The best hotels Orkney & Shetland

The word Kveldsro (pronounced Kel-dro) is Old Norse for "evening peace". This hotel of the Brudolff Hotels Group offers top-class services and a view of the harbour. The rooms are luxuriously furnished and comfortable, all with en suite bathrooms. To relax after a day of hiking or exploring, you can choose between the bar, serving simple and affordable dishes and a long malts and beers menu, and the chic restaurant, where cuisine is a must.

The Sumburgh Hotel is housed in an old laird's house erected in 1867. It is an ideal starting point for excursions on the island and is only 5 minutes from the airport. Rooms are available in single, double, twin and family rooms, each with en suite bathroom, free wi-fi, and classic amenities (courtesy tray, TV, hairdryer). The establishment is also a very good restaurant of British cuisine (the West Roe), and has its lounge bar, where snacks and pub dishes are also served.
