The Magnus Hotel is an interesting old Victorian hotel! Full of character and inviting vib. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Very clean and they are in the process of doing some renovations. We only stayed 1 night but it was quite comfy.

Hotel for walkers.
The original part of the hotel appear a little dingy but it is over 100 years old. We were in the annex which was much brighter and had a lovely sea view. The en suite was quite tiny but featured new facilities. Unfortunately there wer no shelves within the shower enclosure for placing soap or hair shampoo. The meals were good quality but expensive.

We were not greeted upon arrival and had to wait quite awhile for someone to come lead us to our room. The bed was not comfortable and lacked a headboard. We could not control the bathroom combo light/fan, rather, it went on and off at its own whim. At breakfast, it was unclear whether to enter the dining room - the door was closed and had a sign saying, "Please wait to be seated." Once inside, it was so unbearably hot that my husband and I sweated throughout the meal. (Outdoors was not at all hot, but temperate.) Breakfast food was good; dinner the night before was not good. The main course tasted as if it had been frozen and reheated, or was made with powdered ingredients. Not as expected given previous reviews.

The hotel sits in a beautiful part of Shetland. The hotel and everyone there made me feel welcome & appreciated from the moment I stepped through the door. The room was comfortable and had all the nice little touches. I especially appreciated the people there sharing their knowledge and history of the area.
