Pros:

Ottima posizione, personale gentilissimo e accogliente. Buona la colazione, prevale ovviamente quella salata ma c'è comunque molta scelta.
Abbiamo anche cenato e il ristorante è ottimo, un po' caro ma di qualità e curato

Cons:

La pulizia è decisamente insufficiente. Molta puzza di polvere. Le sovracoperte, i cuscini ornamentali e le tende credo non siano mai stati lavati ma nemmeno sbattuti. Sul vassoio della teiera c'erano un paio di capelli, moltissimi cassetti e un armadio ma non abbiamo potuto usarli perché puzzavano.
Non c'erano nemmeno un gancio per appendere le giacche o gli asciugamani in bagno.
In 3 notti che ci siamo fermati non sono mai passati a pulire la camera, il bagno solo perché glielo abbiamo chiesto...
Peccato, basterebbe solo un minimo sforzo igienico per migliorare

Pros:

Great restaurant food.
Friendly staff
Hot shower
Right opposite ferry docks

Cons:

Lots of narrow windy stairs to upper level rooms but staff helped with luggage on arrival. Rooms are basic and you can hear people in rooms above you and the inn below.

Einfaches Hotel mit allem, was man für einen Kurzaufenthalt braucht. Nicht günstig.
Pros:

Direkt am Hafen, nett eingerichtet mit allem, was man für einen Kurzaufenthalt braucht. Sauber.

Cons:

Wie die meisten Hotels auf den Orkney Inseln (gilt auch für die Isle of Skye) überteuert.

Great base for exploring the Orkney Islands
Pros:

Staff were fantastic - helpful, friendly and professional. The accommodation has been recently refurbished and was comfortable and clean. The bar and restaurant were exactly what you'd expect - good selection of drinks at the bar, friendly atmosphere and good food. This was a great base for exploring the Islands.

Cons:

Nothing

Other than the sleeping accommodation it was a good stay. But very expensive for a very average room.
Pros:

The bar staff were friendly, professional and very engaging. From the restaurant to the bar they were all excellent

Cons:

The bedroom was basic. Very poor value for money. The shower didn’t work properly

Pros:

breakfast choice was excellent, the room was a little small but more than adequate for my needs. Had dinner on two evenings, again the food was very good. I can strongly recomend this hotel, I plan to visit Orkney again and when I do I will be checking out this hotel first for availability.

Cons:

nothing
