Kirkwall Youth Hostel ★★

"As other Reviewers have stated, it is a hostel. It is clean and tidy and bare bones. I stayed here with a group of 15 people for a week as we used the Hostel as our base while we traveled by car and ferry to hike around the Orkney Islands. We shared basic rooms and there are communal showers/toilets that are separated for women/men. Sheets and towels are provided. There is a communal kitchen where we cooked every night and cubbies & fridge to store food. A pub is a quick 15 min walk away for drinks and the town is probably 20-25 mins walk. There is a large communal area to eat and a large lounge to read, be on your phone or otherwise relax. Overall great staff and had no issues the days we were there. We were up early every morning and back around 5 pm each night. The glorious week of sun and a little rain kept us outside exploring the beautiful Islands"

Albert Hotel ★★★

The Kirkwall Hotel ★★★

"La habitación era muy bonita. Sólo pasó mucho tiempo observando pasar por. Comida las 2 noches (de los 8 que nos quedamos estaba en el lugar). Conocí a tantas personas hermosas aquí todas las mañanas al desayuno. El personal es como familia. Nos encanta este lugar tan mucho que ya hemos reservado para el año próximo con la misma vista. Por lo tanto, lamentablemente tuvimos que volver a la vida real. Vete el año próximo."

Ayre Hotel & Ayre Apartments ★★★

"La ubicación es muy buena, la estación de autobús que regresa al aeropuerto, varios restaurantes no están lejos, hay paisajes marítimos. Las instalaciones son viejas, pero todavía aceptables, y el calor no tiene problemas. Acaba de entrar en la casa con humedad y sería mucho mejor abrir las ventanas. En cualquier caso, es una pequeña ciudad insulare, y eso es lo que se ha pasado."

West End Guest House ★★★

"Be careful when booking here based upon the reviews. This establishment has downgraded its offering from a full service hotel to a guest house offering B&B only. The guest house is largely unstaffed. Check in is a key box on the wall, check out is a letter box to drop off your keys in. There's no dining room offering evening meals, and no bar. My room was simple but adequate. There are tea and coffee facilities, and you can help yourself to top ups from a central store. Breakfast comprises a limited hot menu, which is cooked to order, alongside a coffee machine, juices, cereals and toast. Service from the front of house breakfast team was good. Location wise, it's a 10 minute easy stroll down the main shopping street to the harbour. Price wise, £95 per night is high for what's on offer. Is it comparable with other similar establishments in Kirkwall? I don't know. But whilst the West End is fine, I've paid less for better places many times. "

The Shore ★★★

Royal Oak Guesthouse ★★★

"We stayed with Eric and Alice for just over a week, and it truly felt like home. Their hospitality and warmth were exceptional—second to none. Even before we arrived, they were incredibly kind and accommodating, and that kindness only grew throughout our stay. I would choose staying here over any hotel without hesitation, and I would gladly return if I ever visit again. I can’t recommend Eric and Alice highly enough. Thank you both so much!"

Grainbank Mews ★★★

"Amazing host with lovely clean rooms, temperature consistent throughout which was excellent. The beds were very comfortable! Breakfast was always top top with easy service and ordering the night before. Utensils provided if you bring a ready meal or takeaway back to eat, eat in the breakfast area at all times which is better i feel as it gives your hotel a more homely feel. Quiet atmosphere which is good for your stay. Amazing location a stone throw away from the centre but nice and quiet. Excellent value for money in my opinion’"

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."
