The Albert was an excellent place to stay for 3 days while we went around Okkney Islands. Our room was huge and a view of the ocean! The only possible drawback was parking can be a challenge! But doable.

Great staff - very friendly and helpful. Must nominate Dawn the receptionist as being especially helpful when we were stranded due to the ferry being cancelled - she found us space in the same rooms again - result! We stayed in the new rooms and these were clean and warm. Bar was friendly and the food OK for both dinner and breakfast.

We liked the hotel, liked our room, the staff, etc. But we had a room with an adjoining door and it was paper thin. We could hear the neighbors' conversation, the TV , a sneeze. We also had the misfortune of being right above the pub on a Saturday night. Otherwise, would stay at the Albert again!

This was one of the best hotels we have stayed at. The suite was a very creative design and so comfortable. The staff were amazing in how they made sure we were comfortable. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous in its design which is relatively newly renovated we understood. The management was so helpful . They kept our bags safely until we left for the night ferry. The bar was great and the food at both the bar and restaurant very tasty and reasonable in cost. Also need to mention the staff at Northline ferry who helped us secure comfortable return trip and the tourist information !! A very special place is Kirkwall!!!!
