Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hotel and staff were excellent, I would have no complaints. The location is great just what suited me happily there was very little/no suitable accomodation in Lerwick or I would not have found this place. Only negative point I could make is for me for a single room I thought it was ecpensive, although as it was absolutely comparable with accomodation in the area at that time of year..actually cheaper than most, I cannot justify reducing the score for this. Evening meal and breakfast were also both very enjoyable.

    Clean and comfortable. Early access was appreciated after a sleepless night on the ferry. A great location for touring south Mainland.

    Kitchen faciilities provided everything I needed for a few days away for work. As a lone female I felt safe in the area and in the property. Bed was comfortable, shower was super and internet was amazing. A short car ride to Lerwick and the most amazing views from the chalet. I honestly wouldn't want to stay anywhere else when visiting Shetland again!
