Orcades Hostel - Kirkwall

We recently stayed at this place at the end of our campervan trip and it was exactly what we needed. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and felt homely. Our two-year-old loved playing with the jigsaws in the communal room. The owners have thought of everything to ensure the guests' comfort, including facilities for after check-out. The owners themselves were lovely people, a credit to the hospitality business and to this venue. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone.

We highly recommend this place! We stayed here with our kids and the beds were extremely comfortable. The room was well-equipped with a flat-screen TV and tea making facilities. The location is perfect, with supermarkets just a two-minute walk away. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and the service was exceptional. We also appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the communal lounge with a variety of entertainment options. this venue exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay here again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this place and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The room and en-suite bathroom were incredibly spacious, clean, and felt more like a luxurious hotel room than a typical hostel. The in-room fridge was a convenient addition, perfect for storing snacks and drinks. The location of this venue was also ideal, with supermarkets just a short five-minute walk away and the ferry pier to the islands only a 10 to 15-minute stroll. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service, always ready to help with any questions or issues. I will definitely be staying here again when I am back in town.

I highly recommend this place to all my friends.

Nothing for me.

Great value for the price, especially for a hostel. The staff were always available and helpful, providing useful advice during my stay. The hostel was also very clean and well-maintained, with a big kitchen and supermarkets nearby for self-catering options. The free tea and coffee were a nice touch, making me feel right at home.

The location was a bit of a walk from the main attractions in town, about 20 minutes. The lack of ventilation in the rooms was noticeable, which could be a problem on windy days.

The hotel's location was really convenient, with many shops and the city centre within a short walk. Parking was free on-site, and the staff were cute and always ready to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a fridge, kettle, and tv.

Nothing to be said.

The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked some lovely meals there. The location was perfect, only a short walk to the local attractions and shops. The bed was comfortable and we had a view of the garden from our room.

The walls were thin and we could hear our neighbors clearly. Unfortunately, on our romantic escape, there was a rowdy group of guests staying and they were up late, shouting and making a lot of noise.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Convenient location near ferry terminal. Easy check-in process with key left at door. Spacious and clean rooms with kitchen facilities for self-catering.
