Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: I regularly stay in Kirkwall overnight as I live on the north isles and the bed was the best I've slept in by far, the bedroom was cool and airy and the shower had great pressure which are the two most important things for me.

Negative: It would have been nice to have a small fridge so I could store fresh milk but that's me trying to think hard for something to say negatively as it wasn't a negative thing at all.

Summary: Regular hotel users best nights sleep

Positive: Room was clean and there were enough amenities and its very quiet. I slept very well. Also, there was enough room to leave my luggage and my laptop while I went out to see Skara Brae all day and the city waiting for my next journey. The staff were very kind even the reception at the restaurant I wasn't a guest and I just borrowed fork to eat the food I bought from Tesco and she gave me the whole set i.e., spoon, fork and knife with table napkin, I told her Ill wash it when I bring it back and she said oh god don't! we'll clean it for you :-) very kind.

Negative: The price :-) but its understandable I went in summer and the island probably only make money during summer. Plus, I didn't book far ahead. But it is okay because I went for very specific thing I just want to see the Skara Brae.

Summary: The room is quiet I was able to rest for the next day and the staff are very kind.

Positive: Breakfast was amazing and considering there was the Island Games on the staff were exemplary.

Negative: Room was a very hot due to the weather so we had to sleep with the windows open and of course the noise wasn't conducive to a good nights sleep

Positive: Clean, comfortable and a central location. Deluxe king suite consisted of one double room, one twin room and a shared bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities were provided. Breakfast was in the Kirkwall Hotel next door.

Negative: The room would benefit from a fridge. The lower window in the twin room was not clean.

Summary: Central location, comfy suite
