Kirkwall Youth Hostel
10/10 Excellent
"Kirkwall youth hostel had very clean rooms, the amenities were great, the place was laid out well so everything was easy to find and the staff were very helpful."
The Ayre Hotel
8/10 Good
"Handy hotel for parkrun. Good quality I’d expect from its rating but shocked they didn’t supply a toothpaste which I’d forgotten. Even as an Airbnb Host I would be able to do that and would expect nothing less from a hotel, especially when listed available in their hotel info book"
Albert Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Loved it there."
The Orkney Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Staff was very accommodating. The large tub with jets was relaxing. The central location was excellent. Hot breakfast and selection was very good. We plan to come back. Highly recommend."
Karrawa Guest House
10/10 Excellent
"Perfect stay! Conveniently located a 15min walk from Kirkwall centre, and plenty of free parking at the property. The room was spacious, well furnished, clean, and a comfortable bed. Fyona was an excellent host; warm and friendly full of knowledge. Breakfast was delicious, setting up perfectly for whatever the day brought."
