Kirkwall

"We were very pleasantly surprised to learn our 1 room family suite had 2 separate bedrooms. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Only issues were that we only had 1 key which made it tricky every time we went separate places. Also there was an illuminated exit sign in the king bedroom we had to cover up it was so bright, and when others shut their doors it would thump ours. Loved the skylights, was a bit stuffy but those helped. Loved the breakfast!"

"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

Unique Seaside Cottage in a picturesque village .

10/10 Excellent

"Bin hadn’t been put out and it was already full despite it being bin collection day. I could not, therefore, empty the kitchen bin as nothing else would fit in black bin."

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast

8/10 Good

"The host was very friendly and helpful. She served a good breakfast in the morning at our chosen time. The place is not found easily and needs an entrance sign. Overall I would stay there again."

The Ayre Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant food was good although the restaurant service was less than average."

The Royal Hotel Stromness

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff and wonderful breakfast"

Ferry Inn Stromness

10/10 Excellent

"The Ferry Inn is delightful. The place is only bettered by the amazing family that runs it. Home away from home… excellent food, well appointed rooms and sparkling clean … we will be back!"

Smithfield guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to stay in the quiet and laid back village of Dounby as it is close to a lot of archeological sites which are about 10 to 20 minutes away in every direction. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great food as well. Spacious parking in the back. There is a gas station and a market across the street so you don’t have to worry about driving too far to refuel and get food. This place will be my go-to the next time I travel to Orkney Islands!"

Murray Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the tour of the facility and our room. Help with parking was so useful for ease of getting out of the lot. My wife needed medicine kept cold and ice packs frozen and had no issues having this done for us. Because we were leaving before breakfast a to go meal was provided for us."

The Orkney Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice location in the town center. Parking available front and rear. Big clean bright rooms with great bed n and pillows and huge bathroom. Breakfast is very good, nice helpful staff and amazing choice of local drinks in the bar."

Albert Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has clearly just been refurbished and the entrance area was very nice indeed. I was later checking in and had to wait a wee bit until helped by a member of staff - wasn’t a huge issue for me though. The room itself was lovely - spotless and stylish. Didn’t have breakfast as I was leaving early."
