It was a standard and convenient hotel. The bed was comfortable and it was fairly quiet. No parking outside but we were able to park up close to drop off our bags. Long stay parking wasn't far but quite busy in May so will only get busier during summer months.

The property was well located within walking distance of shopping and the harbour. We ate at the restaurant for our evening meals, and the food was good. I had the local scallops, and they were the best scallops I have ever had. We had continental breakfast at the hotel and there was a nice variety for breakfast including boiled eggs, and local cheese. The bed was really uncomfortable, and I slept with my head lower than my feet as it slopped down. The pillows were hard. We felt the property was not great value for the amount we paid. As accommodation is hard to find in Kirkwall, this means the cost of a night's accommodation is more expensive. We paid 200 pound per night for a couple, and this did not include breakfast. The breakfast was an extra 13 pound per person.

Food and service in the pub was excellent. Breakfast was quite good, though maybe a little slow. The rooms are dated, but comfortable and clean.
