Amazing and interesting place! It used to be a pub, so there's a bar in the living room. Host provided peat charcoal to burn in the little fireplace. Large "commercial" kitchen that used to support the pub, so don't expect a stylish residential kitchen. That said, there are two refrigerators and lots of prep space. Bathroom is very minimal, but my grown daughters LOVED staying here with the neighbor's animals straying into our yard, the dart board in the living room, and the beautiful rustic surroundings outside of the city. Everyone got their own bed, and there was lots of room to spread out for a family of 5. Would highly recommend staying here if you want a taste of local color (**Note: if you're looking for a polished hotel or professional bed and breakfast, this is not the place.**)

During my recent visit to Orkney, I had the pleasure of staying at the Kirkwall Hotel. This historic property exceeded expectations on all fronts. Exceptional Staff: The staff at the Kirkwall Hotel were incredibly professional and supportive. Their attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile made my stay truly memorable. From assisting with taxi arrangements to facilitating an extended stay due to a missed flight, their genuine hospitality was exceptional. Unmatched Location: The hotel's location is unbeatable. Situated in the heart of Kirkwall, it provides convenient access to a variety of amenities. Lidl, Tesco, restaurants, souvenir shops, and the magnificent Magnus Cathedral are all within easy walking distance. Historic Charm: The Kirkwall Hotel itself is a treasure trove of history. The corridors are adorned with captivating historic pictures, offering a glimpse into the past. A particularly delightful surprise was the beautifully preserved guest register dating back to 1948, adding a unique touch to the ambiance. Peaceful and Inviting: My room was impeccably clean and offered a serene atmosphere, free from any disruptive noise. The view of the harbor was an added bonus, providing a picturesque backdrop to my stay. Highly Recommended: The Kirkwall Hotel offers an exceptional combination of comfort, history, and exceptional service. Whether you're a business traveler or a leisure guest, this hotel caters to a truly enjoyable stay. I would highly recommend the Kirkwall Hotel to anyone visiting Orkney. In fact, I look forward to returning myself in the future.

What Guests Said About Stromness:

Scored out of 10, guest rating 10

The people are friendly, helpful and accommodating.

The people are friendly, helpful and accommodating. A lovely area to walk, take photographs and watch birds. Fantastic archaeology - everywhere, but I was the most impressed with Maesehow. You need to book a tour ahead to visit, and the archaeologist's talk was excellent There are regular buses to Kirkwall passing near the Ness of Brodgar. Ferries to Hoy and the Mainland There is a late opening Co-op with easy parking. Pack good waterproofs and a woolly hat - even in summer, it is windy. Beware 2 flight UK journeys to Kirkwall with short transfer times between. My first flight ran a bit late and my suitcase didn't arrive at Kirkwall until the next day. It seems this is far from unusual, so pack accordingly just in case.

Very nice visit. Limited eateries in May.

Very nice visit. Limited eateries in May. I didn't make a reservation at the Ferry Inn for the second night and they wouldn't let me in. Perhaps the hotel could have provided more insight or help making reservations. Other Scotland towns I visited (NC500 route) did make reservations because their towns are so small.

The Orkneys was vey beautiful with fantastic scenery but our trip was spoilt by the Stromness Hotel that we stayed at. (BIG MISTAKE). The owners should go to school and learn how to run a hospitality business as they haven't got a clue, unless you are the same ethnicity as them.

Stromness is a beautiful sea village that is in many ways untouched by time. The people are genuine and friendly, there are ample places to walk to discover little gardens and views, plenty of unique shops. There are not a lot of restaurants in the evening, but the two that are actively open are fantastic and their staff will make your visit memorable.

Delightful small historical seaport town built on the side of a hill best seen on foot due to narrow Main Street with many small ‘closes’ off leading to the traditional houses Free parking available in port area and most of old town accessible from there - easy walking Museum is worth a visit When coming ashore from ferry take a break and explore the town - the history is amazing from Captain Cook to John Rae through to the herring fishing and the modern ferry terminal

The Pier Arts Centre is well worth seeing - awesome architecture as well as art. The Vintage Paper Company (Printing) is a hidden gem, and look out for Otto, the shop dog. The Museum is good to see if you are happy walking through lots of interesting old streets and want to learn more of the social history of the area,
