The Royal Hotel Stromness

Clean, well-appointed, comfortable, quiet. Right in the center of Stromness, 5 minute walk from the ferry. Ours was a twin, two flights up. Only knock is no lift.

Add a mirror in the room for drying ones hair

Lovely large bed and very spacious room that was clean and well serviced throughout the week. Plenty of options at breakfast that sets you up nicely for the day. Very helpful staff that were engaging at all times. I did not use the bar but it was always busy and very popular. If travelling around, the hotel is well placed to reach the various ferry ports. Would definitely use again.

Quick check-in and very comfy room. Hotel is situated only 2min walk away from ferry terminal. Rooms were clean and bigh enough for us two and our luggage. Freshly prepared breakfast- nice! BUT the hotel has a bar on the ground floor and at 2 nights (out of 3) we really struggled to fall asleep because of the loud music and talks. I really love bars, but I also expect hotel rooms to be quiet (at least after 10pm).

Lovely staff, great breakfast, super-comfortable bed in a clean, spacious room.

Great place to stay, large and comfortable room which was nice and quiet even though it's above the bar. The breakfast was lovely too. It's shame they don't serve evening meals in the back lounge area of the bar as it looked a nice cost area. We would definitely stay here again.

Great, had to park a few blocks away but no big deal, room is nice with a nice comfy bed

Went for a drink on a Sunday afternoon, the barmaid with long grey hair ignored me at the bar for 5 minutes, walked past twice to chat to her pals, so we left. The pub dog was friendly, but not exactly a warm welcome. Shame as everyone else in Stromness seemed very nice.

Beautiful old hotel with fantastic friendly staff and one of the best full breakfasts we’ve had in the UK. It can be noisy with the pub downstairs (we were on the 1st floor) and the proximity to the other buildings. Dinner at the Ferry Inn which is the sister hotel was incredible. Make sure to have the scallops.

Great stay…..wonderful large updated room and bathroom. Large windows…..lots of light and great shades for night. Check in was simple. Bar on site. Great breakfast included…..so many good choices for a hit breakfast. Parking was the only concern for us…..but turned out to be easy. We parked at the ferry terminal….had to move our luggage but only 2 minutes away. Yes the terminal charges but when we parked at 4PM one day could pay till noon the next day. Supper was offered at their companion inn….The Ferry Inn….2 minute walk. Make reservations. Was a great place to eat with great good with great service.
