    I stayed at this budget hotel in Kirkwall for a few nights and had a comfortable room with a great bed. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the city center. The staff were friendly and the toilet/showers were kept very clean. it was a good value stay with all the necessary facilities on site. Plus, they have friendly free-range chickens!

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    I had a mind-blowing experience staying at this hostel. The check-in process for late-night arrivals was incredibly accommodating, especially for those coming off the ferry from Aberdeen. The room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, and the bed was extremely cozy. The kitchen and lounge were spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and socialize. The hostel's location was perfect, within walking distance of central Kirkwall and close to a huge Tesco and Lidl.

    The staff at this hostel were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home, even when we arrived late at night. The kitchen facilities were great, allowing us to cook our own meals and save some money. And the best part was the location, just a short walk into town where we could explore all the local restaurants and shops.

    There were a few things that we didn't enjoy about our stay here. The hostel had limited hours, which meant that we couldn't access our room during the day.

    As a youth, I had a great time staying at this hostel in Orkney. the staff were friendly and helpful, and there were plenty of things to do on the island. the lounge was a nice place to relax, and I enjoyed having tea and coffee readily available. the bed in my private room was comfy and had ample storage space. the self-service kitchen was well-stocked, and there was a Tesco nearby for any additional supplies needed. it was good value for money and a great place to unwind after a day of exploring. Cons: N/A.
