Castaway Guesthouse - Kirkwall

Comfortable stay with a great breakfast

The breakfasts were good, with a range of options provided based on our preferences, including gluten-free choices. The host was very accommodating.

The room with modern facilities. There was good food, the staff was very friendly.

Overall I really enjoyed that good modern hotel. I got a nicely decorated and well-appointed room and the staff were amicable. The breakfast was gorgeous, plus the location was quiet.

The location was charming, yet difficult to find on Google maps. The breakfast was nothing to rave about, considering I had to settle for a mediocre sandwich and a banana I detest. I expected a complimentary gesture for my trouble but alas, no such luck. It's almost like they've forgotten their guests entirely.

Reasonable base for exploring Kirkwall. Plenty of good food for meals. Stylish, brand-new units provided with a good shower, storage space, for example. Really helpful staff of the hotel.

The bedroom was stylish and brand-new.

The bathroom was big and new, but tricky to find on Google Maps.

Cozy accommodations with a lovely ambience.

We faced difficulties with the parking situation, as we were instructed to move our car after check-in, especially inconvenient after a long journey. Our early ferry departure meant we could not enjoy breakfast at a normal hour, and the picnic bag provided was lackluster. The sandwich felt more suitable for a picnic rather than an overnight stay, and the banana was a poor choice since neither of us preferred it.

Loved the modern vibe, cozy beds, and the big walk-in shower. Breakfast options were great! Just a bit tight with three adults in the room.

Had a blast with friends! We visited the historical sites and enjoyed some fine nature spots. Stacey was super accommodating, even catering to my gluten-free diet. The breakfast was great, and the location was just a short walk to the center. Keep in mind to book restaurant tables in advance!

We faced issues with parking. Upon arrival, we were told to move our car, inconvenient after a long journey. It dampened our first impression a bit, but overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Stacey was super friendly and the breakfast was great, but finding the place was a bit of a mission! Lovely quiet spot, though!

Amazing hosts and breakfasts!

Free wi-fi in rooms and electric kettle were great, but the shower had poor pressure.

Stacie was really cute and helpful. The location is awesome, just a short walk to kirkwall center. The packed lunch for the ferry was perfect, loved it! The room was clean and cozy with good quality linen. Highly recommed staying here!

parking was a bit tricky, and we had a hard time finding the place at first.

This hotel was really clean, and I loved how helpful the staff were. The location was just perfect and beautiful, plus it was easy to get around using public transport. 🚍.
