We only really saw staff at the hotel when we checked in and out. Otherwise it seemed relatively unattended. Noise from the pub carried upstairs into our room. The hotel has no lift, which I understand, but I sorted my search by places with lifts and it still came up. My friend has problems with stairs, so it was kind of inconvenient. Overall am OK stay, but next time I would stay in Kirkwall.

Great location on main street in heart of Stromness, very convenient for the bus to Kirkwall and hiring bike. The staff were very helpful and breakfast service was excellent. Unfortunately there was a problem with the lighting in the bathroom, which without a window for natural light was very dim.

There’s a back bar that’s bright and comfortable (ask the bartender how to get through). The rooms were small but comfortable. The people were so friendly in this little town. Great food but everything closes early. Far fewer tourists here. It’s a great stop!

Very welcoming check-in with Scott, who was also a lot of fun at the bar! Room was spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy exploring Orkney. Breakfast was so much food and wonderful service both mornings. We had dinner at the sister inn Ferry Inn and enjoyed owner Gareth's service numerous times as he seems to be everywhere! All around cheerful hospitality and a lot of laughs in our stay, making Royal Hotel a fun part of our Orkney experience!
