Best Hotels in Lerwick
Explore Lerwick with 15 hotels near iconic landmarks, popular shopping streets, and top dining spots.
Varis House ★★
"The hotel is in a great location. Just walk across the street after getting off the airport bus. I stayed on the top floor, a bit like a loft. It wasn't particularly comfortable, but the view was great, including the main road traffic. Although it was still under 10°C outside in late May, the landlord gave me an electric heater, which was very cozy. The bathroom also had a skylight, which you could open for some fresh air. The room amenities were average, with few toiletries. Tea and coffee were available at the restaurant downstairs. The breakfast wasn't particularly suited to Chinese palates; it was a buffet. I only had two slices of bread, a banana, and a bag of cereal. The hotel is a five-minute walk from the town center, but the only Tesco supermarket there is a bit more challenging, taking 20 minutes in the wind and rain."
Fort Charlotte Guest House ★★★
"I stayed at Fort Charlotte Guest House for the Shetland Wool Week with a friend and it turned out the perfect location: Very friendly and welcoming hosts, excellent breakfast with different options, very clean cosy room and right in the centre of town - restaurants, ferry, bus stop, shops within very short walking distance! I would choose Fort Charlotte Guesthouse again any time."
Queens Hotel ★★★
"I had a short stay in the queens in lerwick. I honestly couldn't get better customer service. To name drop. Sam. Absolute star, all that I could ask for, recommendations on local pubs, food and locations. Couldn't have more positive compliments for this man. Top notch. So friendly and welcoming, as soon as I arrived he was passing the hallway and suddenly stopped and welcomed me in."
The Shetland Hotel ★★★
"Location environment service is very good, nothing to say! The interior style is relatively old, but the sanitary condition is very good and the stay is very comfortable. The hotel's breakfast is very rich and delicious, and dinner is very convenient. Outside the window is the sea and the island opposite. The other side of the hotel is a hiking area. It is also very convenient to visit museums and shopping."
Glen Orchy House ★★
"Stayed in April with friends for 5 nights. This establishment looked old and full of owners personal belongings and decorations. Tatty fake flowers, handbags in main guest waiting room. Personal pictures in Dining room Breakfast foods not refridgerated. Coffee recycled into the perculator by wait staff. Thin ratty towel in bedroom 1 only. Bed tiny single no top sheet. Pillows old and thin. No pressure in shower if anyone else turns on water. Looked like dish soap in the soap dispensor. Stains on the Tiny bed base . Light over sink broken and taped up. Curtains delaminated. This establishment smelled of rank food and cooking oil. Do not book."
The Lerwick Hotel ★★★
"Went there for a family meal. Both me and my partner had the duck. Presentation was spot on, no taste, duck was so hard I couldn't even cut it properly ended up giving it to my partner who also stated it was very tough. Had the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream again cutting through a pudding was hard, and the most tiny bit of ice cream you could imagine. Never go there again 174 pounds for family of 4 adults 3 children "
