The Royal Hotel

A good location for travelling around the mainland or getting to the various ferry terminals. The double room was spacious and comfortable with a modern shower that was ideal after a day touring. A good menu at breakfast both hot and cold that set you up perfectly for the day. The ladies serving in the morning were warm and friendly and provided an excellent service.

The restaurant is now closed so you had to either go to the sister hotel/restaurant for a meal but still had to book. Often this was full and it put more restrictions when travelling about for the day and having to look further afield to eat.

Great place. Nice people. Clean room

Central location in a pictureesque street. Lady who welcomed us very friendly.

The room was very nice and comfortable. Modern bathroom and shower were nice, too. The breakfast and service in the morning were delightful.

We were not informed that our room was directly above the popular bar downstairs. This made it practically impossible to sleep, especially on a Saturday night!

Lovely lady serving breakfast, location in central Stromness. Free carparking along the harbour 500m away

High price - though same for most Orkney hotels in summer. Narrow street for dropping off cases from car - best to do so at harbour and walk 200m.

This was a great hotel that provided an excellent starting off point for our all day adventures on Orkney. It is right by the Ferry for easy access. The room was clean, there was an extra alcove for a second bed for our daughter, and the breakfast was great. The room was over a bar which was a little noisy on Saturday night but not excessive and honestly we were so tired it wasn’t a problem.

More surfaces to put things on would have been nice. The window ledge was there but we also kept the window open so it didn’t work great for putting things on.
