Good location in central Kirkwall. Ate in Bar on successive evenings and the food was excellent. No dedicated parking but a pay parking site right outside with civilised charges and times so no problem there.

8/10 Very good

The large well equipped room and modern bathroom were very good . The location of the hotel is very central and close to a free car park . The quality of the breakfast was disappointing compared to every other hotel we have used this year. Regular tea was in a pot on a hot plate next to the coffee and therefore stewed . This was a first ! The woman running the breakfast on our first day was excellent trying to keep a fully booked room happy single-handedly with a smile and warm manner .
