Although this guest house sounds very Scottish it is all about Thailand. The decor reflects the strong Thai influence but the room was clean- crisp white sheets, and spacious. I had shampoo and soap provided and lots of towels- they were a wee bit smelly but not too bad. The shower was dated with a full screen but it did... more

Although the room was somewhat cosy, there was a good sized bathroom and powerfull shower. The room, as was the restaurant, was exceptionally clean on arrival and the room was cleaned very well each day. We only ate breakfast there, although they serve Thai food and were quite busy at night. There was a good choice of cold and freshly... more

We enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly, and we enjoyed breakfast in the mornings. I would certainly recommend. more

Have stayed here a number of times. Not much has changed. At £50/night B&B for single occupancy of twin value is OK for Shetland where hotels & guest houses are generally overpriced. Room quite nice. Nicely decorated & appointed OK. Bathroom OK except towels still aren't changed for multi-night stays & they smell a bit. No shampoo - seems to... more

Thankfully my stay was only for one night, the greeting on arrival was less than welcoming, the room was decorated in awful gwady pictures and wallpaper, the bed linen dirty, the duvet smelt and the shower a blast from the 1960's. We were greeted with a question of how we got into the hotel, "the people in front of us... more

This guest house made a comfortable stay in Lewrick. It is a short walk to the centre and the rooms were comfortable. I'm not sure how it compares to hotels; although the stated rates made the guest house better value. Breakfast was great with some special orders available if you preferred local fish etc. The room was fine although, as... more

This property has so much potential but really could use some updates. My boyfriend, sister and I stayed here for two nights. We had rooms 9 & 12 straight across from each other. 12 had a nice view out to the backside of the harbor. The rooms were large but the beds were a bit uncomfortable (I think the mattress... more

In September, 2006, my husband and I stayed 3 nights at the Glen Orchy Hotel, Lerwick. It was comfortable, clean, friendly, and had the best breakfast of our trip! A couple things to note: it is 3 stories and there is no lift. Our room, on the 3rd floor, was small, very small, and the bed made a funny noise... more

I have stayed here several times now and always found it to be good. It is reasonably priced and the rooms are fine although fairly basic. Parking is good. Conveniently, there are lots of single rooms, decoration is neutral and fresh. Working the TV is a challenging IQ test. The breakfast is excellent. Lots of interesting books to browse in... more
