Cracking stay again - rooms fair size & clean with comfy bed & a decent shower. Food down in the bar is tremendous & really well priced, quality pint of Guinness & the very pleasant & attentive staff were great. Only downside was the wifi wasn’t working. Will stay again undoubtedly!

Friendly, clean hotel. Lovely location, continental breakfast was included but various cooked options were also available. We ate in the bar one evening and drinks in the bar both evenings we stayed, both very reasonably priced & enjoyable. Mix of locals and hotel guests, good atmosphere. Would recommend and would return.

A lot of good, but struggled with some availability eg a chef to cook food in the evening and some things at breakfast. Staff generally tried very hard to please.

Pleasant comfortable stay, good food
We stayed for a few days while exploring Shetland. Our room was comfortable and warm, with a modern (if snug) en-suite bathroom. The dining room had a good and interesting menu; dinner portions were enormous. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. There was, at times, a little music from the bar audible in the bedroom.

I was disappointed with my return visit to this hotel. My room was clean and comfortable but the noise of the extractor fans in adjacent rooms were noisy and woke me early this morning. Breakfast was slow and made me run late for work that I was travelling for.
Lovely location and friendly staff.

The bed was too short. the duvet was too thin (cold) and too short. The wifi didn't work. There were no blinds to screen out morning light at 04.00 hrs. The window didn't shut. The coffee machine was unattended and so was not able to produce a cup before my departure. No one aksed me how my stay was!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a good location to visit all area's of Shetland.
Good selection for the continental breakfast, and food was excellent for evening meals.
Some fixtures and fittings need replacing as they were looking a bit worn in the room we were in, but generally the room was clean and warm.
