This place suits me perfectly! I enjoy the free wi-fi in rooms, the tv, and the helpful staff. They once assisted with finding my lost earring, which was nice. Highly recommend for a comfortable stay. I'm coming back for a weekend!

Family with children will find it amusing
Staff were excellent and friendly they really made us feel welcomed! We had a beautiful view of the harbour from our room which was breathtaking, every morning was a treat.
It wasn't exactly a bargain but still acceptable.

The antique charm of the shared spaces stands out, complemented by a spacious and well-updated room that exceeded expectations. Breakfast offered a good variety, but communication issues with some staff were notable. The lack of wheelchair accessibility was disappointing, especially given the hotel’s historical setting, and a persistent issue with a stuck window took too long to resolve.

Staying at The Stromness gave me a great location right next to the ferry terminal, which was super convenient. The dining area overlooks the harbor, and breakfast had a decent variety—definitely enjoyed that. my room felt outdated with old carpets and furniture that needed a refresh. The bathroom had separate hot and cold taps, which isn’t typical for modern hotels. I also struggled with only one functional power outlet, and my TV tended to freeze. The staff were friendly, but the overall ambiance felt a bit neglected. Could really use some freshening up to elevate the experience.

Perfectly located by the harbor! Enjoyed stunning views from my room and the lovely local atmosphere. Just wish the lift was a bit bigger for lugging my bags. 😊

Had an awesome time with friends! We visited the ancient Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae, which was fascinating. Breakfast was good, and the service was friendly. The views are stunning! It's a great base for exploring.
One downside was the lift. it's too small for more than one person with luggage, which made getting around a bit tricky.

missingWrote a review on 22 Julinconsistent cleaning
Access to the hotel can feel a bit jarring with entry through a rear parking lot filled with overgrown trash bins. The lift situation is subpar. it's cramped and doesn't accommodate more than one person with luggage, making it a hassle to navigate from the upper floors. The dining hours are confusing—despite the restaurant being advertised, I encountered it closed with no clear indication of when it operates. the room cleaning was inconsistent, with my space only tidied up a couple of times during my lengthy stay, causing a slight discomfort.

The location was ideal for exploring the nearby ancient sites like the Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae, making it a perfect base for our adventures. The breakfast offered local ingredients and was quite delicious, which started our days off right. the lift was a bit too cramped for more than one person with luggage, which made getting around a bit tricky. it was a good experience, and I'd recommend it to fellow travelers looking for convenience and charm while visiting the area.

Staying in a triple room, the stunning view of the harbour added a charm to our experience. The excellent staff made us feel welcome, and the fresh fish and chips were a highlight at dinner. the parking was somewhat challenging to locate due to its position up a hill, and dinner options were limited when there were no tour groups present. It felt like the hotel could benefit from more staff to enhance the overall service experience.
