Varis House ★★

📍 26 Church Rd, Lerwick

"Very nice hotel, all very clean, good room,. we would book it again"

The Lerwick Hotel
7.7 (56 reviews)

The Lerwick Hotel ★★★

📍 15 South Rd, Lerwick

"During my 3 night stay there wasn’t once a cleaner or maid in the room so the bed wasn’t made, no fresh sheets were put on, the bins weren’t emptied, there was no fresh towels for the room. Also the tea and coffee wasn’t replenished for duration of my stay. Very poor"

Glen Orchy House
7.2 (548 reviews)

Glen Orchy House ★★

📍 20 Knab Rd, Lerwick

"A one night stay. A lovely clean hotel, with lovely views from the top rooms. Slightly old fashioned, which is not unusual for Lerwick. Our double room was enough for one night and very clean. It’s up quite a steep hill so be prepared if you are walking! Breakfast was a little disappointing, hence the drop in stars. Cold selection was ok, but the cereal containers looked they had been used for some time. Cooked breakfast has a great selection but the quality of the ingredients let it down. Rather tasteless and unappealing. It’s an ok hotel if nothing else is available."

Queens Hotel
6.0 (48 reviews)

Queens Hotel ★★★

📍 24 Commercial St, Lerwick

"Nice enough hotel had a ample room overlooking a small bay. Hotel was very quiet not many other guests due to time off year, sone restoration works ongoing at time. Quaint way off checking in, you had to phone for receptionist to come by and check you in, but it works."

The Shetland Hotel
7.6 (50 reviews)

The Shetland Hotel ★★★

📍 Holmsgarth Rd, ZE1, Lerwick

"Location environment service is very good, nothing to say! The interior style is relatively old, but the sanitary condition is very good and the stay is very comfortable. The hotel's breakfast is very rich and delicious, and dinner is very convenient. Outside the window is the sea and the island opposite. The other side of the hotel is a hiking area. It is also very convenient to visit museums and shopping."

Eddlewood Guest House
9.3 (208 reviews)

Eddlewood Guest House ★★★

📍 8 Clairmont Pl, Lerwick

"We stayed here for 6 nights and had a very decent sized room on the top floor which gave us terrific views. The guesthouse is perfectly placed in Lerwick, easy walk to everywhere in town and close to the main road both North and South. The bathroom was large with a bath over the shower and room could be serviced every day if you required it. There was also a washing machine and dryer for guest use. A full Scottish breakfast was available every day if you desired it but there was also yoghurt fruit cereal etc. There is no designated parking, just what is available on the street. We never had an issue accessing parking. The owner is relatively new to the business I think and he is a very nice, friendly chap. Rooms could do with a little bit of updating and dusting but overall a very happy and comfortable week for us."

Fort Charlotte Guest House
9.9 (66 reviews)

Fort Charlotte Guest House ★★★

📍 1 Charlotte Street, Lerwick

"Great property run by lovely people. Exceptionally located. Rooms are comfortable, clean and have everything you need. Breakfast options are outstanding and the friendly hosts are always willing to help you out and offer advice. Perfect accommodation in a wonderful destination."

The Lerwick Hotel ★★★
"Went there for a family meal. Both me and my partner had the duck. Presentation was spot on, no taste, duck was so hard I couldn't even cut it properly ended up giving it to my partner who also stated it was very tough. Had the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream again cutting through a pudding was hard, and the most tiny bit of ice cream you could imagine. Never go there again 174 pounds for family of 4 adults 3 children "

"Nice 2 star rooms, small bed, no expelair in bathroom, great breakfast and ideal location but heating system is poor and our room was 26+ degrees overnight even with window open. Quite expensive. No bar facilities. Would not recommend. Staff are lovely but heat is a big issue"

Queens Hotel ★★★
"I truly like this hotel. Granted, it needs some cosmetic updates, but the bones of my room were very satisfactory. The room was clean and comfortable, the bed the right degree of firmness, the heater was very efficient, and there was excellent hot water for both bath and shower. The wifi was also excellent. The staff were friendly and on premises. My room overlooked Banes Beach and I got to see and har people bathing every day (!). The location was extremely convenient to shops, cafes, take aways, chippies, and the small grocery in the center of Lerwick. The community center and museums were within convenient walking distance. If I return to Lerwick, I will stay here again."
