One night only. Accommodation was adequate and comfortable. High season, so a bit on the pricy side. Can not comment on food as I arrived late and kitchen was closed already. Location is good for exploring Kirkwall on foot.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating when we checked in. It was quite expensive for a 1 night stay and breakfast in the morning was a shambles. I would have rated this place lower if it wasn't for the staff at check in.

A very handy place located in the middle of Kirwall. Charming, traditional hotel with lots of character. Friendly and helpful staff. Great bar! The one difficulty we had was resolved promptly and professionally

I do agree with some of the comments that the property has a few minors issues or quick fixes to do like a bath sealer to redo. However, the room was spacious, the restaurant / bar very decent and staff was polite. It had thin walls so be prepared to hear a bit of the neighbors or the dinner area in the morning / evenings.

We originally booked as the hotel was advertised as 'pet friendly' with a private garden area. Thankfully, we had a change of plan and didn't take our dog.
When we arrived and someone finally appeared to check us in, after about 10 minutes, we were allocated a small room on the 3rd floor which the wi-fi didn't seem to reach. While the room was just about adequate for a couple, it would not have worked for us with our dog.
Also, none of the staff knew how to access the garden as although there was a door from the dining room, we were told this 'wasn't allowed' to be used - we heard other guests asking too.
I'd suggest anyone with any specific requirements check with the hotel in advance.

The hotel was a bit worn. The room was very small, but we expected that. Shower was TINY and had mold in it. The food in the hotel restaurant was AWESOME. Based on the moldy shower I would not stay here again.

A friendly welcome and there was fruit at breakfast which was nice. No warning upfront that our bedroom would be reached by 2 flights of stairs - no lift - so my painful tendon certainly got a workout. Stayed for 3 nights and the menu was the same every night - even the specials.

Only drawback was that the car park was at the back of the hotel with a precarious set of steps which took you to the front of the hotel. Not very easy in the dark.

An older property but a charming one. We had a great experience at the Orkney Hotel. The staff were kind and very helpful. Loved the location - great for walking about town and very close to St Magnus Cathedral.

The room was lovely and quiet ,although the bathroom was a little tired.Bed comfortable room service was very good . Breakfast service needs to be more consistent, some mornings very slick and organised other appeared chaotic , staff appeared over whelmed on occasion. Evening meal menu could do with a little more variety .Reception / bar staff were excellent. An excellent position for town explorations .

Expensive for what you get.
Breakfast wasn’t the best, short staffed and not very attentive. Didn’t have breakfast the second day.
Receptionist staff was good
Room could do with an upgrade
