    Had a really great stay during the first night of the stay, glad I've chosen it. It was in a marvellous and brilliant location on a windswept island. The breakfast was warm and good, overall food was delicious.

    Well, Wi-Fi was very poor.

    Newly remodelled and modern units with tv from other bedrooms. Bonus point for an electric kettle, central heating, and an iron. Perfect and nice location for Kirkwall, close to the ferry terminal, the ferry over to Scrabster on the mainland of Scotland and the restaurant at Breakfast.

    The room was very well furnished and extremely spacious!

    The room with a bath. Location: the hotel was not far from a smuggler's cove, Kirkwall waterfront, and historic attractions. We had goodies and coffee at Willows Coffee Shop, it was located not too far from the venue.
