Excellent location near downtown Lerwick. Parking is very easy. We were in the Superior Suite, and the bedroom and bathroom were comfortably large and well laid-out. The double sink is a nice touch. I enjoyed the continental breakfast options provided. The accommodations exceeded my expectations!

The bed was comfortable. I loved talking a bath in a deep bathtub after a long day of exploring. Breakfast was tasty in the lovely dining room. Many options, including hot food from the kitchen, and the day was always started off right. The visitor center is just down the lane and a bus stop is a block away. Very convenient.

    Host was super helpful and flexible. Clean, tidy and quiet and a brief and spot on check-in process. Place was perfect for us to be independent and self-reliant with a car to explore the beautiful island. With almost 24 hrs of daylight it was great not to be tied to breakfast times etc. And have the freedom to manage our own time how we chose. Some thoughtful touches to the apartment too and we wanted for nothing. Great location.

    A well-run guesthouse in a charming building from the 19th century with original details intact. I had a nice and quiet room overlooking the neighbours’ gardens. The bed was very comfortable, and the room had everything I needed - like a kettle and tea/coffee, plenty of hangers, a desk and a sink. The staff was friendly and service-minded. Location was very good, and also you can park on the street. Everything was very clean, and well-organized. I will for sure return.

    Very enjoyable stay in St Olaf St Guesthouse - we were there for 3 nights, using Lerwick as a base to explore the Shetlands. Selina was the most welcoming and warm host one could imagine, and we had a spacious and comfortable room. The location is very convenient, less than 5 minutes walk to the restaurants in the city centre and with plenty of parking on the street in front of the house.
