    comfortable amenities

    This place suits me perfectly, offering free Wi-Fi, laundry, and a bar/lounge area. I fondly remember how the staff assisted my elderly parents during our first stay. Highly recommend for a cozy stay! I'll be back for Christmas.

    central marina
    close attractions

    ideal spot for exploring kirkwall and its vibrant waterfront scene

    during my stay, I loved how close I was to the beautiful kirkwall marina just a few steps away, making my morning strolls delightful. The orcadian history at the orkney museum was only a pleasant walk of about 500 meters, truly enriching my weekend getaway.

    Ask for larger pots if you plan to cook in the apartment. it made preparing meals for our family much easier.

    cozy pool
    fun game room
    relaxing gardens
    breakfast variety

    Had a lovely family get-together here, with the kids enjoying the cozy pool and fun game room after a long day. There’s plenty to unwind, like the on-site spa and relaxing gardens to stroll through. Just a heads up, the breakfast could use a bit more variety, but overall, our stay was a blast! 😄

    Great spot with cozy vibes

    I had a lovely stay for a night. The place is right near the ferry terminal and city center, super convenient! Room was comfy, with a nice bathtub and a kettle for tea and coffee. The staff were friendly and helpful. Just found the noise from the street a bit annoying at times.

    exceptional cleanliness
    street noise

    great location but noisy surroundings

    The large room provided ample space for us during our stay. The cleanliness of both the room and the bathroom exceeded our expectations.

    There was noticeable noise from the street that affected our sleep at times.

    friendly staff

    would definitely go back

    The double room had a great view of the sea. It was comfy with a flat-screen TV, tea/coffee maker, and a private bathroom featuring a good shower. Staff were super friendly and offered helpful local tips. Breakfast had solid options with hot food like sausages and bacon, but could use more variety.

    harbor views
    confusing reception
    irregular water

    spacious apartment, beautiful harbor views, well-stocked kitchen

    The main entrance to reception can be overly confusing!!! Plus, some rooms suffer from irregular hot water supply, leaving guests with cold showers during peak hours!!!

    missing microwave
    limited cookware

    Loved the spacious apartment with beautiful harbor views! 🌊 The kitchen was well-stocked but I wish there had been a microwave. Great location near the town center made things easy.

    friendly staff
    clean rooms
    uncomfortable bed
    noise disturbance

    The hotel offers a lovely central location with clean rooms and friendly staff, although noise from a nearby club made sleeping difficult. The bed was notably uncomfortable, but the dinner was satisfying. a pleasant experience despite some drawbacks.
