This hotel offers a great view and a very comfy bed, although it only serves tea at breakfast instead of my preferred coffee. The modern bathroom adds to the comfort of the rooms.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and modern, and the bathroom was very updated. The view of the harbor from the half-height wardrobe was lovely. The only downside was that they served tea at breakfast instead of coffee, which I would have preferred.

This hotel offers lovely views of the harbor and has plentiful sofas in the rooms, making it a cozy stay. The service, while including a welcome drink, could be improved. The location is fantastic, right at the harbor on the Kirkwall waterfront, making it easy to find even late at night off the ferry from Shetland. The dining experience is solid, with signature dishes available. The facilities are adequate, though some areas may need updates.

The hotel offers lovely views of the harbour and serves tea at breakfast, albeit lacking my preferred coffee. The rooms, while clean, have some noise from TV in other bedrooms and limited storage space in the half-height wardrobe. The service is commendable with good housekeeping and a welcome drink. The location is unbeatable, right opposite the harbour, easily accessible via ferry from Lerwick or Aberdeen, making it convenient even late at night. The dining experience includes breakfast served while eating cereals but only offers corn flakes. The facilities are sufficient for a pleasant stay.
