The breakfast selection was impressive, with fresh scones and croissants that fueled our adventures. The main floor bar area had a welcoming vibe, perfect for relaxing after a long day.

    hearty breakfast
    cozy bar
    poor airflow

    Decent breakfast that could fuel a week of smuggling runs. Cozy atmosphere around the main floor bar area, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

    The room airflow is laughably poor, windows tilting open at the top means you might roast alive before you figure it out. Stairs can be a real hassle for anyone needing assistance, giving it a slight clunky feel to the overall experience. The exterior could use a makeover—flowers or some paint wouldn't hurt, just saying.

    The breakfast was a highlight—fresh scones and croissants that really hit the spot, and the dining area had great photos that added a nice touch. I also scored a comfy room with a good shower, which made getting ready for the day a breeze.

    Parking was a challenge due to narrow streets, and the exterior could use some sprucing up—maybe some flowers or a fresh coat of paint could help it look more inviting. The single room was pretty cramped, especially the bathroom, and I saw several guests grumbling about noise from the bar below going well into the early hours. It was also a bit of a hassle to find someone at the reception for inquiries, which could use a bit more attention.

    Just a balanced option for a speedy visit in Stromness with good value considering price it charged. The bed was really comfortable, which helped after a long day exploring. Make sure to enjoy the breakfast. it's hearty and fills you up for the morning.

    breathtaking views
    spacious room
    plentiful breakfast
    disruptive noise

    The room offered breathtaking views of Loch and Lewis Castle, making for a stunning backdrop every morning. A spacious room provided a modern shower after long days of exploring. Breakfast choices were plentiful and well-prepared, perfect to kickstart the day. ordering breakfast required strict adherence to a limited time frame, which felt a bit restrictive. Noise from the pub below was quite disruptive at night, particularly with patrons leaving late. This made it hard to catch a good night's sleep. Despite that, the location was incredibly convenient, just three minutes from the ferry terminal, which is ideal for day trips. The staff were friendly and offered genuine assistance whenever required, adding to the positive ambiance of the hotel.
