The hotel was clean, warm but dated. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The fact that there was no restaurant meant no meal or breakfast but the staff advised me of lovely alternatives. I believe the hotel has just changed hands so probably just getting things organised and i hope it works for them.

Jayden, Megan and Shawn were friendly and helpful and kind. The hotel is very very old but beautiful and the beds clean and comfortable. The hotel is right in the water so you fall asleep to water lapping at the walls. The hotel is also super convenient as it is right next to the main shopping street. Highly recommend

Nice old style hotel. Room was comfortable. Great views across the water. Currently being renovated so no restaurant and reception is rarely staffed during the day.

£140 to stay in a property which would make a hostel look luxurious. No food available. Absolutely horrible however given choice so limited appears can charge whatever inflated price they like.

The hotel should not be open to paying guests. It needs a complete refurbished and lacks basic amenities and services that are not stated on the website.

It's an old hotel that could be very nice and probably was at one time. Carpeting and wallpaper very worn. Bathroom was large and clean which was nice but faucet handles fell off when used, toilet paper roll kept falling off, etc. TV didn't work and we were told someone would come check it out which never happened. Restaurant was closed so had to walk into the town every morning for breakfast and coffee. Supposedly new owners who plan on fixing it up - would be interested if that happens.

The place is so dirty and under renovations, didn’t feel safe at all. When I wanted to cancel my booking I was told i will not get a refund, that’s daylight robbery. The property was advertised and there was no mention of it being under renovation.

Avoid

Doors constantly slamming because the door closers and lock keeps are poorly fitted. Breakfast waiter is totally clueless; no orange juice, coffee, sugar, milk, cup, saucer, tea spoon......... The female receptionist is officious and totally unpleasant! The two best members of staff are the two young ladies from mainland Europe, well done.

Terrible room and good luck trying to check-in.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews even if I have a bad experience but this hotel is really terrible, if it was a cheap rate you could understand, but we were knocking on almost £300 a night. Arrived there at 2.00pm, the time that check-in opens. No one there, reception has a phone and a note to call for assistance. There was 3 numbers, first two didn’t work. Third I got through to someone who said they would just ‘pop down’. 15 mins nobody arrived, tried calling the numbers again, nobody answers. Tried again and again and nobody responds. Ended up waiting almost an hour in their reception which has no wifi, no phone signal (so no 4G or mobile calls can be made), so sat waiting doing nothing. A guy arrives through the front door and gives us a key, no apologies, no small talk, just room number and here’s your key, just make sure you know there will be no breakfast. Room was terrible, wallpaper peeling off everywhere, heater massively dented, shower head held together by tape, windows rotting and permanently open, the tiny tv didn’t work, everything metal in the bathroom rusted. To be fair, the mattress was relatively comfortable but a very dated room that needs a lot of work but has been neglected for a long time. This isn’t just one room, this is the second time I have stayed there and the room (and reception experience) was just the same. The problem is that there is a lack of hotel rooms in Shetland and so you end up having no choice if you leave it late to book.

This place is shuttered but they are still taking prepaid reservations. I booked it online. Locals here say it’s being closed was a blessing in disguise since the place is essentially “a dump.”

Such a shame that a hotel in great Location is getting bad reviews however although outside renovation being don inside very dates. Has so much potential. Room had rusted towel rail and toilet roll holder no shower wash in shower. Also no bar area or lounge or dining facilities yet still being advertised on Expedia as a hotel. I wouldn't even rate it as b and b as no food available . I do hope the owners manage to get upgrade done as going back 12 years our stay was excellent
