The Stromness Hotel

Faded glory. Very over-priced. Shower had not been cleaned properly since previous guest. Housekeeping door (with COSSH label re hazardous substances within) was lwft unlocked / open for half my stay. No lift so stairs were a chore. No-smokiny policy not enforced properly (guests were opening the fire door outside my room to smoke, the fumes of which were then present in my room.

Car park with direct access to bedroom level.

Overall the hotel was quite tired looking in decor, carpets, bathroom fittings.

The room was fine. It was clean. The en-suite was a bit dated. The young staff were generally helpful but there seemed to be a lack of management.

The catering was poor. Breakfast was especially so. There was a limited selection of items for a continental breakfast. The cooked items were mainly overcooked and scant. Eggs were limited to scrambled and not replaced promptly. They had no orange juice by 0800 this morning. Dinner was not available in the hotel on our second night. The hotel is over 4 levels but the lift has been broken since last year. The smart TV was difficult to operate as well! It was not good value for money at £220 per night.

Great location. Right opposite the harbour and on the front line with the port. Staff were all very nice, professional and friendly. Truely great staff. Cullen skink soup was good. Fish and chips good.

It’s not licenced to sell alcohol. So no wine with dinner or beer or scotch. The bar only sold non alcoholic drinks. The standard rooms are small and tight with quite small bathrooms. Does need a renovation. No lift/elevator. We were on the 3rd floor and it was quite a walk up particularly with bags.

100M away from Ferry terminal.

Very very high cost, poor room condition, poor room facilities, poor value for money.

Old building full of character- great location.

As they don’t serve any alcohol and have closed the bars, the hotel is somewhat removed from the life of the town..

Lovely hotel Great location. Excellent staff. Good breakfast But very expensive on balance

The hotel is pretty dated - for this price I expected a little more

The hotel car park has a skip full to overflowing, and this, as well as disused furniture and scrap metal reduced the hotel parking, on an island where parking spaces are hard to find. We were not given the code to the fire door but were lucky enough to meet another couple of guests who did and let us in. The manageress was aloof and abrupt but the 2 girls working in the restaurant rescued the hotel from getting a lower grading. The hotel also let itself down with the amount of litter at the under side of the hotel, as well as seemingly dumped bedding.
