Eddlewood Guest House, hotel in Lerwick

Eddlewood Guest House is located in central Lerwick. Rooms are equipped with a flat-screen smart TV and each offers tea and coffee making facilities. Each room has a private bathroom.

Loved the view of the water from our room. Loved that we had a hidden opening to a second small room behind the bookcase. Loved the breakfast. Located a short walk from Commercial Street and the Harbor of Lerwick and as we were fortunate to have good weather (except for wind), enjoyed the walk.

Islesburgh House Hostel, hotel in Lerwick

Located in Lerwick, a 6-minute walk from Bain's Beach, Islesburgh House Hostel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

The manager that took care of our stay arranged a different room for us than the one we had reserved, because we are somewhat elderly and not really able to handle stairs. He prepared a room especially for us that we could access with the lift. He went above and beyond to help us! Helped us with laundry facilities etc. Great guy!

    I was in Lerwick during a stretch of unpleasant weather - cold and rainy with strong winds sometimes gusting at gale force. I would not recommend October or probably not winter. I will return, but next time in May or June! The city and surrounding towns are worth the visit. Next time I make the journey I will go to Kirkwall, too,

    This is where you need to base if you want to explore the Shetland Islands. We found a great tour guide who took us all the way to the northern end of Unst and with his 40+ year history on the island was a wealth of information. Message me if you want his contact info. We also did one of the wildlife boat tours which was great!

    We very much enjoyed seabird watching tour departing from the small boat ferry port in Lerwick, which is really recommended! We brought a car rented at Aberdeen to Orkney/Shetland by ferries and it was nicely worked. Taking your own car is recommend as the great bird watching and archaeological sites are far away from Lerwick. Unfortunately the puffin season was over when we were in the Orkney/Shetland. I would like to visit again to see puffins!

    Lerwick, well known to many people because of the TV series 'Shetland', is a charming town with many interesting features. Most importantly, the people are very friendly and welcoming to visitors, a good thing as during the summer months it is a regular stop off for cruise ships. The town centre is tucked just behind the sea front and contains interesting local shops, cafes and restaurants. Our favourite was 'The Dowry', which has great food and excellent coffee. Visit Fort Charlotte, take a walk around the Nab for breathtaking views, catch a ferry across the sound to the island of Bressay, peruse the outstanding (and free) Shetland Museum or walk out of town to explore the ancient Broch of Clickimin. Of course, there is also a tour of the locations used to film 'Shetland'.

    Lerwick is a great base for shorter excursions around the islands. We could have stayed longer for more hiking and half/full day visits. Shetland has a lot to offer. The nature is outstanding and people are very friendly. We really enjoyed our tour with Lara Thomason who guided us around south Shetland and took us the the north west cliffs of Shetland. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to hang with. Next time it will be for hiking!

    A lovely place with plenty to do. Those of you who want to relax can enjoy the amazing scenery and wildlife from many locations around Lerwick and even when having a coffee or eating dinner at some of the locations.

    I was on my own on a work trip. I felt safe, warm and comfortable. My colleagues were all in the harbour on a boat but I had to be onshore. Great WiFi for working and a lush bed for relaxing. A beautifully presented apartment with everything you’d ever need and more. I cannot fault this accommodation in anyway. I need to come back in 2024. Unfortunately it’s all booked and I’m at a loss as nothing in Lerwick compares. Gutted.

    The Maryfield Hotel is a unique experience. It is a ferry ride from Lerwick and the only commercial establishment on Bressay. James & Nelly make their guests feel at home and are quite accommodating. Nelly is an amazing cook so plan to eat dinner at the hotel. Be sure to sit in the snug and experience a dram of James' whisky collection.

    Queen's Hotel is one of the Lerwick lodberries being a building protruding out into the harbour. Room 229 is on the top floor looking out over Bressay Sound to the east. If you follow the TV series Shetland the view to the south is over Bain’s Beach to the house of Jimmy Perez just 50 metres away.

    Loved the location, very walkable around town. The hosts were very helpful- I was able to leave my luggage both before and after the trip as I was on the ferry, arriving early and leaving Lerwick later in the day. The breakfasts were great.

    Although the room was spotlessly clean, the hotel was EXTREMELY tired and most of the furniture, fixtures and fittings should have been replaced years ago.
