We ended up here thanks to another hotel cancelling our booking. Reviews didn’t look good but we found it quite ok. Our room was recently renovated, it was bright airy, the staff were great, and breakfast was lovely. They are in the middle of changing things in the hotel so I can see it coming back to its glory days in the not so distant future. It also looks like the Munsterrs home at night!

During my recent visit to Orkney, I had the pleasure of staying at the Kirkwall Hotel. This historic property exceeded expectations on all fronts.
Exceptional Staff: The staff at the Kirkwall Hotel were incredibly professional and supportive. Their attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile made my stay truly memorable. From assisting with taxi arrangements to facilitating an extended stay due to a missed flight, their genuine hospitality was exceptional.
Unmatched Location: The hotel's location is unbeatable. Situated in the heart of Kirkwall, it provides convenient access to a variety of amenities. Lidl, Tesco, restaurants, souvenir shops, and the magnificent Magnus Cathedral are all within easy walking distance.
Historic Charm: The Kirkwall Hotel itself is a treasure trove of history. The corridors are adorned with captivating historic pictures, offering a glimpse into the past. A particularly delightful surprise was the beautifully preserved guest register dating back to 1948, adding a unique touch to the ambiance.
Peaceful and Inviting: My room was impeccably clean and offered a serene atmosphere, free from any disruptive noise. The view of the harbor was an added bonus, providing a picturesque backdrop to my stay.
Highly Recommended: The Kirkwall Hotel offers an exceptional combination of comfort, history, and exceptional service. Whether you're a business traveler or a leisure guest, this hotel caters to a truly enjoyable stay. I would highly recommend the Kirkwall Hotel to anyone visiting Orkney. In fact, I look forward to returning myself in the future.

Breakfast was so tasty. I would recommend the scrambled eggs and toast any time. I can't even eat the bread once I came back home. It doesn't taste as good. I would recommend making a reservation for dinner also. The food was fresh and well cooked. And don't forget to order the fried cheese. 🤤
Stromness is a great base for exploring Orkney. The town is charming, with winding narrow streets of small independent shops. Eating out can be a challenge but the deli, bakery and small supermarket provide options for picnics. There is plenty of public parking at the harbourside.

Stromness is the perfect place to stay for visiting the many historical and archaeological sites in West Mainland. There are magnificent cliff walks on the west coast, and plenty of bird-watching opportunities.

The views and attractions were outstanding.
The views and attractions were outstanding. We were not prepared for the fact that cruise ships arrived at the island causing large crowds at the attractions. Also though many places the staff were helpful and friendly sometimes we felt service could improve in regards to how we were treated as visitors to the island. As far as the island itself it was an astounding place to visit with beautiful scenery and fascinating history.

Walking slowly through historical Stromness—see the blue plaques on the buildings -was fascinating. Don’t miss the Stromness Museum, a treasure trove of historical artifacts and the nicest man staffing the front desk, answering any questions you may have. I loved the site of Login’s Well, where ships of old, including Captain Cook’s ships, came to draw fresh water for their voyages. You are literally walking in their footsteps here.

Stromness is a lovely town with a lot of quirky streets and alleyways. We loved the town but there are very few places to eat and it is a struggle to find somewhere. Luckily our Hosts at our B&B 45 John Street did the most amazing evening meals if you wished to eat in.

The ladies at reception were very pleasant n helpful. We had a pleasant time. I'd go back there and would recommend to others that I know who would appreciate this type of hotel. However, there are some who just want all very modern accommodation and this is a mixture.
