Stayed here at the end of March (touring on motorbike) and was very lucky to have beautiful weather. Anyway the Orca, is very central, but as Stromness is not very big not to much of an issue. The room itself was large with shower room, furniture was oldish but clean and comfy. Fantastic breakfasts served up by Doris the friendly... More

We booked 3 nights here for our honeymoon. We decided to leave after 2 mins and find somewhere else. Location was good but the room was very small and we didn't think it was suitable for our honeymoon stay. Tv was tiny and would have been unwatchable. Disappointing.

A bit of a dust would have been nice. Bed was a bit crumpled looked like it had been already slept in, probably wasnt maybe just needed ironed. No parking near the hotel. The owner was friendly and help'full. Can't comment on the cooked breakfast as we were catching the 06.30 hrs ferry in the morning. For the money it... More

In April my father and me made a little 3-day trip on the Orkney islands. We came from Caitness up with the ferry to Stromness, so we had to take a hotel there, and because the"Orca Hotel" had a price-service condition, we decided to stay there. The first impression , when you entrance the hotel is nice and very unnormal,... More

You get what you pay for and a bit more. Almost every review has mentioned the breakfast - not without cause. I agree with another reviewer who said it was the best she/he had ever had. 10/10 for quality! I was staying with two friends and we shared a room which was more than adequate for the three of us....

This B&B is in the centre of Stromness. It's a bit dated but clean, comfortable, quiet and inexpensive. It has all the facilities you'd expect for this level of accomodation. Stromness itself is a hole. Be sure to eat on the ferry if you're arriving late - the local pubs clearly can't be bothered to cater for the influx of... More

Very good low key hotel. Very friendly, clean etc. No evening meals or bar but the Royal Hotel is just across the road. And the best cooked breakfast I have ever had with locally sourced food and all before 7.15 am! Perfect!!

We decided to use the Orca Hotel after reading previous reviews and must say that we were greatly impressed with all of its facilities and would definately return. The room was well equiped with all that was required including tea and coffee facilities. It was a pleasure to attend breakfast in the morning and receive such a friendly and satisfying... More

We have stayed here twice as we were so happy with the first visit. The rooms are very clean with TV, tea, coffee and biscuits topped up daily. The bathroom was modern, bright and clean. The hotel is situated on the main street of Stromness but you will have to leave the car at the top or bottom of the... More
