Orcades Hostel is located right by the Pickaquoy Centre in Kirkwall. It's a few minutes' walk to the large supermarkets and to the main leisure walking path in town. About a ~15 min walk to get to the main bus station and town centre. The hostel has a lovely garden area which we used for cooking on our camping stove. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and have done a great job of arranging the hostel in a Covid-safe manner. We had our own room which was a great value for money compared to the hotels in Kirkwall.

This B&B is operated more like a small hotel. They have a lobby with a counter just like at a hotel. The room was located upstairs and had slant ceilings - meaning it was 8 feet ceilings for the majority of the room and then slanted over one part of the room. No decorations to speak of - just a purely functional room. The room had a large closet with sturdy wooden hangars and a vanity table with a mirror. Breakfast is ordered the night before with a choice of a large number of items - including hot, cooked items.

The St. Ola Hotel is very basic, no frills. Plain decor, good shower, rooms were up a couple of short flights of stairs. The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot and had good pressure in our room, my sisters room had low pressure. Tea pot, coffee and cookies were provided. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night and it was very good.

I loved how professional and understanding the staff were giving this horrific times we are all going through at the present time with covid19, I didn’t quite get to stay there but when uncle Boris ungrounds us all I shall be making a booking as soon as I can.

The location was outstanding within walking distance of several restaurants and shops plus St Magnus and the Bishop’s House and Earl’s Palace. The house was very clean and the upstairs lounge was comfortable and accommodated 5 people really nice!

Central, contemporary, well equipped, comfortable and spotless. Communication with Hazel was effective and so very helpful. She made our stay stress free. Kirkwall was easily navigated from the apt. Everything was within easy walking distance.

The location was perfect, a two minute walk from the town centre with all essential shops close by. Kirkwall has lots of small independent, quality shops & eateries, there’s no shortage of banks too.

This location is great it is right around the corner from restaurants and a Co-op grocery store. It is so convenient. We loved that it was so big. We really enjoyed having space to move around.
