A lot of good, but struggled with some availability eg a chef to cook food in the evening and some things at breakfast. Staff generally tried very hard to please.

The bed was too short. the duvet was too thin (cold) and too short. The wifi didn't work. There were no blinds to screen out morning light at 04.00 hrs. The window didn't shut. The coffee machine was unattended and so was not able to produce a cup before my departure. No one aksed me how my stay was!

I was disappointed with my return visit to this hotel. My room was clean and comfortable but the noise of the extractor fans in adjacent rooms were noisy and woke me early this morning. Breakfast was slow and made me run late for work that I was travelling for. Lovely location and friendly staff.

Friendly, clean hotel. Lovely location, continental breakfast was included but various cooked options were also available. We ate in the bar one evening and drinks in the bar both evenings we stayed, both very reasonably priced & enjoyable. Mix of locals and hotel guests, good atmosphere. Would recommend and would return.

Pleasant comfortable stay, good food

We stayed for a few days while exploring Shetland. Our room was comfortable and warm, with a modern (if snug) en-suite bathroom. The dining room had a good and interesting menu; dinner portions were enormous. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. There was, at times, a little music from the bar audible in the bedroom.

Comfortable stay

Booked a single room which was quite small but it was exactly as per the photo. The bathroom was quite spacious and very well lit. Extremely clean as was the bathroom. Noise insulation wasn’t great as the room is above the kitchen but I’m used to very quiet living. The dinner menu was varied and the dishes very well presented. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A shame the breakfast pastries were individually wrapped in plastic and the jams and spreads which I understand to limit food waste; maybe that’s different in high season.

Appalling

Unfortunately this has been an exceptionally poor experience. The staff were incredibly incompetent and very untidy. Thee evening meals were of a very low quality and prepared unprofessionally. Breakfast was inedible, staff serving in the restaurant didn’t present themselves in a tidy hygienic manner. The bedroom resembled a backpackers hostel. I’m utterly disgusted by the staff, the service and the food.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a good location to visit all area's of Shetland. Good selection for the continental breakfast, and food was excellent for evening meals. Some fixtures and fittings need replacing as they were looking a bit worn in the room we were in, but generally the room was clean and warm.

Very clean and comfortable if noisy twin room, travelled with family and stayed a week. Aye in restaurant, food really nice, bar not so welcoming, not many other places to eat. Great views from the room that made us want to go across the bridge to Burra and Hamnavoe, not disappointed, beautiful part of Shetland. Scalloway is a great location for going anywhere so near to the main roads.
