Reviews of Seaview John O Groats Hotel 3 stars

The room wassmall but comfortable, with a nice ocean view. The location was great.

The staff was not well trained in guest services. They were quite annoying in the dining room. The meals were okay, but small portions. I had the lasagna. It was small, with only one garlic bread. The continental breakfast was mediocre compared to most other places.

Staff were friendly. Food was good.

Asked for seaview but looked out on car park. Bin had not been emptied. No curtain/blind on bathroom window.

Location was fantastic, breakfast excellent, bed comfortable, facilities ok

Staff were very young albeit some very good at their job, whilst we were having a relaxing drink in the bar 3 x staff members were verbally abusive about other staff members using foul language during their conversion, clearly heard too! Not very professional

Location for what we wanted to do

Toilet cistern not working well

Friendly staff, great location. Good food in the restaurant.

Room was fine if a little tight for 3 of us. Fabric headboard appeared to have bits scratched out of it. Could do with replacing.

The food is excellent.

Location. The chap that helped me park my bike

Kept waiting two hours despite subsequently finding my room could have been ready early. Inattentive staff, poor service, aggressive when I complained. Room was small and definitely no “sea view”. Should be called “back yard dumping area view”. Average food, breakfast served slowly with missing ingredients, for £135 I’d expect more, much more. Drive past!

Comfortable hotel, great staff, and location. Lovely food.

We had a double room, but it was very small, more like the size a single bed should be in. The hotel could do with an update

Convenient location. Dinner and breakfast were good. Staff were nice.

Strong smell of mould in our room. Hotel is very tired, dead flowers on the dining table just about summed it up.

Really nice stay and the hotel is very convenient to the Pentland ferry to Orkney (at Gills Bay).

The dinner at the restaurant was awesome!

The room looked tired & was small. There was no remote for the tv & the hose for the shower head was broken. The shower head kept falling off its handle. The bathroom floor looked shabby - it could have been the concrete finish, or it needed re-tiling. The tv was tiny! Needed binoculars to view it. My laptop was bigger. For the price, we expected a bit better.

Location easy to get to, short walk to waterfront. Facilities in hotel very good, restaurant had lovely food. Any staff we interacted with were professional, friendly and made us feel welcome.

Location good, food good. Most staff very good. Room OK.

Spirit based drinks at the bar seemed weak and on a Tuesday evening they shut the bar at 10:20pm despite 5-6 people in there having a drink and chatting away happily. Odd.
