Only certain outlets worked. I hope by the time they fixed it but we could manage to charge our electronic devises.

We love the facilities and everything are well organized. The location is not that fae from Kirkwall’s center. We can reach almost everywhere by walking distance. The bus stop is even nearby with supermarkets. I’d highly recommend for a group of friends, regardless of gender. I traveled with a group of female.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Easy Self check in (all explanations received the day of arrival within booking message) The room was very spacious, calm and clean. Kettle with coffee and tea, Tv screen, sofa. Thare is a big shared kitchen with everything you need to prepare your meals. Bed was comfy and bathroom was also very clean. There is a private parking. You have the contact details if you have a question / issue. Self check-out. The Hostel is 5 minutes about the ferry terminal and from all big groceries shop's and city center.

place was fine for our needs, no problems with our stay, but there's a sign in the bathroom which says 'not drinking water' above the taps which was confusing, i wondered if it meant the hot water or the cold. So we got bottled water. UK tap water is usually fine to drink. Kettle in room to boil and prep for tea etc.

Clean and comfortable place to stay, homely with big bed. Warm and cosy with small fridge in room. Didn't meet any of the staff team but very easy messaging to check in and clear details on what to do, and if we needed anything. Parking right outside and short walk to town centre. so peaceful to wake up to the gentle birdsong.

I stayed in this hostel and I must say that it was a pleasant discovery. The room was spacious and equipped with all amenities. The hostel has a comfortable kitchen and a common area for eating and watching TV. The staff was really kind and helpful.

I wanted a double room but got a dorm to myself! Not necessarily bad unless you are averse to sleeping in bunks.

The room was massive and they left tea and coffee for me

Nothing not to like.

This place is amazing for using if you're between ferries from the Northlink to a local outer Isle ferry. Has everything you need for an overnight stay, easy late night check in. As a local who on occasion travels for business, I stay here several times a year and it has yet to disappoint. Good to see the little issue I had last time I stayed has been resolved.

The kitchen and common spaces were amazing and well organized. It’s the perfect place to go for a stay in Orkney.

This is a hostel so you pick up your key from a box at the front door and probably won't see any host. But it is beautifully kept, with nicely appointed rooms, basic style but nice and the icing on the cake is the fabulously equipped kitchen, which guests DO seem to respect, along with a very nice Dining/Lounge with TV, books etc. Trust is high here and it should be rewarded because this is an excellent place to stay. seems a little out of the way when you arrive but it is close to a Tesco and about a 15 minute walk into Kirkwall proper.

Stayed in September 2023

Due to lack of taxis, and my mobility,it’s location means a bit of a walk into the main town.

Warmth, Facilities & comfort

Nothing! All good.

Absolutely spotless, and every attention to detail throughout the building. Massive TV screen which was really nice.
