The Orkney Hotel

Breakfast was great. Large room with tub. Great location. Car park. Drinks in lounge. Mildew smell. Room had not been vacuumed.

Very centrally located Not many staff available.

Great location, comfortable bed, very clean Bearing in mind it is a very old listed building there are no elevators if you have a heavy suitcase and plumbing isn’t that great. They also have limited staff but they do their best.

Perfect location in the middle of town with easy access to dining, shops, buses, and tourist attractions. There is an excellent bar right on the property and a pretty garden view from the breakfast room. Hotel was clean, quiet and had nice views from the bedroom window. No elevator, uncomfortable bed and no safe in the room. Breakfast was made to order, but very limited menu. At more than $200/night; I expected better amenities.

MATCHED MY NEEDS AND BREAKFAST INCLUDED. WIFI INCLUDED, WHICH WAS A MUST.

Our visit to the Orkneys on our adventure through Scotland wasn't planned, but with a last minute booking we were lucky enough to be able to spend a couple nights at the wonderful Orkney Hotel! This historic inn far exceeded our expectations. We particularly loved spending the evenings in the bar tasting some of the literal thousands of bottles of whiskey decorating the walls. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the Scottish breakfast was delicious. I would highly recommend a stay at the Orkney Hotel on your next visit!

Clean. Good water pressure. Comfortable beds. Great location Struck 3pm check in, awful restaurant, mediocre breakfast.

Nice location, whisky choice. P Smelly room. Not clean in general. Bar was dark and smelly.

The staff was helpful and friendly. From check in to breakfast we were given suggestions of places to visit and all service with a smile. N/A

Liked the location No toilet brush in toilet. Had to ask for one

It is an older property very clean. There was a shortage of staff so service could have been better. Not open for lunch

The position in Kirklees of the hotel Too old hotel. The room is small, the bathroom is small, whiteout shower but with an adapted shower. 2 sinks with cold and hot water like in 50 years of the other century. WC does not work well. Advertise for a big breakfast: it was just a simple English breakfast with not a lot of choice. No cappuccino, no espresso, an orribile caffè. At the end: NOT APPROVED!

Exceptional

Location, parking, staff and breakfast First room 101A -you open the door and are greeted by a long winding narrow corridor that ends in a room slightly bigger than the bed. No room for cases or to sit down (staff stated “this is one of the new room”). We asked to be moved and they obliged. Room 207, we were told was a more traditional room layout but was “an old room, yet to be refurbished“. You pay the same for either old or new which is ridiculous. The room was larger and suited us but that was the only good part. Toilet took 10 minutes to refill and would not fully flush, shower pressure was so low that you can’t get your head under enough to get it wet. TV could not get enough signal on any channel and may as well be removed. Bed was so soft and old you spent the night both rolled together in the middle and we are not big people. The hotel is very old but that does not give reason to be selling rooms like this. There was no one working reception when we left, just a key box and no phone in the room. Frankly we could not wait to leave anyway. Worst stay anywhere we have booked worldwide, at exorbitant prices.

Good

The staff were friendly and helpful. The decor was reminiscent of the early 19th century and very charming. We had booked a larger room, which had a 4 poster bed and spa tub. Breakfast was good as was the dinner. The bed was very comfortable.

Nothing Cold and unclean

Very good

Very good

Very friendly and helpful lady who worked at reception in the evening and the following morning in the breakfast room. Good location Parking, although a bit cumbersome to access It was generally good. It’s an old building in an area very exposed to the weather so not surprisingly this showed somewhat.
