    Totally recommend for a two-day stay

    Comfortable room, welcoming staff, the free wi-fi was very reliable. I really appreciated the electric kettle in my room for a warm drink after a long day of exploration.

    Couldn’t fault.

    inconvenient access

    excellent location, great soundproofing, stunning views

    The staircase is quite steep, causing a bit of a struggle when hauling luggage!!! The lack of an elevator is inconvenient for those with mobility issues!!!

    fabulous breakfast
    steep staircase

    Had an amazing stay! The room was spacious, had a lovely sun terrace, and the breakfast spread was fabulous! The owners were super chill and made sure we had everything we wanted!

    The staircase is kinda steep, so just be ready to haul your stuff up a bit.

    Exceptional hospitality and perfect location

    The experience was unforgettable. Located just off Commercial Street, I could easily explore Lerwick on foot. My single room was spotless and surprisingly spacious, which was a pleasant surprise for a solo stay. What truly stood out was the owners and staff. they were incredibly accommodating, even allowing me to use the dining room on my departure day when my ferry was delayed. I couldn't have asked for a better stay.
