“This Kirkwall accommodation, while perhaps unassuming from the outside, consistently impressed with its well-appointed and clean rooms, featuring remarkably comfortable beds that make for a restful stay. Its waterfront position is a definite draw, offering superb proximity to ferry terminals and local amenities, with the added benefit of well-regarded breakfast and bar services just steps away at the Kirkwall Hotel next door. I found the value here to be quite reasonable, especially considering the prime location and the quiet, modern feel of the rooms themselves.”
