The Royal Hotel Stromness

Great location on main street in heart of Stromness, very convenient for the bus to Kirkwall and hiring bike. The staff were very helpful and breakfast service was excellent. Unfortunately there was a problem with the lighting in the bathroom, which without a window for natural light was very dim.

There’s a back bar that’s bright and comfortable (ask the bartender how to get through). The rooms were small but comfortable. The people were so friendly in this little town. Great food but everything closes early. Far fewer tourists here. It’s a great stop!

Had a large room with a king size bed. Great experience, helpful staff.

Super hospitality

Excellent service

This was such a welcoming and friendly place to stay. They were even kind enough to let us do our laundry. Thanks Moira and Scott! Comfortable room with great breakfast and supper is always great at The Ferry Inn.

Very welcoming check-in with Scott, who was also a lot of fun at the bar! Room was spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy exploring Orkney. Breakfast was so much food and wonderful service both mornings. We had dinner at the sister inn Ferry Inn and enjoyed owner Gareth's service numerous times as he seems to be everywhere! All around cheerful hospitality and a lot of laughs in our stay, making Royal Hotel a fun part of our Orkney experience!

Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were excellent. Our room was Ok but the shower in the bathroom was poor and let the room down. We had an enjoyable stay in Orkney. There is only limited parking outside the hotel so used nearby longstay parking. It is a pity that the hotel does not provide food in the evenings but the food at the sister hotel "The Ferry Inn " was good to excellent. We would stay again.

I will start with the positive side Room is of good size and the breakfast was great that’s where it ends. Bathroom hadn’t been cleaned since previous guest left it. Toothpaste in sink toilet stained. No hot water in the morning all guests said they had same issue. Now for the noise in the evening coming from bar and smokers outside take earplugs it went on right through to early hours. The stale bar smells in the stair area is not pleasant! Not worth the money they charge sadly

Geräumiges sauberes Zimmer, schöne Aussicht, direkt im Ortskern gelegen, sehr gutes Frühstück und sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
