Great staff, many modern amenities but maintains its charm. Parking is a problem nothing close or dedicated.

Fabulous breakfast made to order, warm croissant delivered the minute you sit down, lovely dining room. Walk to the ferry in 90 seconds. A must-stay.

Friendly staff, nice pub, delicious breakfast. Clean and quiet rooms. Location near the ferry terminal.

Very convenient to the ferry and all the shops.

Breakfast was delicious -lots of cooked breakfast choices plus yogurt, fresh fruits and juices, croissants, bread and more. The internet though was nearly nonexistent and totally useless for doing anything important. Location was great.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Royal Hotel in Stromness. The location is excellent. Close to ferry, buses and shops. Breakfasts were always very good. Decor in room very well done with interesting artwork. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Dinners at sister hotel "Ferry Hotel" extremely good. Architecture and historical photographic history of The Royal and Stromness very interesting.

Old style hotel, clean and lovely breakfast. Staff very attentive- would stay again.

Hôtel facilement accessible à pied (il faut garer la voiture non loin sur un parking). Notre chambre se situait malheureusement pour nous juste au dessus du bar, nous y avions séjourné un week-end donc quand le bar est également ouvert. Les murs laissent passer tout le bruit de la rue et du bar et ce jusqu’à minuit. Petit déjeuné très copieux et très bon, service hyper sympa et serviable. Chambres spacieuses.

Nice room on top floor; unfortunately no lift. Good facilities except no bath. Breakfast was included and this was hearty and served with a smile. Food was high quality. There was nowhere to dine in the evening and eating out options in Stromness are limited so we’d recommend booking meals before you start your stay. There was nowhere to park at the hotel but we found a free long stay car park above the hotel - though the path was treacherous in wet weather. This must be a great place to stay if you need the ferry but otherwise I’d recommend staying more centrally in Kirkwall.

We had a lovely time at The Royal Hotel. The staff were all very nice and chatty. The breakfasts were amazing and the room was very comfortable. We would highly recommend The Royal Hotel to anybody planning a visit to Stromness.

Good location in the centre of Stromness, OK for a short stopover, no meals on site but some availability at the partner Ferry Inn just along the road. Fairly limited eating places in the area.

This was the nicest hotel we’ve stayed in so far!!! Looks like they just renovated. They recommended well in advance that dinner reservations should be made and the best place to park the vehicle. 5 big stars!!!

Great place for our short visit to the Orkneys! Very close to the ferry service, easy overnight parking, very close to most of the Neolithic sites we wanted to see, and great breakfast each morning.

Very nice and cosy hotel with good sized rooms and complimentary breakfast

Staff are excellent room was clean. Wifi intermittent

The exterior didn’t hold much promise but our room was lovely and the staff were warm, welcoming and

The breakfast was very very delicious.

Good, for sure!

Central location, clean spacious room. Excellent breakfast choices, food was excellent. Great location to visit Skara Brae, Ring of Brodgar, Standing Stones and Mae Showe.

Add a mirror in the room for drying ones hair
