8/10 Good

It’s probably the ugliest building we’ve ever stayed in, but better inside. Our room was rather ‘tired’ - wallpaper peeling off, large crack in the basin, but was clean. Food was really good, and excellent breakfast.
Sharon, 3-night trip

10/10 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.
Kathleen, 6-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Tom, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

No probblems and our stay was great .but property needed some repair/maintenance.
Geoffrey, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

It was comfortable, quiet, clean, convenient to the bus. The food was good but one of the waiters did not get my order correct and did not clean off my table and ask me if I wanted dessert. It was a minor incident but irritating
ellen m, 7-night trip

Excellent location for Aberdeen to Lerwick ferry. About a mile from city center. I walked a lot.
Karen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quick and easy check in and out (at unsociable hours. Friendly staff, and great food. All that I needed for a flying visit.
Charles, 2-night trip

8/10 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.
kenneth, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent room size, comfortable bed and great menu selection.

A very present overnight stay at the Shetland Hotel. Will look to stay again next time in Lerwick.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Richard, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Local knowledge from reception is worth more than a guide book. Friendly and helpful staff

Good location, friendly staff and good service

8/10 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

10/10 Excellent

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 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

8/10 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 Good

Excellent local food

Although the hotel was rather dour from the outside, it was perfectly nice, if a little old-fashioned, inside. Particularly good was the food. The sirloin steak and kippers were the best we have ever eaten in a hotel or restaurant and are locally sourced. Service was very good and the room was very pleasant - the only negative being that the bed wasn't the most comfortable. A view of the Ferry Terminal made for interesting watching and we enjoyed watching the boating activities as the hotel is right next to the sea.
Penelope, 4-night trip

8/10 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.
Robert, 3-night trip
