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!

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.

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.
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.
Stunning views, fantastic location, spotlessly clean room. Exceptionally comfortable bed with top quality linen. Great bath sheets and loads of hot water for the bath.
Hotel is obviously in the process of being refurbished and it's going to be a jewel in Lerwick's crown when the refurbishment is completed.
Great value for money!
The location was great. Slightly out of Lerwick and convenient. The hosts were attentive and gracious. The place was clean. They had everything you could possibly need for a self catering cottage. The Wi-Fi was fast and easy. They had good blackout curtains. This matters in the summer! I would stay there again definitely!
Wifi speed is excellent; upstairs heat works well; free nearby parking is convenient, right up the hill; great location in downtown Lerwick; refrigerator size is quite large; lighting in the apartment is very good; tv had many UK channels
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.
Nicely renovated with a very comfortable room with lovely views. Interesting to watch the cruise ships coming and going. There is a restaurant at the hotel serving a good choice of food. Easy to get across to Lerwick on the ferry.
Location of guest house was perfect. You could walk everywhere in Lerwick wry no problem.
Did not like the buffet diy style breakfast basket. If we’d known this at time of booking we would not have chosen this guest house.
Excellent comfortable, well-appointed apartment in great location. Walking distance from harbour, museums, ferry, town centre, music pub. Well equipped and very convenient- a great base for Lerwick and Shetland sights.
Everything was perfect, a beautiful, super-equipped house, in an excellent position near Lerwick town center, and very helpful hosts, we strongly recommend this accommodation for your Shetland holidays!
The location was fantatic: really near the harbour and the commercial street. My room was very spacious and the staff showed me every facility that the hotel had, even if I stayed only for one night.
We had a lovely time on Shetland. The apartment was very comfortable, well decorated and clean. It was easy to find and close to Lerwick centre. The bed was large and comfortable.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Location was about a 15 minute walk to downtown Lerwick. Breakfast was hot and nutritious. Restaurant service was fast and friendly.
The Manager and his staff were very accommodating, this is an oldy worldy hotel and with the effort put in by Harvey the Manager im sure he will make this a great success.
Amazing location, adorable hotel, really friendly staff, great food and close enough to the town while still feeling like not a tourist spot. Really fantastic
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.
