Ayre Hotel & Ayre Apartments ★★★

"Good hotel. At the centre of Kirkwall. Great food at its restauran"

The Kirkwall Hotel ★★★

"Such a lovely hotel overlooking the bay and harbour, close to the airport and an easy walk into the town with all its pretty individual shops, cafes and galleries. Very helpful staff, efficient and friendly. Excellent breakfasts and restaurant menu and service was great and good value. Our twin room had lovely views across the bay and harbour. Some fascinating historical pictures and old ledgers in the main stairwell."

Albert Hotel ★★★

Karrawa Guest House ★★★

"It was a very cozy guesthouse. Anyway, it's close to the local bus stop, but it's hard because there are only a few buses."

The Shore ★★★

Grainbank Mews ★★★

"Exceptional accommodation in Kirkwall. We stayed on two separate occasions and both rooms exceeded our expectations. Everything was spotless and a lot of thought has gone into what travellers require at an accommodation. Continental brekkie was also excellent, especially the porridge :). We highly recommend this accommodation when in Kirkwall."

West End Guest House ★★★

"Having come off the boat after a weeks sailing I needed a B&B to lay my head before flying out the following day. From the moment of booking this B&B has been so helpful. I requested if I could leave my bag early while I explored for the day, they allowed me to drop it off & even popped in my room when it was ready. The en suite room was clean, tidy & more than catered for my needs. Breakfast was a combination of help yourself & a cooked breakfast ordered the night before. I thoroughly recommend this place it’s a max 5 min walk to bus station & into town. Special mention to Andrew who was really helpful when it came to finding out the airport bus timings, holding my bag & dropping it in my room & generally helpful. Will definately stay again if passing through in the future."

Royal Oak Guesthouse ★★★

"What a great establishment. Lovely accommodation - great food at breakfast - extremely hospitable and friendly staff. This B&B has very comfortable beds and rooms, and wonderful views. It is in a great location and a few minutes drive, or walk into the town of Kirkwall. It is also close to all of the amazing sights of Orkney. We could not recommend this guesthouse more highly. Alice and Eric are great hosts."

The Orkney Hotel ★★★

"The twin room we were assigned (401) when we arrived was located on the street level of a building across the street. It is a spacious room with comfortable beds, nice shower and adequate heating, although we turned it off when we retired. The staff is friendly and helpful when asking about restaurants or sights. Breakfast was served on the second floor in the main building starting at 0730 which worked well with our tour schedule. The view from the breakfast area was of gardens behind the hotel."
