The Royal Hotel, hotel in Stromness

Located in Stromness and with Standing Stones of Stenness reachable within 8.5 km, The Royal Hotel provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

The Ryal Hotel is in a good location, not very far from the ferry terminal and an easy walk from the long term parking. The staff are quite friendly. The breakfast chef is good for a chat with some very interesting stories about Stromness and the islands themselves. The wait and bar staff are also good value. One evening with only the Chinese take out available we were allowed to eat in the restaurant and were provided with plates and cutlery. When we had finished, our table was cleared. The implements and containers were removed without any fuss or trouble.

    Stromness is a great base for exploring Orkney.

    Stromness is a great base for exploring Orkney. The town is charming, with winding narrow streets of small independent shops. Eating out can be a challenge but the deli, bakery and small supermarket provide options for picnics. There is plenty of public parking at the harbourside.

    Stromness is the perfect place to stay for visiting the many historical and archaeological sites in West Mainland. There are magnificent cliff walks on the west coast, and plenty of bird-watching opportunities.

    The views and attractions were outstanding.

    The views and attractions were outstanding. We were not prepared for the fact that cruise ships arrived at the island causing large crowds at the attractions. Also though many places the staff were helpful and friendly sometimes we felt service could improve in regards to how we were treated as visitors to the island. As far as the island itself it was an astounding place to visit with beautiful scenery and fascinating history.

    Walking slowly through historical Stromness—see the blue plaques on the buildings -was fascinating. Don’t miss the Stromness Museum, a treasure trove of historical artifacts and the nicest man staffing the front desk, answering any questions you may have. I loved the site of Login’s Well, where ships of old, including Captain Cook’s ships, came to draw fresh water for their voyages. You are literally walking in their footsteps here.

    Stromness is a lovely town with a lot of quirky streets and alleyways. We loved the town but there are very few places to eat and it is a struggle to find somewhere. Luckily our Hosts at our B&B 45 John Street did the most amazing evening meals if you wished to eat in.

    The ladies at reception were very pleasant n helpful. We had a pleasant time. I'd go back there and would recommend to others that I know who would appreciate this type of hotel. However, there are some who just want all very modern accommodation and this is a mixture.
