There was quite a number of us booked into this hotel from Aberdeen and Buchan Scooter Club. We received a friendly warm wellcome. Very clean, comfortable. We basically had the run of the place to chill and watch telly or have a couple of drinks in the games room. Breakfast was available next door at the community center and everywhere... More

This accommodation provde to be the 'best of the best' places to stay.Friendly and helpful staff who gave us excellent information about non touristy places to visit as well as the touristy thing to see. Hostel and room spotlessly clean, beds comfortable plus an onsuite. Our visit to Shetland was brilliant the only thing it was too short, I'd suggest... More

This is a great, cheap and comfortable place to stay when on the Shetland Isles. Lerwick is a very interessting town, but a place with a comfortable bed and a warm shower at the end of the day is essential.

I stayed here with 2 friends and we booked a 4 bed dorm to ourselves. Check-in was straightforward, we arrived very early off the ferry at 7am but were allowed to have the room straight away. The room had everything we needed, it had an ensuite shower & toilet, a small desk, lockers and bedding. The location was perfect, very... More

We stayed here for two nights in August 2012. The hostel is in a fabulous old building (fairly recently converted) and it has a lift for disabled access. We had a double room which had a desk and a sink - it was clean and comfortable. There are plenty toilets and showers which are kept very clean. The kitchen facilities... More

I stayed here for three nights and it became a home from home especially when I was holed up in Lerwick for the day after a flight was called off. So much nicer to have the full run of a... More

From the time I first booked accommodation here, I have had a wonderful experience with Islesburgh. The hostel is comfortable and clean, with a large, well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and common room, not to mention the excellent location in the middle of town just a few blocks away from the waterfront shops. (Plus the showers are in individual rooms with... More

Having been unnecessarily hassled by rather grim security officers at Inverness Airport, a flight over a grey and tossing sea and touching down at Sumburgh Head in wind and rain it was so good to find our accommodation to be warm and everything we could wish for. Our three night stay was a happy one and we would enthusiastically walk... More

There's absolutely nothing I could fault about the Islesburgh House Hostel. Safe storage for the bikes, friendly and very helpful staff, comfortable accommodation, free wi-fi and a well stocked kitchen. This really does set the standard for hostels.
