“I found the location quite convenient for exploring Kirkwall on foot, and the self-check-in process was surprisingly smooth. The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable, with a nice touch of including crockery and glasses, anticipating guests might opt for takeaway meals. Breakfast was certainly a highlight, served efficiently and with good quality.”
