    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.

    nothing it’s a complete dump - arrived reception boarded up no staff - eventually another disgruntled guest gave me a mobile. number to get a member of staff over - eventually arrived - my room had been taken - showed me another and went to get towels and a room key and never returned - terrible and unbelievable price - this is not a hotel and should not be advertised as such it’s a rip off diss house for contract workers - who all hate the place - it’s a bad joke - shameful - I’m expecting a full refund but good luck with that

    Nellie and James were superb hosts. An added bonus was that Nellie was an exceptional cook conjuring up an amazing seafood platter which my husband and friends devoured. Has to be ordered in advance but if you love seafood well worth the wait. The only slightly disadvantage of this lovely hotel being on Bressay was that it has to be accessed via a rather expensive ferry from Lerwick. Ferry times vary, but average out to be every 45 mins but I have to say this really wasn’t a problem for us.

    We were unable to book our usual b and b n Lerwick. Subsequently booked your hotel, but concerned at reading poor reviews on trip advisor. However we found your hotel exceeded our expectations. Our room was great, super view from our window over the bay. Room was very clean, evening meal and breakfast great. Staff were very pleasant and polite. We were able to walk into Lerwick, overall enjoyed our stay and certainly found no faults.

    My partner and I stayed here for a couple nights while exploring Lerwick and it was absolutely perfect. It's a short walk to Commercial Street, so it's quiet and comfortable, but also convenient. The price per night was so low compared to the US, that we were not sure what to expect and were blown away by the value. Would 100% stay here again in Shetland. The hamper breakfasts and nice hosts complete the experience.

    The hotel was neither far from the center of the town (about ten minutes walking distance) nor from the countryside (in less than five minute's drive could be out and away of town). Breakfast was abundant and more like a Scottish breakfast than a continental one. Could keep going till dinner time without a real need for a lunch break.

    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!

    Excellent location directly opposite the ferry terminal. Friendly staff were helpful. The rooms were a good size and the breakfast was good. We didn't eat there in the evening. There is a co-op store 5mins walk from the hotel and it takes 20mins to walk into the town center. There is ample free parking at the hotel.

    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.

    Staff was very lovely, location excellent. Price was good. Large room. View was very cool - old cemetary. Overall, despite the fact that the hotel needs a little renovation and buy some newer things, this is pretty much what I have expected based on the price, reviews and pictures.
