Superb location close to the Cathedral and Harbour and "downtown Kirkwall". We booked Dinner, B&B and the price was competitive, the room excellent and comfortable, the food tasty and filling and of high quality. Breakfast too was really good. Staff members were friendly, and we received an upgrade when our heating malfunctioned. Orkney is a fabulous place to visit...scenic, quiet... More

The hotel was in an excellent location to wander around Kirkwall. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely and quiet and the restaurant served fantastic food - the variety and quality was outstanding.

This was our first trip to Orkney and after a bit of research we picked the Orkney Hotel for our stay. It has a great location in Kirkwall surrounded by the history of the Island. You literally cross the road to reach the Cathedral. We booked in for dinner, bed and breakfast and the food was absolutely fantastic. Real quality... More

I stayed for one night at The Orkney Hotel, my first visit to Orkney. I stayed in a double room overlooking the main road outside. The room, whilst the decor was dated, was impeccably clean.

The room however was the only downfall as my room in particular was very small, and for a 3 night stay, it did become cholstrophobic. However, this was the only downside, the friendly staff and excellent food made my stay worthwhile. This... More

Stayed here twice over the summer. I come back to the Orkney Hotel to book the pet friendly annex rooms. I've stayed in a twin room and a huge double room and found them both quite comfortable. I travel with my dog so it is important to find a place for both of us! Staff is always very friendly and... More

Stayed here on business during the week. Very satisfied with customer service as my agency had made a mistake with the booking. Hotel reception sorted everything and gave me an upgrade! Good sized room, good mattress and nice hot shower. Ordered room service for dinner, but did eat breakfast in dining room next morning. Good selection, friendly wait staff. Enjoyed... More

The hotel is centrally located on the main street in Kirkwall a few minutes from St Magnus Cathedral. Easily accessed by public transport from the airport and ferry terminal. It my second time staying here, both times I was accommodated in the same room. The rooms are comfortable, but could do with a modernisation. The tv in the room only... More
