location excellent, but car-parking a bit of a pain as one had to move the car every morning by 9.am or get locked in to paying for another 3 hours parking.

see above. the staff were polite and very accommodating

This hotel was first class, the perfect location for me due to the bulk of my work being in Stromness and with the ferry terminal quite literally just across the road, I could not ask for more. Unfortunately for me the restaurant was closed in the evening due to the end of the season but, if the food was as good as the absolutely delicious breakfast then there was nothing to dislike. The rooms and indeed the hotel overall was a delight to stay in and I look forward to a return visit.

Leaving and the poor weather, however, in all honesty, the weather is part of the experience. Love Orkney.

Most of the rooms are in a block behind the pub/restaurant you see when you come off the ferry but they are a good size with good showers, plenty of space for luggage, chargers and so forth. There is a laundrette in the ferry terminal. Proper breakfast served in the restaurant, which also does decent food in the evening - if you're staying any length of time in Stromness, it will be worth booking it.

There are few eating options in Stromness on Sunday and, especially, Monday so make sure you book something in advance or get something from the Co-op before it closes - it's a 5-10 min walk along the harbour road.

Stayed here to have an easy place to rest at the end of a busy travel day by train, to Thurso and, finally, on the ferry from Scrabster to Stromness. The location right across from the ferry terminal proved to be excellent. The room was very spacious. The bathroom was modern, and up to standards. The bed was very comfortable. This hotel is not only in an excellent location for the ferry terminal, but also for exploring Stromness, one of Orkney’s cutest towns. The staff was really friendly and helpful, and allowed us to store our luggage for a couple of hours. The breakfast was good, and it was nice that the breakfast hours were quite flexible.

Location to ferry could not have been better The room was spacious, as was the bathroom Couldn't fault the cleanliness Breakfasts were cooked fresh to order and there was plenty of variety available

Couldn't find the drop off point for the keys on checkout ( it was early and reception wasn't open). Therefore I ended up just leaving the key in the lock for housekeeping to find. The 'double' bed was actually two twins joined together - this formed a hard ridge between the beds and made it uncomfortable to sleep in the middle of the bed. Windows opened directly onto a laneway and so didn't feel secure leaving them open during the day to let fresh air into the room.

A comfortable room with modern facilities. Great service from hotel and restaurant staff.

Our room was on the top floor with a very steep final of stairs to navigate - not easy while carrying luggage up or down. While great service and a nice room, it was expensive compared to 20+ other hotels we have stayed in during our 4 week tour of the UK - we acknowledge there are limited other options for a single night's stay in Stromness though

Excellent location, clean, comfortable room, lovely staff

Concerned about checkout,exit time 10.30 ,after breakfast returned to room at 9.45 to find belongings in hallway and room being cleaned.mentiomed this to staff member who told me that the cleaner probably thought we had already left!? I asked how could this be when belongings were still in our room, she then remarked maybe she was going to return belongings to the room after cleaning, which made no sense whatsoever.I remarked that anyone could have stolen belongings out on the landing (purse included) to which she replied don't worry everyone is honest here!!!

Great location next to ferry terminal and main bus stop. Good food inc evening meals.

The info in the room said that breakfast was until 9.00 but this had not been updated to reflect the summer times when the latest breakfast was 8.45. After we mentioned this, an updated sheet was put under our door, but it did seem to us that it was a significant oversight to change the hours without changing the info in the rooms.

Very friendly and supporting staff. Had probably the room with the best view: one window directly in the opposite of the ferry terminal and pier/port and one roof window directly above my bed to watch the sky. Very near to bus station, ferry terminal and main street of Stromness. Very good scottish breakfast - I liked the salmon. The dinner in the restaurant of the hotel was good as well.

I loved this hotel! This was the cutest room for one at the top floor of the inn. It had a skylight that opened for fresh air that looked over the tops of houses, and the other window looked out over the harbor. The bathroom mirror was amazing. It was the perfect ambient lighting to get ready. I need one for my bathroom at home. Because the room was so high up and away from the other rooms, it was also very quiet. I felt like I was the only person in the hotel.

The entryway/closet didn't have a light
