Excellent location by the ferry. Good food in the restaurant.

Tiny room. Somewhat dated. Staff friendly, but a little inattentive at times.

"Perfect for access to ferry"

6.0

Close to ferry terminal - Comfortable bed …. Lady on the bar was very friendly and welcoming…

Smelt musty - turned away from the restaurant at 8.30pm then turned away from Weigh Inn - luckily a kind local recommended the Pride of Bengal….

"Great room and location. Good food and friendly staff."

9.0

The location to the Orkney Ferry terminal was perfect. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay.

Through no fault of the hotel, it was difficult for us to take our suitcases up and down stairs but this is something we encounter everywhere we stay because we are travelling from Australia for 8 weeks and need extra cloths etc and there is no way to inform accommodation when making the booking.
