Hotels With parking in Shetland Islands, United Kingdom

We stayed in room 11 upstairs in June 2024. The room was very small, with a low ceiling under the dormer. The double bed was small with a tiny duvet that barely covered the bed. They had maybe run out of clean sheets as instead of a bottom fitted sheet on the mattress they had used a valance sheet which didn't stay on. The mattress was hard foam, not sprung, which I found hard to sleep on. The bedside lights had odd lightbulbs, one was too adark and one ws too bright. There was one large window in the room with good views but it quickly steamed up as there was a lack of ventilation in the room. The window opened fully into the room with no way to lock it at a certain position to stop it blowing open or stop the rain coming in. The bathroom had a bath with a shower hose attached to the taps which worked surprising well, although it leaked a bit. There was no fan in the bathroom so again no ventilation. The bathroom was also dark. Breakfast was very good. Dinner at the asian restaurant on site was excellent. The staff were very friendly.

Although the staff were friendly this was a rather 'tired' 'commercial' hotel that didn't live up to its website. After we had booked in and were settling in our room, a member of staff burst in without knocking, saying ”sorry, we thought the room was empty because it was quiet!” Bizarre. The room did have a sea view, but was built partly under the staircase so a little noisy when people tramped up to the next floor. It was also small, and the 'double' bed very narrow, perhaps four foot wide? En-suite also narrow with toilet that was difficult to flush properly. Evening meal was a bit grim, we thought the steak pie would be a safe bet, but was just meat piled on puff pastry, with under-done vegetables. Somebody's idea of a 'trendy' meal? Unbalanced and far too dry, could only eat half of it. Chef's day off? Continental breakfast was fine. (Which was just as well as the cooked breakfast was rather expensive!) Local street parking was plentiful and free - a benefit that takes some getting used to!

Hotel location is very good to find the airport bus, go forward and cross the road. I live on the top floor and have a little attic. Don't be too comfortable. The view is good. I can also see the vehicles coming and going on the main road. Although it is still less than 10° outside at the end of May, the landlord gave me an electric heater, which was very warm. The bathroom also has a skylight that can be opened for ventilation. The room facilities are average, there are no toiletries, tea and coffee can be picked up in the restaurant downstairs. Breakfast is not really suitable for our Chinese stomach, pure self-service, I ate two slices of bread, a banana and a pack of cereal. It takes five minutes to walk from the hotel to the town center, but the only Tesco supermarket here is more laborious, 20 minutes, the wind is raining.

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.

Very satisfied, I will definitely come later. The staff's attitude is very warm and easy-going. Although this time is short, I am very satisfied.

A great hotel with a good location and a great restaurant. I recommend it to everyone. In my opinion it is the best choice on the island.
