Independent - accommodation in Lerwick

Ideal for Lerwick and getting about Shetland.

We loved our brief stay at the Queen’s. My husband had been taken ill on arrival in Lerwick and we had to change our plans to let him rest up. We booked last minute and were surprised to be able to still choose a twin room with sea view. The sea literally lapped outside our window and the view was stunning. The hotel has a fascinating history and is built actually into the sea so those who complained of damp should have gone some where else. The shower was great with loads of instant hot water and the bathroom and linen were beautifully clean. The staff were really helpful. The night porter rummaged around and found me a bottle opener and there was cutlery in the room for our delicious fish and chips from the Fort café, given that the hotel’s restaurant is being refurbished. We would definitely recommend the Queen’s and wish the new owners success in their quest to restore it to its former glory.

We were in Shetland for the fiddle week and this location was central. Nice host, great breakfast spread and beautiful afternoon sunshine in the windows of room 5. Bob
