The Lerwick Hotel, hotel in Lerwick

Modern & well equipped hotel 10 minutes walk from the town center, nestling on the shore of Breiwick Bay. This attractive hotel is well equipped for the modern traveler and close to local amenities.

The Letwick is situated right on the bay, with stunning views of the bay's coastline. We even had the joy of watching a sea otter hunt from right in front of our room! The TV was one of the largest we've had in any of our many stays in the UK. The staff at reception were phenomenal, and worked very hard to improve our experience.

Islesburgh House Hostel, hotel in Lerwick

Located in Lerwick, a 6-minute walk from Bain's Beach, Islesburgh House Hostel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

The manager that took care of our stay arranged a different room for us than the one we had reserved, because we are somewhat elderly and not really able to handle stairs. He prepared a room especially for us that we could access with the lift. He went above and beyond to help us! Helped us with laundry facilities etc. Great guy!

    I was in Lerwick during a stretch of unpleasant weather - cold and rainy with strong winds sometimes gusting at gale force. I would not recommend October or probably not winter. I will return, but next time in May or June! The city and surrounding towns are worth the visit. Next time I make the journey I will go to Kirkwall, too,

    This is where you need to base if you want to explore the Shetland Islands. We found a great tour guide who took us all the way to the northern end of Unst and with his 40+ year history on the island was a wealth of information. Message me if you want his contact info. We also did one of the wildlife boat tours which was great!

    We very much enjoyed seabird watching tour departing from the small boat ferry port in Lerwick, which is really recommended! We brought a car rented at Aberdeen to Orkney/Shetland by ferries and it was nicely worked. Taking your own car is recommend as the great bird watching and archaeological sites are far away from Lerwick. Unfortunately the puffin season was over when we were in the Orkney/Shetland. I would like to visit again to see puffins!

    Lerwick, well known to many people because of the TV series 'Shetland', is a charming town with many interesting features. Most importantly, the people are very friendly and welcoming to visitors, a good thing as during the summer months it is a regular stop off for cruise ships. The town centre is tucked just behind the sea front and contains interesting local shops, cafes and restaurants. Our favourite was 'The Dowry', which has great food and excellent coffee. Visit Fort Charlotte, take a walk around the Nab for breathtaking views, catch a ferry across the sound to the island of Bressay, peruse the outstanding (and free) Shetland Museum or walk out of town to explore the ancient Broch of Clickimin. Of course, there is also a tour of the locations used to film 'Shetland'.

    Lerwick is a great base for shorter excursions around the islands. We could have stayed longer for more hiking and half/full day visits. Shetland has a lot to offer. The nature is outstanding and people are very friendly. We really enjoyed our tour with Lara Thomason who guided us around south Shetland and took us the the north west cliffs of Shetland. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to hang with. Next time it will be for hiking!

    nothing it’s a complete dump - arrived reception boarded up no staff - eventually another disgruntled guest gave me a mobile. number to get a member of staff over - eventually arrived - my room had been taken - showed me another and went to get towels and a room key and never returned - terrible and unbelievable price - this is not a hotel and should not be advertised as such it’s a rip off diss house for contract workers - who all hate the place - it’s a bad joke - shameful - I’m expecting a full refund but good luck with that

    Breakfast was served in the sea-side restaurant. Coffee/Tea was served freshly brewed and free for extra. Hot breakfast (Full Scottish Breakfast) was served on your preferred order and good value. I especially would like to mention is a quality of Croissants and cold food (ham, boiled eggs, tomatoes) served at the buffet counter, which was really good and we very much enjoyed! Breakfast of the Lerwick Hotel is recommendable!

    We stayed on the Isle of Bressay which is a 7 minute ferry trip across the Sound to Lerwick. It was a little different and for us, very pleasant staying in the country side and looking across to Lerwick. The breakfasts were fantastic, the staff friendly, the room we had was very comfortable, clean, and excellent facilities and a wonderful sea view to across to Lerwick

    The room is immaculately clean. Love the small personalised touches e.g. chocolate mints, tea, coffee and chocolate milk tray (kettle). We were able to use their kitchen. The host doesn't live in the same place so it is like a hotel. REally warm friendly hosts. The breakfast is yummy. The location is amazing! Will visit again!

    The apartment was warm, clean and well equipped. It was also pretty central in Lerwick so we walked to most places we wanted to go to. There was supplies left in the kitchen which was nice too. We would rent again if available.

    Location of guest house was perfect. You could walk everywhere in Lerwick wry no problem. Did not like the buffet diy style breakfast basket. If we’d known this at time of booking we would not have chosen this guest house.
