Worst customer service I ever experienced when the storm hit and all trains and ferries were cancelled for 2-3 days in December 27&28- Angela refused to waive cancellations fees.
We were stranded on the way to the Ferry Inn and I immediately let them know that no trains or ferries were operable.
Angela Charged me $340 for two nights that I couldn’t get there due to the storm cancellations.
I had to buy an additional 2 nights of hotel where I was stranded. Very inconsiderate and I will not stay there in the future. Angela could have at least reduced the amount since it was an act of God storm that stopped all trains and ferries.
I understand she wants $$ but I paid double for those two nights with not so much as an I’m sorry from the Ferry Inn and Angela herself.
Not very kind behavior.
Everyone working at this hotel has been so kind and helpful. We had some weather-related delays and they helped us figure out what to do. We’ve been very cozy here.
The room was nice and appeared clean (although there were a previous guest's headphones in the drawer). Unfortunately the bar and restaurant were closed during our stay in mid-September. Same across town apparently as we were told 'there's nowhere open to eat in Stromness' and reception weren't able to suggest anywhere out of town (we were told to look at a tourist website to see what's open in Kirkwall). Parking is not actually free unless you want to park 300m down the street.
A true gem of a place. Absolutely recommended for anyone looking stay in Stromness!
Charming older building with all the quirks and foibles that give so much character, but nicely modernized. Very clean and well kept. The staff was wonderfully helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant are top notch and the perfect place to wind down after a day of exploration.
I will absolutely book here again whenever I return to Orkney.
Karen was fantastic, as Hotels.com had failed to book the room properly. We were offered a fantastic room which was clean and comfortable, and well located for the ferry, Stromness and the main island of Orkney. Excellent food
