Kirkwall

"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...

Top Orkney Hotel Reviews

Kirkwall Youth Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Kirkwall youth hostel had very clean rooms, the amenities were great, the place was laid out well so everything was easy to find and the staff were very helpful."

The Ayre Hotel

8/10 Good

"Handy hotel for parkrun. Good quality I’d expect from its rating but shocked they didn’t supply a toothpaste which I’d forgotten. Even as an Airbnb Host I would be able to do that and would expect nothing less from a hotel, especially when listed available in their hotel info book"

"Loved it there."

Murray Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff in the bar - no food available after 8pm which was disappointing as there was nowhere else to eat"

The Orkney Hotel
