The Stromness Hotel is set in Stromness. This hotel offers free WiFi. Ring of Brogdar is 3.7 mi away and Standing Stones of Stenness is 3.7 mi from the hotel.

Spacious room, free parking, and friendly staff. I noticed the rating for the hotel is poor; but it is better than I expected. It is just an old hotel.

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Stromness

Featuring views of Scapa Flow, Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast is a detached house in a rural location near Stromness. Free WiFi and free private parking is available on site.

Choosing Lindisfarne B&B, Stormness was the correct decision made for the trip made to Orkney. Hosts (Deborah, her husband) were warm, friendly and very welcoming. Even though the arrival at the premises was late, they were up to receive us and guide us to the room. Room and insuite bathroom were meticulously clean, bed were comfy and ac maintained the temperature of the room well. Deborah took care of preparing the delicious and hot breakfast which was a treat ! Looking forward to staying at Lindisfarne B&B for next Orkney trip and definitely recommend to others as well.

Merkister Hotel, hotel in Stromness

Located on the shore of Harray Loch and family-run for over 30 years, the Merkister Hotel is a 15-minute drive from the main towns of Kirkwall and Stromness.

Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Stromness

Located on the Orkney Island, 14 miles from Kirkwall, Smithfield Hotel offers 3-star accommodations with free parking, a bar, and a restaurant. Kirkwall airport is 30 minutes’ drive away.

We had a tire that was leaking air. They had a friend who has a car repair business on their personal property - that person identified a small leak on the tire sidewall, so the tire would need to be replaced. The Smithfield then called around and found a shop that had our tire size and they make an appointment for us to get the tire replaced. This was amazing because the local tire shops were slammed with business and somehow, they got us an appointment quickly. The staff at this hotel went above and beyond to help us with our tire problem and we are extremely grateful for that! Breakfast and dinner were very good!

    Stromness is a great base for exploring Orkney.

    Stromness is a great base for exploring Orkney. The town is charming, with winding narrow streets of small independent shops. Eating out can be a challenge but the deli, bakery and small supermarket provide options for picnics. There is plenty of public parking at the harbourside.

    Stromness is the perfect place to stay for visiting the many historical and archaeological sites in West Mainland. There are magnificent cliff walks on the west coast, and plenty of bird-watching opportunities.

    The views and attractions were outstanding.

    The views and attractions were outstanding. We were not prepared for the fact that cruise ships arrived at the island causing large crowds at the attractions. Also though many places the staff were helpful and friendly sometimes we felt service could improve in regards to how we were treated as visitors to the island. As far as the island itself it was an astounding place to visit with beautiful scenery and fascinating history.

    Walking slowly through historical Stromness—see the blue plaques on the buildings -was fascinating. Don’t miss the Stromness Museum, a treasure trove of historical artifacts and the nicest man staffing the front desk, answering any questions you may have. I loved the site of Login’s Well, where ships of old, including Captain Cook’s ships, came to draw fresh water for their voyages. You are literally walking in their footsteps here.

    Stromness is a lovely town with a lot of quirky streets and alleyways. We loved the town but there are very few places to eat and it is a struggle to find somewhere. Luckily our Hosts at our B&B 45 John Street did the most amazing evening meals if you wished to eat in.

    The ladies at reception were very pleasant n helpful. We had a pleasant time. I'd go back there and would recommend to others that I know who would appreciate this type of hotel. However, there are some who just want all very modern accommodation and this is a mixture.
