8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
My stay was great. The place was clean but a bit small. You can wash your laundry there for a small price and even use the dryer. The bathroom was clean. The showers were new but a bit narrow.

Arrived in the middle of the night. Luckily we were able to get in and rouse the night staff, who appeared immediately. Very comfortable room
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2025
Several of the staff were very helpful, like Ross and Joseph. I initially had a dorm room, but there wasn't enough space for me to layout equipment I needed each day. Was very happy to switch to a private room. Great set up for kitchen use.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
We arrived late from the Shetland Ferry. Instructions to get in were clear. We had a private room but no towels, they were complimentary but had to be provided for by staff and upon arrival there was no staff… so we could not shower in the evening. All was clean and working well. Room was clean and effective - but could be made more friendly by just putting up some pictures or Orkney fotos.. that would really make a difference. Staff was very accomodating and nice, breakfast room was pleasant. We had an okay stay but all in all found it quite high priced for the basic facilities we got.
