Lerwick Hotel

“Outstanding”

Booked a table for our anniversary, even though we don’t stay in the hotel. And all I can say is what an amazing meal, staff amazing and the hotel has such an amazing relaxed feel to it. Would highly recommend the hotel for meal

“Very pleasant stay, a bit short on ambience”

This is one of the larger hotels in Shetland. Nice location, easy access by road from the airport. Reasonable walking distance to the center of town, and lots of access to walks on the shoreline. A large Tesco within easy walking distance. Nicely situated on a gorgeous rocky shoreline, but the lovely scenery is wasted as the building architecture is uninspired, with fairly small windows (may not be an issue in bad weather, as the windows are fogged by seaspray.). Be sure to ask for a room facing the water as the other side of the hotel faces a bland parking lot. Oddly, the property has not improved its view of the bay with a deck or benches - no place to sit and enjoy outdoors - again, maybe weather just won't allow. Even a better path to the shoreline trail would make things feel a little richer. We wondered if the building had been built as a dorm or business residence and later converted to a hotel. Rooms are smallish and in an older style with dark wood that makes the rooms feel a little smaller. Everything was very clean and well maintained, but the decor is a bit dated. Beds were on the small size. We lucked out and stayed in a larger room at the very end of the building wing - it had a larger window and a little more room. The bathroom had been remodelled and was very fresh and modern - so no complaints, other than needing to air the room a little when the wind died down. Staff were very pleasant and responsive. Meals were excellent - good breakfast (included, but not advertised as such) and really great dinner in the dining room. Overall I would rate this as a "good" but not "great" hotel. A lot of opportunity to enhance the property with. little imagination and some further redecorating. Would not be reluctant to stay here again... but might look for a guest house with a little more ambience.

“Meal was soured”

Took my Girlfriend for a meal recently, and was allocated an 8.30pm slot despite the place being fairly deserted when we arrived early at 8.10pm on the off chance they’d take us early which they did.

Took my Girlfriend for a meal recently, and was allocated an 8.30pm slot despite the place being fairly deserted when we arrived early at 8.10pm on the off chance they’d take us early which they did. Upon ordering drinks & our food as we were just finishing our starter (about 8.50pm) my mobile starts ringing, who’s phoning me in the middle of my date you ask? Yes it’s the Lerwick Hotel, asking why I haven’t turned up for my 8.30 booking, and this is me sitting in their dining room! The incompetence is staggering and ruined the whole vibe of our date. Needless to say a half hearted apology and some waffle about a table booked for someone else didn’t cut mustard, and we never even got as much as a complimentary drink for the embarrassment as I told the server that I was just that. The food was ok, nothing tremendous I might add, but would I go back, not sure I would. Also to end things off the lad taking our payment couldn’t work out the half of £64.50, I rest my case…generally very disappointing experience.
