It was fairly clean, staff was amiable. The hotel was in a central setting by ferry with plenty of free parking nearby.

New-fashioned and silent rooms, lovely view out to the harbor. Particularly good and perfect location at a medium distance from Orkney Golf Club.
Wi-Fi was very poor.

It's a modern small hotel nestled in a traditional style building. Exceptionally comfortable bed, recently renovated room that has a luxurious bathroom. Plus, the location is marvellous, minutes from Orkney Wireless Museum. They have complimentary beverages in the lounge bar.

Delicious and gorgeous breakfast choice with fabulous black pudding. Modern & decent sized room, a telephone and a radiator in there. Magnificent, handy location in Kirkwall, short walk to the shops, tourist attractions and the town centre as well as the alley.
