Ideal hib for our stay.
Spacious room, and an ideal hub for our holiday. Slightly off the main routes, but convenient for harbour, information centre, bus station, etc The main restaurant was fully booked on our first evening, but the bar area could accomodate us and had the same menu. Friendly staff and a good choice of food, so we went back there throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

The location can’t be beat! Our window was right above the entrance to the pub and did get a bit noisy. The bathroom was good and the bed was okay.

Underwhelming
This hotel is clean and comfortable. There are no reception staff so its not welcoming. Its under staffed and staff need more training on how to welcome people especially at breakfast. The staff they do have are very nice. Over priced

Wonderful stay!
Great visit to Kirkwall! The Albert hotel was fantastic! It is an older property decorated very nicely! Our room was upgraded to a larger room because there were 2of us! The meal we had in the restaurant was the best we had in our visit to the Orkney’s. The staff was so accommodating and helpful. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone headed to the Orkney Islands

Not impressed
Noisy location with a lot of noise outside at the weekend and youths shouting at each other when the bars in the surrounding area close. Very poor quality breakfast, the bacon and sausage were over cooked - perhaps even deep fried. The room was okay but tired and not worth what we were charged in mid January (off season).

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good location close to main street with shops and restaurants, except for no parking. Property was a disappointment. Bed uncomfortable. Very small room and bathroom. Dreary and dated furnishings; not updated. No common area on the property to sit and relax. Pub on property nothing special and was closed some of the time. Breakfast was a very poor buffet- packaged pastries that would probably be likely to be found in a gas station mini market. Not a pleasant setting either. Hotel was overpriced for what it was.

Well established Hotel
Hotel was typical of most hotels and pubs/restaurants in the area . Everything seemed old but worked fine. Comfortable bed and a decent shower. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room and good selection of biscuits. Never ate there but the bar was good and the the barmaid was friendly unlike the reception who I think was having a very busy day when we arrived. Short walk into town.
