The hub for the busy folk festival. Food is consistently good, with a good choice and price range. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Well situated in the centre of Stromness with ample car parking at rear. Beds are comfortable, and the staff cope well, even with the extra pressure of a huge influx with the festival each year.

The hotel looks out onto Stromness Harbour which is a hive of activity with crab fishers and scuba diving boats. The interior of the hotel is a bit dated but rooms are large and well looked after. Food is good quality and very plentiful - fish in particular is to be recommended.

Up at Stromness for a Family Bereavement. We stayed in the annexe which had 3 bedrooms and a kitchen. It was a gathering of the Family clan and although the weather was dreadful it was more than compensated by the great welcome we received from the owners of the Royal Hotel. They could not do enough for us and we... More

We travelled to Stromness on The Orkney isles, the Stromness Hotel is situated on the Pier Head which is handy if you are using the ferry as we did. A traditional holday hotel with large rooms (we were lucky enough to get one with a view over the harbour) bed was comfortable and breakfast was a delight.

I stayed at this hotel with a group of fellow walkers in 2012. Most of us were elderly and we were certainly not a noisy group. On three evenings at dinner we were told by staff to be quiet because the management of the hotel had booked another activity at the other end of the dining room or across the... More

If you ever stay at this hotel, make sure that there is not any noisy party going on far into the night. I did not and paid the price of no sleep! Otherwise the hotel was passable but fairly old and run-down and without any particular attractions.

Room 12 is above the kitchen & when the kitchen fans are on it is very noisey. Hotel decor bit dated but clean. Staff very friendly and helpfull but time it took to serve a meal (over 2 hours)! Quality of meal nothing special.

Spacious, clean but older rooms in an older hotel with a great bar and restaurant with excellent meals. We stayed here as a family of 13 for two nights recently and ate in the restaurant both nights. Our meals were so good the first night that many of ordered the same meal the next night. The staff were lovely.

Right in the centre of town, good parking and a great restaurant. Given that the town was nearly closed at least the hotel was warm and staff very friendly. The storm was cold and it was uninviting outside. Although not the most luxurious it was quite good value for money.
