Great location but sadly poor condition hotel

6.0

Brilliant location, pleasant helpful staff, views of the harbour.

In a poor state of repair, aged and soiled carpets, defective shower only delivered cold water, broken glass in skylights (dangerous!), peeling wallpaper and blown damp plaster.

A dip into a great past

8.0

A house dating back to the Victorian epoch, with stuck, high ceilings, heavy curtains, carpets, luxurious ambiance. Perfect location in the heart of Lerwick, capital of the Shetlands, 2 min. from the harbour, 10 min. from the Mareel culture house and the Shetland museum. The hotel is somehow run down (compared to an imaginary original state), yet this discrepancy between the visible past and the present boosts the ambiance. A very small crew, yet very helpful. For any problem we got a solution. Great view from the rooms over the roofs of Lerwick over to Bressay isle.

Many facitilites like lounge, luggage depot, night club are closed for years. As a guest you move between your bedroom and the large and beautiful dining hall. No lift for the house is listed as a historical monument. The hot water supplies need a remake. Friday and Saturday nights are quite noisy until 1 or 2 a.m. because of the bar right opposite the hotel. So better go there and have a dring and share the talk.

It seems to be run on a shoestring budget. The room size varies hugely and I ended up with a dud room. And my friend

It’s a central location and the breakfasts were good

It’s a very old property- and quite expensive for how basic it is

Mitt i staden, nära till allt. Vänlig personal. Hemtrevlig känsla.

Ett ganska slitet hotel, läckande kranar och slitna ytor. Har man rörelsehinder är det inte möjligt att ta sig fram. Utifrån priset var det lite orimligt slitet.
