Stayed at the Scalloway Hotel for work as all Lerwick hotels were full. It was a delightful surprise. A warm and welcoming hotel and truly excellent dinner and breakfast. I had one of the renovated rooms (hence the 5 rating) - it was beautifully done and I particularly appreciated the local furniture from Paparwark. There were other really nice touches... More

I stayed here with a colleague. She booked it on the recommendation of tripadvisor reviews, so I wanted to return the favour! We had a double room each. Mine was small but very clean, with white bed linen on a wonderfully comfortable bed. No bath but a reasonable shower. A kettle & biscuits was on hand too. The highlight of... More

allowing for the remoteness of the location (Shetland Isles) the hotel was probably as good as was available, clean and tidy, food was of a high standard, beds comfortable but in a small room with small en-suite facilities, not somewhere you would want to spend any time in, therefore marked down.

We really wish we could make some of our rooms bigger but we can't. Originally we had very ambitious plans for a complete redesign of the lay-out, but once our eyes had stopped watering at the price tag, we had to set our sights on a less ambitious revamp. This won't make the rooms any bigger, but the space is... More

We have been cycling up the Orkneys and Shetlands for eight days and really loved our stay in The Scalloway hotel. We arrived from Sumburgh in time for a delicious bowl of soup for lunch and then went to the Scalloway Museum which has a very informative display on The Shetland Bus. A short walk along the harbour takes you... More

We stayed here for the (wonderful) Shetland Folk Festival, and it proved to be well worth the couple of miles out of Lerwick to stay here. The Scalloway is a small, family-run hotel, with a warm, welcoming and very genuine staff throughout. My room was absolutely gorgeous - with Shetland behind every detail - from the original art to the... More

I only stayed at the Scalloway because for assorted reasons I couldn’t stay at my usual Shetland abode of the Queens Hotel in Lerwick but having looked on Trip Advisor it papered to be an excellent alternative, well I suppose it’s what you want from a hotel that qualifies that. Anyhow firstly the good points it’s clean, comfortable and the... More

Thank you for your very detailed critique. Glad you appreciated the breakfast spread, and that the room was to your liking. It's unfortunate that you felt ignored by our staff: we generally make an effort to engage with guests. With regard to the dinners, we were recently presented with an AA rosette, and previous inspections by visitscotland have recognised the... More

The hotel is on the waterfront, so great views over the harbour. The room was compact but nicely decorated and comfortable. Bathroom lovely, large shower and tasteful decir. The evening meal and breakfast were excellent, very much enjoyed local shellfish and fish. Would definitley recommend this friendly hotel.

Had a brilliant overnight stay at the Scalloway Hotel - wonderful fresh seafood which was cooked to perfection - Caroline and Peter are great hosts and all the staff were very friendly and attentive - my room was lovely, attractively decorated and furnished with thoughtfully sourced local fabrics and paintings. The ensuite facilities had been recently upgraded and were modern... More

Scalloway Hotel is in central Scalloway. The town is small but the food and the staff at the hotel are especially recommended. Friendly, helpful and lovelyrooms. Make sure you try the blue shell muscles- yummy.
