8/10 Very good

The hotel was a bit tired but the staff made up for it - the food service was excellent

20 minute walk to downtown Lerwick. Staff were so very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was very good, breakfast outstanding. Shout out to Valerie in the dining room.

Nothing Fancy, but a Great Location

A Shetland local told us there are no great hotels on the island, and it's basically a small town so our hopes were not too hight. The outside of the hotel is rather dismal. In this case the book is better than the cover. Our room was spacious but not fancy. We enjoyed the view - looking right at the ferry building. It was fun watching the ferry leave each night. And we arrived by ferry, so the location was a huge plus. The breakfast buffet (free) was good. Both hot and cold options. Hot food is cooked to order. There wasn't any room service during our 4-night stay but the lobby had extra supplies laid out so we could grab toilet paper, coffee, towels, etc. at any time of day.
William, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

We found the Shelton to be great for travelling by ferry. It’s a short walk to the city center. The included breakfast was a nice benefit with a continental or hot option. We would have liked a longer breakfast hours. We did find it a bit cheeky that the restaurant/bar manager wanted to charge us £3.50 for a glass of ice to take back to our room.

No probblems and our stay was great .but property needed some repair/maintenance.

Francis, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient.

Staff were all very friendly , but the hotel is rather dated & in need of a re vamp. The dining room is unwelcoming & is like being in a ferry . Line upon line of ghastly Formica topped tables . Very unappealing. Very expensive for quality of the hotel .
Sheila, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

All that is needed.

Quick and easy check-in and out. Room was large and clean. TV was difficult to control but all that you need was in the room. Breakfast was served which was nice and not a buffet style. Bed was not comfortable and mattress needs to be replaced. Restaurant was fair and not too expensive as the town is a little walk from the hotel.

Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was an excellent base for exploring the islands. Location next to the ferry terminal is not the prettiest but always something to look at and in easy distance of the town centre. Room was large and comfortable. Food was excellent and staff were invariably friendly and helpful.

Good location, friendly staff and good service

8/10 Very good

The property is a bit tired in condition. However the staff are friendly and helpful and keep the hotel spotlessly clean. Joseph in particular at breakfast stands out but all staff we encountered were great. We would stay here again
Alan, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were lovely and very helpful, the manager couldn't do enough for you. The room was a bit dated but very clean. The breakfast was very nice too.
Diane, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Receptionist went above and beyond when I developed a cold and generally feeling unwell. She was very approachable and kind. Couldn't find fault with any of the staff members.
Geraldine, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent and efficient front desk staff who were wonderful in providing suggestions of places to visit. Dining room service was a bit hit and miss at times - though food was generally good. Very, very convenient when arriving by ferry as the hotel is located just across from where the ferry docks.
Douglas, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Food fine, room clean and good size, staff friendly and helpful, location next to port and a few minutes from Lerwick town centre. The only downside was the building was a bit tired. Would use again.
