The property is well positioned close to the centre of Lerwick with ample street parking. It was fully equipped, meticulously clean, the beds were comfortable and offered good value for money. Run as a family business they certainly take pride in their investment and without being intrusive ensure all you needs are met. Excellent accommodation.

The location is great… very close to town centre, boat departures, coastal walks, supermarket.
The hostel is in a lovely old wooden building and is very well maintained. The kitchen is well equiped.

I was in Lerwick during a stretch of unpleasant weather - cold and rainy with strong winds sometimes gusting at gale force. I would not recommend October or probably not winter. I will return, but next time in May or June! The city and surrounding towns are worth the visit. Next time I make the journey I will go to Kirkwall, too,

This is where you need to base if you want to explore the Shetland Islands. We found a great tour guide who took us all the way to the northern end of Unst and with his 40+ year history on the island was a wealth of information. Message me if you want his contact info.
We also did one of the wildlife boat tours which was great!

We very much enjoyed seabird watching tour departing from the small boat ferry port in Lerwick, which is really recommended! We brought a car rented at Aberdeen to Orkney/Shetland by ferries and it was nicely worked. Taking your own car is recommend as the great bird watching and archaeological sites are far away from Lerwick. Unfortunately the puffin season was over when we were in the Orkney/Shetland. I would like to visit again to see puffins!

Lerwick, well known to many people because of the TV series 'Shetland', is a charming town with many interesting features. Most importantly, the people are very friendly and welcoming to visitors, a good thing as during the summer months it is a regular stop off for cruise ships.
The town centre is tucked just behind the sea front and contains interesting local shops, cafes and restaurants. Our favourite was 'The Dowry', which has great food and excellent coffee. Visit Fort Charlotte, take a walk around the Nab for breathtaking views, catch a ferry across the sound to the island of Bressay, peruse the outstanding (and free) Shetland Museum or walk out of town to explore the ancient Broch of Clickimin. Of course, there is also a tour of the locations used to film 'Shetland'.

Lerwick is a great base for shorter excursions around the islands. We could have stayed longer for more hiking and half/full day visits. Shetland has a lot to offer. The nature is outstanding and people are very friendly.
We really enjoyed our tour with Lara Thomason who guided us around south Shetland and took us the the north west cliffs of Shetland. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to hang with. Next time it will be for hiking!

A lovely place with plenty to do.
A lovely place with plenty to do. Those of you who want to relax can enjoy the amazing scenery and wildlife from many locations around Lerwick and even when having a coffee or eating dinner at some of the locations.
Pleasantly surprised that keeping rooms warm is a thing in the Shetlands.
Warm room, simple but hot reliable shower.
Very nice. It's not like a modern hotel but felt cozy.
Like staying at your Gran's but better. Breakfast was lovely and so was the lady who serves it. She gave us lots of nice conversation and helpful advise.
I also like that the other tourists who stay here are totally not like the brits you find in Alicante
The breakfast area is a place to hear interesting stories and pick up tips of where to go.
I was on my own on a work trip.
I felt safe, warm and comfortable.
My colleagues were all in the harbour on a boat but I had to be onshore. Great WiFi for working and a lush bed for relaxing.
A beautifully presented apartment with everything you’d ever need and more.
I cannot fault this accommodation in anyway.
I need to come back in 2024. Unfortunately it’s all booked and I’m at a loss as nothing in Lerwick compares.
Gutted.
Chef Micky not only made me feel very welcome, he also made the BEST breakfast! All kinds of choices and I had eggs and bacon. I loved looking out the window to the bay. I also loved the coffee!!
Parking very convenient. Restaurants, shopping, the wharf, docks all right there. Historical buildings abound and The Grand Hotel is among the very best.
The hotel was neither far from the center of the town (about ten minutes walking distance) nor from the countryside (in less than five minute's drive could be out and away of town). Breakfast was abundant and more like a Scottish breakfast than a continental one. Could keep going till dinner time without a real need for a lunch break.
Stunning views, fantastic location, spotlessly clean room. Exceptionally comfortable bed with top quality linen. Great bath sheets and loads of hot water for the bath.
Hotel is obviously in the process of being refurbished and it's going to be a jewel in Lerwick's crown when the refurbishment is completed.
Great value for money!
The room is immaculately clean. Love the small personalised touches e.g. chocolate mints, tea, coffee and chocolate milk tray (kettle). We were able to use their kitchen. The host doesn't live in the same place so it is like a hotel. REally warm friendly hosts. The breakfast is yummy. The location is amazing! Will visit again!
We loved our stay here. Apartment is basic but clean and cosy, and a few minutes walk from the centre of Lerwick and the ferry terminal. Our ferry arrived early in the morning and the host accommodated an early check-in for us and was very quick to respond to our message. Good value for money and would recommend.
The apartment was very well appointed. We had everything we needed. Including TV and WiFi.
It was clean and comfortable.
There was a washing machine and outside drying area if required.
The location was good, only a few minutes from the centre if Lerwick.
It had private parking.
Plus a little welcome pack.
The location for Lerwick is brilliant. The bus stop just outside of the hotel (we got the bus south to Sumburgh Lighthouse). Easy walk to Tesco's if needed, and the port not too far.
Breakfast was delicious, good atmosphere and didn't feel rushed.
Wifi speed is excellent; upstairs heat works well; free nearby parking is convenient, right up the hill; great location in downtown Lerwick; refrigerator size is quite large; lighting in the apartment is very good; tv had many UK channels
An absolutely charming hotel. And Amanda the owner is wonderful. Location is great and is mere minutes from the center of Lerwick. And our room was cozy and inviting. We loved our stay at the Norlande! Highly recommended.
The apartment was warm, clean and well equipped. It was also pretty central in Lerwick so we walked to most places we wanted to go to. There was supplies left in the kitchen which was nice too. We would rent again if available.
What a lovely place to stay!! Staff were wonderful. Breakfasts were generous and very nice. Music was good! We enjoyed the ferry back and forth to Lerwick and the costs of this were reasonable.
We stayed for a week and used it as a base for exploring Shetland as it was conveniently quite close to Lerwick centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were great.
Although the room was spotlessly clean, the hotel was EXTREMELY tired and most of the furniture, fixtures and fittings should have been replaced years ago.
