Disappointing
Only stayed two nights and...

Pros: Central location.
Cons: Room was quite small as was the bed. Room was too hot overnight and the window could only open a small amount. Pillows very uncomfortable. Building works ongoing and scaffolding up at various places. Some floor coverings missing due to the building work. I saw no mention of this when I was booking. Grossly overpriced at £150 per night for room only.

Pros: Food good, a bit slow and hostess is there from AM until evening closing so can be a bit surly, impatient...Barstaff is excellent
Cons: Construction made noisy, dusty hall from frontdesk to restaurant...maybe just a temporary cheap indoor/outdoor carpet would clean up the appearance I swear one of the waitresses was FOURTEEN!!! I asked..and she was a bit of an airhead and needs furthur training

Disappointing
It was a bit dismal.

Pros: We thought it had been refurbished and it would have a room with a view. In reality, it was a bit dingy and there was no view. Refurbishment was ongoing.
Cons: The ongoing building work. The view onto building detritus was not the view we expected.

Good accommodation, with renovations nealy...

Pros: The amenities were modern and clean. Darren was welcoming both in reception and later in the restaurant. The food was well prepared and presented.
Cons: Construction was ongoing outside and inside the hotel, though not directly adjacent to the rooms. That should end soon. It appeared that the hotel is shortstaffed, and that puts a strain on the existing staff. This seems common in Kirkwall, as booking dinner times is an absolute necessity to avoid waiting hours for an opening. I suspect this is an early season issue that corrects itself when students become available for summer work. The hotel needs more staff, pure and simple.
