9.2/10 Wonderful! (104 reviews)
It was our first time in Shetland and from the day we arrived the staff could not have done anything more for us they went over and above to help us with places to go things to see . We arrived 5 hours early and they still let us check in so we could catch up on some sleep, Scott and Curtis are just fantastic they also go over and above to help they so friendly and happy which was nice to see and the singing was not to bad either ,The hotel is located in a very central location as there is a Chinese five minutes up the road and a chippy two minutes walk down from the hotel and a coop at the bottom of the hill , that is of course if you don’t want to eat in the hotel as the food is just as good too. I would certainly recommend this hotel.
