Nice stay in this hotel. We stayed as a family, we hadn't booked enough room because all the hotels were full in Lerwick. So we arrived a little bit stress that we would have to sleep in the car. The staff gently found one room for us and they was really nice. The room was ok, with a nice view... More

This hotel is a liitle bit out of the town centre, however many of the rooms have a really great sea view. The rooms are clean and reasonably equipped with a good en suite. The decor and furnishings in some areas are a bit tired however the rooms are comfortable. The bar is fully stocked and the staff fairly attentive.... More

Having recently returned from a 3 night stay at the Lerwick Hotel, I pleased to say we had a very good stay. The staff were all very helpful, friendly and chatty. I made a request for the outside of the window to be cleaned as the salty air was getting to it and they acted very quickly on the request.... More

We have taken our 3 kids here for lunch twice now and would not consider going anywhere else. The staff are extremely pleasant, friendly and helpful. The menu is varied from week to week with great choices every time. The kids menu is a steal for 2 or 3 courses with choice to suit any fussy eater and comes with... More

I've found this hotel very nice and comfortable. The hotel is very well furnished, and the staff is very nice. Food is very great, at both dinner and breakfast. WiFi in the room was quite slow, but fine for my needs. Maybe it is quite expensive, but it remains a good place.

We visited Lerwick in the Shetland Isles for the Viking festival of Up Helly Aa. So this review will have 2 parts. First the hotel itself followed by some advice on how to survive Up Helly Aa. The hotel is relatively modern, comfortable and well run. It is situated just as one enters Lerwick so is easy to find, yet... More

I have used the Lerwick Hotel on several occasions whilst on business at the Sullom Voe oil terminal. Lerwick is a convenient stop about half way from Sumburgh Airport to the oil terminal. The hotel is modern and situated close to Lerwick Town with a nice view over Breiwick Bay and Bressay island. Lerwick Town itself is an interesting place... More

12 of my work colleagues and I went for a meal in November to The Lerwick Hotel. We had arranged to have 'The Lighthouse Suite' which is a room off the main dining room & bar which they can have for functions. It was good to have the privacy of a separate room, and there was ample space for us.... More
