The Royal Hotel

Friendly staff and location

The bed and the bathroom were clean.

The carpet was not clean and the bathroom was extremely small. The person serving breakfast thinks she’s funny and was making jokes and comments to every guest choice of breakfast. They barely had anything that I could eat (I know it’s not their fault that I have dietary restrictions) but she couldn’t help herself but to comment that my food was “not very palatable” when she brought it to the table. Wasn’t even an option not to pay for breakfast.

The position is good. Near to the Pier from where every ferry departs.

We didnt like the absebce of the front office and the lack of assistance of the costumer. Moreover the price for a small room Is too high.

Comfortable , clean….and great breakfast…

No dinner available !!! Single room , very tiny !!!

Clean rooms, building in good condition, great location for getting to and from Stromness on public transit, and poking around town on foot or with a bike. Tasty breakfast, with limited serving hours (starts at 7:30, last orders by 8:45). Hotel was able to store luggage for us on our departure day which was a big plus. Staff might tell you what they think in a no nonsense kind of way, but they always offered us genuine help when we asked for it. Note that there is currently no restaurant in the evening here. We found it a good idea to make restaurant reservations around town ahead of time: check out Adam's Place and the restaurant at the Ferry Inn.

Beautiful spacious room, with spacious modern bathroom and cosy bed. Lovely breakfasts, excellent cosy private bar. Parking close by/out front if you time it right. Staff - amazing! Chef so lovely and lady on breakfast duty also - helped set up so we could watch the All Blacks v England rugby match early in the morning. Chef also showed some interesting local events being the Orca visiting the harbour. Made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts were great - lots of choice
