Stayed 5 days in late August. We flew into Sumburgh from Edinburgh after travelling up by car from Liverpool. I then picked up a hire car from Bolts Car Rental (nice clean car) and then travelled the 30 miles (approx) to Lerwick. The owner (Jean) met us at the apartments at an agreed time. She showed us around the apartment... More

These apartments are a brilliant place to stay. The rooms are spacious and fairly well equipped (although a DVD player would be a good addition as the apartments currently lack these). I stayed in the ground floor apartment as I was travelling with my husband and 7 month old son so thought this would be better for us, however I... More

Back to Shetland for the first time in 22 years with my wife who had never been before. Based in Lerwick as it's central for exploring the islands. Stayed in the top flat for 8 nights and it suited us just fine. To watch the gannets diving for fish as you wash the dishes is just fantastic. See the website... More

My wife and myself, our youngest son and his daughter (18 months) all stayed in the lower apartment whilst in Shetland for our oldest sons wedding in Brae. The apartment is spacious so you are not in each other’s way whilst moving about. The location is excellent, only a short walk from the centre of Lerwick. Excellent value for money... More

We had the upstairs apartment for a few days in May and were very impressed with the space, equipment, comfort and cleanliness of the flat. Very handy for a short walk into Lerwick town centre for meals, plenty of off street parking space and free wi-fi! So much better than staying at a hotel.

I stayed here in April for several days whilst waiting to move into my house and it was great. Had lower apartment to myself, warm, fully equipped kitchen, great modern bathroom and friendly owner. Ideal for Lerwick, close to Library and can walk into town easily. Plenty of room and a quiet road. ideal base for exploring island.

King Harald Apartments are hard to beat if you're looking for self-catering accommodation in Lerwick but don't necessarily want (or need) to commit to a full week's booking since the apartments are available to rent year-round on a daily basis (subject to availability). You have a choice of ground floor or first floor two bedroom apartments, with off-street parking outside.... More
