“We had a great stay here. Located in a historic building and a stones throw from the cathedral so easy walking distance to Kirkwall attractions and easy access to roads for all parts of the island.
Very friendly welcome and a tasty breakfast each morning.
It is a historic building so stairs and corridors but clean and safe with a comfy bed, what more do you need?
We would happily go back to Orkney and hopefully when we do we will be able to book the West End Hotel for our stay.”
“Handy hotel for parkrun. Good quality I’d expect from its rating but shocked they didn’t supply a toothpaste which I’d forgotten. Even as an Airbnb Host I would be able to do that and would expect nothing less from a hotel, especially when listed available in their hotel info book”
“This is a great family-run hotel whose owners and family work their socks off to ensure you have a nice stay.
The highlight of the hotel is restaurant and pub, which serves really lovingly prepared meals using local ingredients, good portions and honest prices. The staff are all really friendly and there’s a great choice of local beers and whiskeys to try.
Of course, its location just in front of the port with its ferry terminal and bus centre is also a highlight too - just roll out of bed……
“This hotel was very convenient for a stay off the ferry from Scrabster. It was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful.”
“My second time staying here, and I will be back. The room was spacious super clean and comfy and the woman on reception couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. It's a shame they don't reopen the restaurant for evening meals though, I'm sure they would be busy every night. The Co-op has changed to an Asda - it's right across the road and the hotel offers wine glasses in the lounge if you bring a bottle in to your room. Very nice place.”
“Staff was very accommodating. The large tub with jets was relaxing. The central location was excellent. Hot breakfast and selection was very good. We plan to come back. Highly recommend.”
