During my 3 night stay there wasn’t once a cleaner or maid in the room so the bed wasn’t made, no fresh sheets were put on, the bins weren’t emptied, there was no fresh towels for the room. Also the tea and coffee wasn’t replenished for duration of my stay. Very poor

Lovely trip to Shetland to meet family… hotel rooms very dated but clean, minor issues quickly resolved by Barry the manager. Lovely restaurant & bar although back ground music needed…. Staff are a credit to hotel especially the lovely Evan. Note to owner: spend some money & upgrade the rooms…

The walls and roof are paper thin, with guy upstairs stomping about every night and also waking me up at 5.45am every day on the phone. Then the cleaners slamming doors every 60sec during the day so no rest then either, and that is not an exaggeration! EVERY 60 SECONDS. Breakfast was either extremely overcooked or undercooked. Restaurant staff are not trained well and nervous, hovering over you as you eat or on there phones. All the staff are 'from other parts of the world' that sort of explains the state of the place. Imagine a Scottish hotel in Bangkok and your halfway there. I will be staying in an apartment next time I visit for work, never subjecting myself to that nightmare again.

Food was ok, pork medallions not medallions and overdone, tough in places. Chefs veg watery and a heap of red cabbage which was already on the plate. Dining room has great views but all public areas looking tired and dated, hasn't had a face lift in over 20 years so sadly overdue. If your looking for great food it's a no If you just want a unexceptional meal it's ok.

Lovely hotel about 10min walk from the centre of Lerwick, plenty parking. Hotel was slightly dated in parts, seems like it's in the midst of being updated, the dining room was lovely, and the bathroom in our room looked like it had recently been renovated - great shower. Room itself was large and had everything we needed but was a little old fashioned. Staff were super helpful and the food was excellent (we stayed on a DBB basis). Overall a great stay.

Dirty, damp and not fit for purpose. The walls in the corridors and room were wet with penetrating damp. Peeling wallpapers, shoddy ripped furnishings, ancient beds, flaking paint. Dirty carpets and restaurant stained seats and dirty blinds. I think this place would make you ill if you stayed for any length of time. Oh, I could go on but do yourself a favour and don’t go. Awful and embarrassing for any tourists visiting Shetland- what a dreadful impression!

Went there for a family meal. Both me and my partner had the duck. Presentation was spot on, no taste, duck was so hard I couldn't even cut it properly ended up giving it to my partner who also stated it was very tough. Had the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream again cutting through a pudding was hard, and the most tiny bit of ice cream you could imagine. Never go there again 174 pounds for family of 4 adults 3 children

Not sure about some of these reviews, the hotel is reasonably priced as hotels go these days. I’ve just had a fabulous meal in the restaurant, reception, bar and restaurant staff have been pleasant and attentive and actually smiling unlike my stay in the Scalloway hotel the previous night. Room 209 is absolutely fine and meets my needs (these comments about “dated” rooms crack me up, people want pristine brand new for every stay now 🙄) The view from my room is lovely, the location is great and I’ll definitely be back again next time I visit Shetland.
