Nice old style hotel. Room was comfortable. Great views across the water. Currently being renovated so no restaurant and reception is rarely staffed during the day.

Jayden, Megan and Shawn were friendly and helpful and kind. The hotel is very very old but beautiful and the beds clean and comfortable. The hotel is right in the water so you fall asleep to water lapping at the walls. The hotel is also super convenient as it is right next to the main shopping street. Highly recommend

The place is so dirty and under renovations, didn’t feel safe at all. When I wanted to cancel my booking I was told i will not get a refund, that’s daylight robbery. The property was advertised and there was no mention of it being under renovation.

The view of the water was nice. The cleanliness was very good. The mattresses and pillows need to be replaced. That being said, I slept well. The hotel, however, is in need of TLC. The location was excellent. The staff we met was kind. We were grateful for the availability.

The hotel was clean, warm but dated. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The fact that there was no restaurant meant no meal or breakfast but the staff advised me of lovely alternatives. I believe the hotel has just changed hands so probably just getting things organised and i hope it works for them.

This place is shuttered but they are still taking prepaid reservations. I booked it online. Locals here say it’s being closed was a blessing in disguise since the place is essentially “a dump.”

Such a shame that a hotel in great Location is getting bad reviews however although outside renovation being don inside very dates. Has so much potential. Room had rusted towel rail and toilet roll holder no shower wash in shower. Also no bar area or lounge or dining facilities yet still being advertised on Expedia as a hotel. I wouldn't even rate it as b and b as no food available . I do hope the owners manage to get upgrade done as going back 12 years our stay was excellent

古い建物なので、部屋や廊下の狭さはまるで船室のようで、ただ、それも面白かったです。トイレの水がなかなかでないのが難点でしたが、タンクに水を追加すれば問題ないことがわかりましたし、浴室の水やお湯は問題なく出ました。設備は古いけど、それを補う面白さと心配りがあり、とくに、バスマットが各自用にあり、さすが老舗の心配りだと思いました。とても気にいりました。

Charmigt hotell med perfekt läge! Gammalt och under reparation! Vi hade 63 trappsteg upp till ett väldigt charmigt rum med havsutsikt! Ingen hiss! Daglig städning i princip obefintlig!

It's an old hotel that could be very nice and probably was at one time. Carpeting and wallpaper very worn. Bathroom was large and clean which was nice but faucet handles fell off when used, toilet paper roll kept falling off, etc. TV didn't work and we were told someone would come check it out which never happened. Restaurant was closed so had to walk into the town every morning for breakfast and coffee. Supposedly new owners who plan on fixing it up - would be interested if that happens.

Terrible room and good luck trying to check-in.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews even if I have a bad experience but this hotel is really terrible, if it was a cheap rate you could understand, but we were knocking on almost £300 a night. Arrived there at 2.00pm, the time that check-in opens. No one there, reception has a phone and a note to call for assistance. There was 3 numbers, first two didn’t work. Third I got through to someone who said they would just ‘pop down’. 15 mins nobody arrived, tried calling the numbers again, nobody answers. Tried again and again and nobody responds. Ended up waiting almost an hour in their reception which has no wifi, no phone signal (so no 4G or mobile calls can be made), so sat waiting doing nothing. A guy arrives through the front door and gives us a key, no apologies, no small talk, just room number and here’s your key, just make sure you know there will be no breakfast. Room was terrible, wallpaper peeling off everywhere, heater massively dented, shower head held together by tape, windows rotting and permanently open, the tiny tv didn’t work, everything metal in the bathroom rusted. To be fair, the mattress was relatively comfortable but a very dated room that needs a lot of work but has been neglected for a long time. This isn’t just one room, this is the second time I have stayed there and the room (and reception experience) was just the same. The problem is that there is a lack of hotel rooms in Shetland and so you end up having no choice if you leave it late to book.

Som forventet

Hotellet var som vi forventet, 3 stjernes. Men greit nok, små rom og nyoppusset bad, og en enkel frokost. Hotellet trenger nok en liten oppussing, men er det gammelt så skal det jo være det. Ellers er det generellt irriterende at Hotels.com legger på 15% på hotellets pris. Og det skjer hver gang, og etter 10 ganger så skal Hotels.com være så generøse at de gir 1 gratis overnatting og kaller det en bonusnatt. Den har jeg jo betalt selv, og mer enn verdien av den såkalt gratisnatten. Derfor er det lite fristende å benytte denne portal for kommende reiser.

Medelmåttigt hotell med centralt läge.

Gammalt och slitet, små rum, mycket heltäckningsmattor och varmt på rummet.Bra städning på rummet. Slarvigt efterhåll av renlighet vid frukosten. Stressad personal vid frukost. Hyfsad service vid frukost och i reception, Frukosten var inte så mycket i min smak, Ingen färsk frukt eller några bär till flingor och liknande. Ingen kaka eller liknande till kaffet. Inget pålägg till brödet förutom marmelad. Medskickad frukost sista dagen var ett plus.

There is an almost Victorian atmosphere to this place - all dark wood, subdued ochre paintwork and 19th century portraits and paintings in elaborate gilt frames adorning the walls. The rooms are modern enough though, but do heed the advice given about the use of the large key fob to switch on the electrics. The bathroom is equipped with a shower but not the walk-in variety, so care needs to be taken. However, it is simple enough to operate. It is located by the old harbour, handy for the town centre and actually overlooking the sea on one side. It overlooks Commercial St on the other but there is not great problem with noise. Staff are friendly and helpful and there was no problem about checking in earlier than the specified time. A good restaurant for an evening meal and a buffet breakfast where you could eat as much as you want for a day of Shetland exploration.
