Stayed in this hotel for business for two nights. Very fiendly and helpful staff. Central location close to all amenities in Kirkwall. Enjoyed breakfast and dinner at the hotel and the service was great and the food very nice. Very clean and spacious room with WiFi access which was very useful. Will definitely be staying here again and would recommend... More

Have stayed here many times and just love it. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Comfortable, modern, gorgeous rooms and amazing breakfast to start your day. Restaurant serving excellent macaroni cheese and a bar with vast choice of drinks. Looking forward to returning!

Excellent hotel, spotlessly clean, lovely staff who could not do enough for us. We arrived early and did not expect our room to be ready so just wanted to leave our luggage but were shown straight away to our room which was really modern with the most comfortable bed we have had in any hotel. We had a a meal... More

Stayed here last night and was pleasantly surprised by it... very modern, extremely comfortable rooms, luxury bathrooms with one of the most powerful showers I think I've ever been under. Excellent food. Can't think of anything I would change. Top marks.

Excellent stay through the week. I agree with previous comments about the cooked breakfasts being slightly greasy and of small portion if you only order a couple of items. Extensive fruit, yogurt and cereal options though. Had a room over the Bothy Bar enterance and the smokers were audible on occasion - not sure how much noisier this might have... More

Right from first contact and throughout my stay over 4 days I found staff very friendly and helpful. Room and amenities met expectations and according to website details. Modern, clean facilities, with the most comfortable bed I've slept in yet this holiday. Great food and breakfast more than ample. I stayed through a weekend and experienced minimal noise from the...

This was my second visit to the Albert Hotel. The reception area undersells the rooms. The rooks are clean, contemporary and well presented. The light in my room (108) was very dim which made it difficult to work at the desk. The room wa also very bare - if it was intended to be minimalist it didn't work - the... More

What a drab, depressing place! Everything about it is dull and brown and shabby, imo needing gutted...and most certainly NOT worth £143 per night. Brown, dated so called ''decor'' throughout, saggy mattresses, wonky old hairdryer, scalding water -beware, greasy and measly breakfasts, ' waitresses ' in the ( un-aired) breakfast room that have to be reminded and prompted all the...

There is nothing really wrong with the Albert (apart from the Breakfast), but it was considerably more expensive than some rather excellent B&Bs which are much better. The breakfast was rather greasy and in short supply. On the morning we left, we were first down; there was a very limited range of fruit and croissants which were not replenished by... More
