Had everything you could want.

Room was good value, clean and comfortable. Location was superb, a few minutes walk to the train station, bus station and Shetland ferry terminal. Breakfast was expensive for what it was

During our recent stay, the ibis hotel where we had a reservation was actually overbooked, however the reception team were spectacular. They had already booked us a new room at another property, the Park Inn by Radisson, which wasn't too far away. They arranged for a taxi to take us over almost immediately and provided us with a complimentary breakfast the following morning. We are very grateful for the time, care and consideration the staff took to compensate us for the oversight on the booking system. Thank you!

Tall ships break

I had a lovely stay. Hotel very convenient for Tall Ships and a great location for shopping and train station. Staff were very helpful and really friendly and welcoming.Room was spotless and bed very comfortable. Buffet style breakfast had a good choice and was more than adequate. I’ll definitely stay here again.

Nice run but a lot of noise (external / internal )

Nice room, impressive shower cubicle. Rather a small window, not much of a view. Name of hotel is misleading since it is not on the quayside but two blocks away. Even with doubleglazing a lot of traffic noise. Also a lot of noise from other nearby rooms and the corridor, lots of bangs. Breakfast fair - had run out of wholemeal bread which did not impress me.

Overnight stay

The staff member who checked us in could have been a bit more welcoming. Room was dated. Could do with a renovation but the bathroom was great. Beds were comfortable and pillows good. Breakfast was more limited than other hotels we’ve been in. Heard other guests keeping on asking for more plates, butter etc.
