The Stromness Hotel

I had a fantastic stay at The Stromness Hotel. The hospitality was outstanding, and the staff were warm and welcoming, especially Scott and Wendy, who were always ready to help with local tips and recommendations. They truly made me feel at home. The room was spotless and comfortable, with beautiful views of the harbor and surrounding landscape. Breakfast was excellent, and the location is ideal, just a short walk from the ferry terminal, local shops, and the Stromness Museum. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Stromness!

The hotel is a sort of antique, but it is just fit my likings. The meals in the restaurant is excellent. Especially the fish and chip which my daughter ordered. Very fresh. I only met one hotel staff during my staff. He is very kind and helpful. Private parking location is in the the back of the hotel but up on the hill in the back. Which needs some patience to find it out even with a simple map put on the front desk. Afterall, with that price tag, I am very satisfied. Adam

We booked last minute and we had a good room. There is a lift in the building. The breakfast was not included in our price and the first day we had a buffet, that was great. The second day, there was no buffet, but we could order. The staff was very friendly !! It is an old building but inside is everything you need and very contemporary.

Stromness itself felt like a beautifully preserved jar of history and the Stromness Hotel was a perfectly fitting piece within it. We arrived quite late, but the staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth check-in for us. The rooms, though simple, were cozy and well-appointed.

The hotel is just walking distance to the pier and coop shop. there are a lot of restaurants around the area as well. A perfect place if you want to explore around orkney's highlights such as skara brea, ring of brodgar and yesnaby cliffs. there is a cycle hire near the hotel as bus times are really hard to come by. I like my room, despite is budget friendly, it has the view of the sea and a decent space. Receptionist Ula is amazing and approachable, she greeted me at the entrance and oriented me to the place such as fire exit, alarm tests (at a certain day) and the restaurant for breakfast, shes also knowledgeable around the area. There are other workers during that time as they are doing a bit of renovation but everyone is friendly and welcoming. the renovation didnt bother me at all. i had a good nights sleep and the bed is so comfortable. The second day I met Ellie, another receptionist which is also great, we had a good conversation about Orkney. would come back again and definitely book to this place again
