We were a group of adult women staying in Kirkwall. We had one of the family rooms that worked out really well for us. Shower and amenities were good and perfect location for strolling around beautiful Kirkwall.

Sarah was an absolute life saver! She helped us find a rental car when none were available at the airport. On top of that, the place is fantastic. Great location, lovely home, hot tub is a delight.

A visit to Kirkwall Church is beautiful & full of history the place is so calming when you enter those huge church doors. This is my 2nd visit Orkney loved it.
They have quaint streets dating back to 1200's or more but with the Lidl, Tesco + Co-op supermarkets you can get all you need at these stores. We went to excellent restaurant The Ayre Hotel for fish & chips + seafood platter it was excellent + staff were excellent very friendly we are from Catering too it was great good !!

A place combining plenty of history of different periods (we went on a fantastic trike trip (https://orkneytriketours.co.uk/) - great experience, visiting the Italian Chapel, standing stones and Scara Brae. The town itself has a 12-century cathedral, historical ruins, and museums, including the wireless communications museum, which was created and is being run by enthusiasts. There are also different daily art groups at Gallery 25 (https://www.facebook.com/Number25Kirkwall/?locale=en_GB) which we enjoyed joining. And the local English is very melodic - it is a pleasure listening to it! I can't say we discovered the fantastic seafood, but there is a lovely shop, The Brig Larder (https://www.jollysoforkney.co.uk/pages/the-brig-larder, one can also order local delicacies to be delivered) - again with lovely staff and a good selection of locally sourced dairy, cheese, seafood and preserves.

Kirkwall is a beautiful little city.
Kirkwall is a beautiful little city. I came for the incredible Neolithic history and to search for family ties in the area. There are many jewelry shops as well as artists studios and tweed or wool shops. The museum is also fantastic. It’s a fibre artist’s dream.

I would not stay at this hotel again out of choice .
I would not stay at this hotel again out of choice . We visited a restaurant out of town for a meal and it was superb. I then read the reviews for this restaurant with rooms which was in a beautiful location with lovely views and they were excellent also far cheaper.
The restaurant was the Foveran and I would thoroughly recommend it.
Also visited the Italian chapel and the site of the discovery of a 3000 year old settlement both of which are a must to see.
I played golf at the Kirkwall golf club very friendly and welcoming although totally self booked with honesty box available .
This spacious, modern, nicely decorated apartment in the heart of Kirkwall has all the comforts of home. It was nice having the kitchen to cook simple meals and the washing machine was most appreciated. Close to everything, it made a nice home base to explore Orkney’s mainland. Hosts Abbey and Evan were most helpful.
Extra spacious, smartly renovated bedroom with all amenities. Large bed. Elegant onsite bar and restaurant with good 'place to be and be seen' vibes. Modern and large bathroom. Good value for money. Parking nearby. Stunning antique decor at the entrance and a personal reception experience that takes you back in time.
Staggering distance from Highland Park distillery. A warm welcome, clean and an interesting property with architecture, books and musical interest. Peaceful, and a modest walk into Kirkwall.
A great breakfast, delightfully presented.
Everything but the girl. Hey ho.
We found Castleyards Apartments 2 was a very welcome place to come into. We had the privacy that we needed after staying at Hotels for part of our journey. It was like having a home away from home. We also enjoyed to use it as a base to go sight seeing from.
Location was the primary reason I booked this hotel, as we were coming off of the ferry late at night. Our room was ready for us, and everything was beautifully seamless! The night staff were so helpful - we were even able to do some laundry there.
Everything. The living & bedroom was comfortable and clean with plenty of supplies. Located within a 10/15 minute walk in to central Kirkwall and no more than half hour drive to reach either the east or west coasts of the mainland.
Stacey is a very kind and attentive host, who made us feel welcome and at home throughout our stay. The room is comfortable and in an excellent location, situated at only a short walk away from Kirkwall town centre.
The location in was ideal in Kirkwall and our host - Nicky- was very welcoming. there was a comfortable shared parlor for guests and we had a spectacular view of the Barbour from our room
Hotel has excellent, helpful and professional staff.
The location is superb, being in the town centre and everywhere is within easy walking distance.
Room was very comfortable,
Conveniently located in the heart of Kirkwall, free car park at the back of the hotel, cosy rooms and the most comfortable giant bed, the staff were lovely
