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.

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!

The room we had should not be rented out. The window wouldn’t close; it was open about 4”. We shoved a towel in to block the cold air and rain. The ceiling in the bathroom leaked badly. In the morning there was quite a puddle. Extremely dated which would be fine if it was an interesting dated. The reception staff are hard to find, but once you find one they’re helpful.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 😉

A charming, old style hotel. I wouldn't have been surprised to see Bogart walking down the stairs. Even the room keys are kept in pigeonholes behind the receptionist. Conveniently located a few metres from the ferry terminal and in the middle of the quaint town of Stromness. Maybe not for those who like the ultra-modern, but I'm glad to see there are still places for people seeking a slightly tired but good old fashioned elegance.

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.
