Staff were excellent. Location great overlooking sea but by hospital so buses to everywhere (including airport) easy walk to town/ferry port if buses not your thing. Good food in restaurant had an early start which the staff helped with. Enormous smart tv and coffee machine

Great character and charm. My room and bathroom had fabulous views. The property is built into the water. In heart of town. Great place being renovated but look past that.

The room was nice and light. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was continental style. Peter, the host, was friendly but a little disorganised.

The property is well positioned close to the centre of Lerwick with ample street parking. It was fully equipped, meticulously clean, the beds were comfortable and offered good value for money. Run as a family business they certainly take pride in their investment and without being intrusive ensure all you needs are met. Excellent accommodation.

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!

A lovely place with plenty to do.
A lovely place with plenty to do. Those of you who want to relax can enjoy the amazing scenery and wildlife from many locations around Lerwick and even when having a coffee or eating dinner at some of the locations.
I was on my own on a work trip.
I felt safe, warm and comfortable.
My colleagues were all in the harbour on a boat but I had to be onshore. Great WiFi for working and a lush bed for relaxing.
A beautifully presented apartment with everything you’d ever need and more.
I cannot fault this accommodation in anyway.
I need to come back in 2024. Unfortunately it’s all booked and I’m at a loss as nothing in Lerwick compares.
Gutted.
This hostel was excellent, great value for money, very clean, all required facilities. Above all the manager was so friendly and helpful - what a difference that makes to a stay. Would highly recommend to families looking for reasonably priced, spacious and clean accomodation in Lerwick. We have a three year old and she loved it, excellent park and swimming pool nearby.
If you know you know!
This is gem in the Shetlands.
Do ‘t let the plain outwardly appearance of this hotel fool you.
Inside it’s delightful, with clean, modern rooms , comfortable beds and excellent cooking. with the hosts extremely friendly and welcoming.
The best seafood and Lobster around !
There is also an extensive whisky bar!
It was a very pleasant hotel. The room was as I expected it to be, comfortable and well stocked with things that I needed. I was only there for two nights so my expectations were not high. It did everything I needed it to. Oh and the cooked breakfast was excellent.
Good communication from the owner, and an easy check in (collecting keys from a lock box). Well-equipped kitchen, comfy lounge, and spacious bedrooms. Good Wifi, and a great location for walking into Lerwick in just a few minutes.
The apartment was warm, clean and well equipped. It was also pretty central in Lerwick so we walked to most places we wanted to go to. There was supplies left in the kitchen which was nice too. We would rent again if available.
Location of guest house was perfect. You could walk everywhere in Lerwick wry no problem.
Did not like the buffet diy style breakfast basket. If we’d known this at time of booking we would not have chosen this guest house.
Apartment was very clean, well appointed and in an excellent location in Lerwick. The apartment is finished to a very high standard with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Would definitely stay here again.
Everything! The owners and staff were warm and friendly, our room was large, comfortable and well-appointed. Breakfasts and dinners were delicious. Our four night stay was the highlight of our two week visit to Scotland.
Have stayed at the hostel several times now, and always enjoy staying there. Very good facilities, friendly staff, and a great location. Only 5 minutes walk into the centre of Lerwick.
Location was excellent, plenty of free parking spaces. Very good hotel for the rate charged. Right on the Highstreet. Will definitely be booking again, when the call arises.
Although the room was spotlessly clean, the hotel was EXTREMELY tired and most of the furniture, fixtures and fittings should have been replaced years ago.
Apartment clean, well furnished, good modern kitchen and bathroom. Bed firm and comfortable. Good heating. Excellent location in the middle of Lerwick.
