Ferry Inn
8.5 (44 reviews)

Ferry Inn ★★★

📍 10 John St, Stromness

"Three of us stayed here for one night in November, and the service was amazing even before we arrived. We were contacted just after booking to confirm arrangements and made aware that the restaurant was closed for evening meals, but breakfast (that was included, and delicious) was still available in the morning. We had a follow-up call to check everything was OK for arrival due to recent weather disruptions and ferry cancellations, and we also requested an iron for our rooms - we were also offered early check-in which was a great bonus. Both rooms were nicely decorated, comfortable and roomy. We would highly recommend staying here, and if we ever need a night in Stromness again, we would book here first."

The Royal Hotel Stromness
8.4 (47 reviews)

The Royal Hotel Stromness ★★★

📍 55-57 Victoria St, Stromness

"Went for a drink on a Sunday afternoon, the barmaid with long grey hair ignored me at the bar for 5 minutes, walked past twice to chat to her pals, so we left. The pub dog was friendly, but not exactly a warm welcome. Shame as everyone else in Stromness seemed very nice."

The Stromness Hotel by Paymán Club
4.8 (40 reviews)

The Stromness Hotel by Paymán Club ★★

📍 The Pierhead, 15 Victoria St, Stromness

"Very expensive, for very poor standard, managed remotely by Payman Club, local staff have no say in price - or even know the price. We complained to our credit card company under section 75 of the Consumer Credit act and got £219 back."

Stromness Apartments
8.6 (14 reviews)

Stromness Apartments ★★★

📍 Milldam, Stromness

"My wife, sister and I stayed here for three nights in Orkney. We stayed in the Meadow View Apartment. It was a positive gem. Two bedrooms both with en-suites and an additional upstairs bathroom. Heaters galore and a well appointed kitchen. The apartment is situated in the countryside just outside Stromness and is quiet. It is a short drive to the neolithic attractions. The owner, Alexander bends over backwards to ensure you are comfortable. I would highly recommend this property. "

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast ★★★

📍 Lindisfarne, Stromness

"I stayed at the b&b while I was stranded on the island due to bad weather I had 2 nights there , the service was second to none , The breakfast was beautiful and Deborah couldn't do enough for you . Had a later ferry and they didn't have an issue with me and another guest staying in our rooms until we were ready to head for the ferry . My room was spotless and very comfortable with a very nice bathroom . They had a guest sitting room which is nicely set out . Would definitely recommend to anyone . Thanks guys for the great hospitality. Mark "

Ferry Inn ★★★
"We stayed here 3 nights and it was a very pleasant experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was tiny but cozy. The beds were comfortable and there was lots of hot water in the shower. The breakfast was very filling with fruit, yogurt, cereal and croissants on a buffet as well as a menu with cooked to order hot food. This inn is right across from the ferry terminal, so very convenient. The only negative aspect is that there is no elevator and the stairs are very steep and narrow. This was a problem for a few people in our group. However, all in all, I would definitely recommend this inn."

Stromness Apartments ★★★
"We stayed in this charming flat during our visit to Orkney and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Situated on the outskirts of Stromness, it’s about a pleasant 20-minute walk into the heart of town. The property, part of a larger house, comes with the convenience of a private parking space right at the door. Inside, the flat was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay. The fully stocked American-style kitchen had everything we needed, from cutlery and cooking utensils to oil, tea, and instant coffee. The bathroom was well appointed, and the bedroom was nice and cosy. Reliable Wi-Fi covered the entire property."

"Hostess & host were both very friendly & responsive. Everything was clean & comfortable. Guest had a shared tv room with several comfortable sofas. Breakfast was very good and generous. Ensuite had a very good shower and host cleaned every day and made beds. Great view above Stromness, across pasture with cows. Thank you!!"
