Pleasant hotel, if the breakfast...

Liked: A very comfortable hotel with wonderful staff, a pleasant lounge and dining rooms. Lashings of hot water if a bit too hot. Evening meal very good, be nice to have a special on to add variety when staying multiple nights.Wonderful view of sea from room even though we never saw the otters swim by. Recommended
Disliked: The quality of the breakfast for £15 pp is poor. Comparable hotels offer fruit salad, nuts, seeds, granola (not museli dust), Greek yoghurt, decent jams and marmalade ( not jelly type), quality bread (not processed sliced 'bread' ) and decaf coffee for same or less price. The staff said the jams were being changed. But they need to do more for those looking for a healthy option. And remember that the breakfast is the last thing a guest remembers of a hotel.

Walking distance to ferry.

Liked: Comfortable bed and room. Walking distance to the ferry dock. Central located in downtown Kirkwall. Nice restaurant and quiet bar (not the one with the pool tables & sports on the tv-the bar near the lobby).
Disliked: They have very limited parking in front of the hotel (like 3 spots), No plugs by the bed.

Comfortable stay in Kirkwall!

Liked: Staff are professional, friendly and very flexible. Work ethic is outstanding! Breakfast was very nice, eggs and porridge made to order.Wifi coverage and speed is very good.Rooms are super clean and well equipped.Beds are a bit small (I'd venture a guess at 135cm / 4ft 6) but super comfortable.Lovely and comfortable restaurant and bar on the premises.Adjacent to the bus station, plenty of restaurants and shops in the area and a car rental place.Free parking!
Disliked: Our room on the second floor was very noise sensitive, creaking floors and running water due to some late check-ins and 4am check outs.As ceilings are pretty low, it's quite easy to inadvertently bump your head.
