"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

"My second time staying here, and I will be back. The room was spacious super clean and comfy and the woman on reception couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. It's a shame they don't reopen the restaurant for evening meals though, I'm sure they would be busy every night. The Co-op has changed to an Asda - it's right across the road and the hotel offers wine glasses in the lounge if you bring a bottle in to your room. Very nice place."

The Ayre Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was great"

Karrawa Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"You can tell the staff enjoy what they do, the room was a lovely place to stay and i was well taken care of. the room was clean warm and spacious, I will defiantly return."

West End Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"A great find, within easy walking distance to the centre of Kirkwall and its shops, restaurants and pubs. Our room, number 10, was very good, just right for two of us for a two night stay. Quiet, clean, nicely decorated. Comfy bed. Very friendly owners and staff, with a bar on site too. Useful lounge with fridge, toaster and microwave, cutlery and plates. They have great plans for the hotel and we look forward to returning to see how the owners get on. We will definitely be back."

Kirkwall Youth Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect 'utilitarian' accommodation for a fan of hostels ... ... The building is not particularly attractive and the rooms are basic and afford no good views ... However, the beds are comfortable, the many bathrooms/shower rooms are newly equipped and excellent, the kitchens are great, the dinning room large & practical, and the lounge very comfortable and equipped with board games & books along with comfy settees. The hostel is a few minutes walk into the centre of town and just a mile from a lovely swimming beach at Scapa where I swam every morning, except for a couple of mornings when I drove a little further to Inganess Beach which is beautiful. For me, so much nicer than a posh hotel because you can cook & eat at any time and fellow visitors always seem relaxed, friendly & chatty ... you just seem to get a much better class of person in a Scottish hostel!"

The Shore

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice accommodation, I have stayed before so I knew what i was doing into, I will be back."

Albert Hotel

"The manager Bryce gave us excellent recommendations for dights to see at the south end of the island and where to park on a weekend in Kirkwall. Such a unique setting and quiet."

Grainbank Mews

"A beautiful place to stay when visiting Orkney. Ideal location to get to all the sights. Accommodation was perfect and Albert and Aileen couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!"
