The Stromness Hotel

Very good fresh cooked breakfast. It wasn't on the hot self servers which there may be if there were more guests. Room location was easy access from the car park at the rear of the hotel at the same level. Large twin room with just about a view to the harbour and ferries through the trees. No restrictions on bringing dogs to the restaurant. Quick responses to all messages before arrival and manned reception until midnight when we arrived at 11.45pm

Room was a bit tired but wasn't in a bad state. No lift from the main entrance to the first floor reception or the rooms on the second floor (not a problem from the car park which is at floor 2 level to the rear). Lots of negative reviews in the press which put me off but the hotel was way better than this.

Great location for ferry terminal

Too expensive for the shoe box size bedroom I was given. Melbourne or Sydney prices! The place is so run down. Definitely not value for money!!

Location snd room had fantastic view

Old ! Room had stain all Over carpet and walls . Ceiling had brown marks all over , couch was filthy and stained Heater did not work so we froze Hotel hallway where we had to enter from parking was atrocious and the smell of dog feces was horrible ! It can be such an amazing place but not u til someone buys it and pays all money due and remodels !! Also the price was way toooooo muchfor this hotel

Location was fine and staff were very friendly and helpful.

General decoration was old and not well kept. Windows rattled with wind overnight. Breakfast was adequate but bread, croissants and continental breakfast meats/cheese were not fresh. Cooked breakfast delivered before cereals were consumed. Soup spoons only for consumption of cereals. General lack of meal service etiquette. A shame because the staff were most helpful - they just don't know how to deliver the service. They need training. 148 steps from street pavement to allocated bedroom on third floor. Sadly no working lift.

Location & views from our room, part history of Orkney this hotel.

breakfast not included, added Cost after paying City rates.

We booked this hotel last minute as we were due to stay on a campsite with storm Dave approaching. The hotel was clearly in the process of opening for the season but the staff were very friendly and allowed us access to the room early which was very much appreciated as our daughter had not faired well on a rough crossing. We were given one of the rooms facing the front which was bigger than I had expected and had a great view across the harbour. The restaurant was not open at the time of our stay so I cannot comment on this.

The room was cold and we couldn't get the heater to work, same goes for the TV but watching the comings and goings in the harbour provided enough entertainment.
