As you arrive at the Norseman, gut instinct is to turn around and go. Flaking paint, dirty windows, look of a working mans club really puts you off. However, Once inside,pleasant staff ease the anxiety! I was given keys to room 314.......a real disappointment! The carpet was bare (cord showing), curtain hanging off, window dirty etc.... But the room was... More

Middle 3 nights of an 11-night tour of Scotland. The hotel is centrally located in Wick, and its interior is much nicer than one might expect from its rather stark exterior! The room was comfortable, the service friendly, the breakfast excellent. Dinner was good and the servings copious! I would have not hesitation in returning to the Norseman!

Located in the sleepy – and rather tired looking – town of Wick, the Norseman Hotel is, at least, well located in the centre. The town’s culinary highlight according to locals is Wetherspoon although the Norseman’s breakfast offering was really good. Arriving at the hotel, negotiating past piles of laundry and staff painting walls in the corridor, I found my... More

Excellent central location in Wick, with nice Riverside views. The Hotel was busy with both foreign visitors and business people. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient. The room was nice with a TV and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was good, with a nice selection of fresh produce.

Really good little hotel, very comfortable and clean. Sleep was slightly spoilt by the boy racer team that meets in the adjacent car park about 50m from the hotel bedrooms. The revving and tooting carries on until approx 2300. The food served is lovely, and the breakfast selection and quality was a pleasant surprise.

As a stop-over, the night before getting the ferry to Orkney, I booked a twin room, with breakfast, through 'Laterooms.com', at a cost of £70. There was a free upgrade offer, subject to availability. The hotel was obviously going through a major refurbishment and some of the ground floor public rooms were very smart. However, there was a lot of... More
