Such a shame that a hotel in great Location is getting bad reviews however although outside renovation being don inside very dates. Has so much potential. Room had rusted towel rail and toilet roll holder no shower wash in shower. Also no bar area or lounge or dining facilities yet still being advertised on Expedia as a hotel. I wouldn't even rate it as b and b as no food available . I do hope the owners manage to get upgrade done as going back 12 years our stay was excellent

We needed to wait for a staff member to register us. We were given 2 adjoining rooms when we requested a triple accommodation. The hotel is right on the coast. No lift, restaurant, or bar were available.

The place is so dirty and under renovations, didn’t feel safe at all. When I wanted to cancel my booking I was told i will not get a refund, that’s daylight robbery. The property was advertised and there was no mention of it being under renovation.

It's an old hotel that could be very nice and probably was at one time. Carpeting and wallpaper very worn. Bathroom was large and clean which was nice but faucet handles fell off when used, toilet paper roll kept falling off, etc. TV didn't work and we were told someone would come check it out which never happened. Restaurant was closed so had to walk into the town every morning for breakfast and coffee. Supposedly new owners who plan on fixing it up - would be interested if that happens.

Terrible room and good luck trying to check-in.
I don’t usually leave negative reviews even if I have a bad experience but this hotel is really terrible, if it was a cheap rate you could understand, but we were knocking on almost £300 a night. Arrived there at 2.00pm, the time that check-in opens. No one there, reception has a phone and a note to call for assistance. There was 3 numbers, first two didn’t work. Third I got through to someone who said they would just ‘pop down’. 15 mins nobody arrived, tried calling the numbers again, nobody answers. Tried again and again and nobody responds. Ended up waiting almost an hour in their reception which has no wifi, no phone signal (so no 4G or mobile calls can be made), so sat waiting doing nothing. A guy arrives through the front door and gives us a key, no apologies, no small talk, just room number and here’s your key, just make sure you know there will be no breakfast. Room was terrible, wallpaper peeling off everywhere, heater massively dented, shower head held together by tape, windows rotting and permanently open, the tiny tv didn’t work, everything metal in the bathroom rusted. To be fair, the mattress was relatively comfortable but a very dated room that needs a lot of work but has been neglected for a long time. This isn’t just one room, this is the second time I have stayed there and the room (and reception experience) was just the same. The problem is that there is a lack of hotel rooms in Shetland and so you end up having no choice if you leave it late to book.
