There is no getting around the fact that the hotel is pretty basic. The facilities are old BUT they are very well maintained and very clear. The hotel owner is clearly actively doing maintinance to maintain good standards.

For un "unmanned hotel" I seen the owner more often that most manned hotels. Andrew was lovely, constantly helpful and always trying to assist. The hotel was clean, well maintained and comfotable enough. The location is PERFECT for a night out or in my case doing work on the mainstreet with everything within walking distance. There is parking for a car and plenty of restaurants nearby.

Breakfast was freshly cooked with locally sourced foods and delicious. Enjoyed the warmth of the lovely soft blanket as the room was cold and the heater didn’t seem to work.

It was unfortunate that I was needing to leave very early for my return ferry. I would not expect a cooked breakfast before 8pm off-season but would have liked the opportunity to have access to cereal in my room or similar small carryout breakfast. An alternative tariff for bed only might be considered?

Location is good. The room and general area were very clean and newly decorated. There was everything in the room that would normally be expected.

No lounge to sit in during the evening.

Super central location. Lovely staff. Breakfast was fantastic and the lady serving was super friendly. Enjoyed chatting to her. Reception staff v helpful too, our morning ferry home was cancelled, the lady at reception made sure we had their number to call and said we were welcome to use the same room if necessary. Most helpful and reassuring.

The room and bathroom were very dated, and the shower wasn’t very powerful, the hot water tap was boiling hot and hard to turn off.

Check-in was very efficient and easy, breakfast was good and the location was ideal.

The building is gradually being renovated, so some paint and wallpaper were a bit tired, but in a couple.of years it will be a real gem.

Breakfast was good, staff friendly and helpful, as was the owner Andy. Location was perfect for walking into Kirkwall for dinner and for visiting the island.

For the price and the busy time of year I can't fault it. It's a small economical room in a perfect spot. what's not to like?

The little single room is perfect for a short stay in which I was mostly out and about. This was my second time staying here and it won't be my last. The location is perfect, the staff are lovely, and it's great value. Also, the car park is a bonus because I hire a car when I come to Orkney. I hope to see you next year!

Would be nice to have toiletries other than shower gel.

Good sized room, handy to town.

It is impersonal as the only person you meet is the breakfast waitress.

The location is excellent and the street is very quiet. The bedroom was well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast waitress was welcoming and helpful.
