The Kirkwall Hotel

Its location on the harbour is marvellous.

the location was perfect and nice, close to jp orkney. it was located in a very nice area adjacent to main shopping area as well as the harbor and town. i booked a room with a comfortable bed, central heating, multi-channel tv and coffee/tea making equipment. private bathroom was good-sized.

We greatly enjoyed this place, it's beautifully decorated. Thanks to the staff for being very professional and providing us with an exceptional service. Every time we stay in Kirkwall, like to stay here.

Updated rooms with an iron and ironing board, an electronic key card, and coffee/tea makers. Location just off main shopping area, and a windswept island.

Updated, modern room with shower and tea and a bath, and brilliant location.

We loved the spacious Junior Suite with a sea view, and the breakfast was great! The cozy lounge area was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring, and we also enjoyed the well-stocked bar for some evening drinks. The only hiccup was that the shower had some awkward water pressure at times, but it didn't ruin our stay. 😊

Couples looking for a comfy stay

The room was fantastic, spacious with a view of the sea that was nice! I loved the double rain shower in the bathroom. It was pure bliss after a long day.

It was pretty pricey though.

Nice views of the harbor from the room. Unfortunately, the service in the bar was slow during the live music event.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect by the harbour n close to everything u need. My room was clean and comfy with a great view of the sea. The history of the place is really cool too!

Breakfast was kind of disappointing, not much choice and no fresh fruit.

Historic charm with a catch

The location is perfect, right by the seafront. I loved the cozy bar area, and the staff were super friendly. My only gripe? The heating was iffy in my room, a bit chilly. Definitely worth checking out for its charm, though!

Great room with comfy bedding, but street noise was a bit disruptive at night.

The Kirkwall offered a comfortable stay with a well-appointed room that was recently refurbished. Facilities like the toilet and shower were modern and functional, particularly the shower's effectiveness. The restaurant provided a fantastic selection of high-quality meals and had efficient, cheerful staff who enhanced the dining experience.

The noise from the street was disruptive at times.

Scenic harbor views, historical setting, spacious rooms

Water pressure in showers could definitely use improvement!!! The hotel is showing signs of general disrepair and needs a solid refresh to match its beautiful surroundings!!! Noise from surrounding bars is quite disruptive at night!!!

The location impressed me with fine harbor views and easy walking access to the town center. Meals were a highlight. Breakfast options were good, and dinner in the restaurant was pretty good. I enjoyed the attentive service from the staff, who were friendly and eager to help. The room felt a little cramped for the price, especially during the busy tourist season. Parking could be a hassle, as there are limited free spots on the street.

Ideal spot for business travelers

The staff were supportive I mean they went out of their way to help me with a taxi when I missed my flight and the bar staff were friendly too it felt genuine, you know. Plus the place is packed with history like those old photos on the walls it's like a glimpse into another time.

It was a bit pricey but still worth it for the experience.
