The Lerwick Hotel, hotel in Lerwick

Modern & well equipped hotel 10 minutes walk from the town center, nestling on the shore of Breiwick Bay. This attractive hotel is well equipped for the modern traveler and close to local amenities.

The Letwick is situated right on the bay, with stunning views of the bay's coastline. We even had the joy of watching a sea otter hunt from right in front of our room! The TV was one of the largest we've had in any of our many stays in the UK. The staff at reception were phenomenal, and worked very hard to improve our experience.

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!

    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.

    The rooms we booked were very clean and comfortable. There was an excellent choice for breakfast ranging from a continental to the full works. The staff were very helpful throughout our stay advising on things to see and how to get there. During our stay we had a couple of evening Thai meals, the food was delicious. The hotel is only about a 10-15 minute walk from the centre, however if you are coming by ferry, I'd suggest you organise a taxi from the terminal as its a good 40 minute walk.

    The Grand is indeed grand, a wonderful building with an incredible interior. Very nice to be there. The hotel has a ‘grand’ location, being in the centre of Lerwick, convenient for the bus station and nearby restaurants. The hotel owner was incredibly helpful with questions I had. Very pleasant room. I have never been to the Shetland Islands but I felt the Grand Hotel was an excellent way to be introduced.

    Chef Micky not only made me feel very welcome, he also made the BEST breakfast! All kinds of choices and I had eggs and bacon. I loved looking out the window to the bay. I also loved the coffee!! Parking very convenient. Restaurants, shopping, the wharf, docks all right there. Historical buildings abound and The Grand Hotel is among the very best.

    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 near downtown Lerwick. Parking is very easy. We were in the Superior Suite, and the bedroom and bathroom were comfortably large and well laid-out. The double sink is a nice touch. I enjoyed the continental breakfast options provided. The accommodations exceeded my expectations!

    Breakfast was exceptional. When they clean your room they give you it in an hamper so you have it for the next day. There was enough to snack on through the day too. Microwave, toaster, kettle and coffee machine all in room. Ideal location right in the heart of lerwick

    Great view from room over the harbour. New managers recently taken over and are renovating the hotel so lots of areas freshly painted etc. Still in need of a little TLC but a great place to stay in the heart of Lerwick.
