Royal Athenaeum Suites

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean rooms. Ideal location for bars and restaurants, all within walking distance. Also great location for shopping.

Great stay

Great place. Check-in was perfect. The receptionists noticed we had a lot of shopping, so she checked us into a bigger apartment, which we were very grateful for as we had more shopping to do. 1st floor apartment with views over to the Christmas Village. Plenty of room for us both with adequate cooking facilities it had everything you would need for self catering. We did eat out but were very happy to find tins in the cupbpard with tea coffee augar and milk in the fridge. Amazing comfortable bed and pillows. Loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom. the large shower was amazing. Considering the location of these apartments, we were not disturbed in the night with people passing pr coming out the ****** in the early hours. Will definitely recommend it to fellow Shetlanders and look forward to returning

We have stayed in this location on several occasions. The serviced suites are to be recommended & we usually try to stay in the same one. The location is excellent - central & close to some of the historic architecture in the city. On previous reviews I have mentioned the state of the windows - those overlooking Union Street are absolutely filthy outside. Clean them please!!!!!

Enjoyed our stay, was nice to get away for a break. Did find someone’s perfume and clothes label in the room. The sponge we received for cleaning our dishes had already been used by someone. Considering the price for a night which I’d say is a little high you’d think every apartment would have new sponges for new residents. Considering all of this I would return to the apartments as this isn’t my first time staying with yourselves and I do love the apartments. Staff are a bonus as they were all very polite and kind.

Very accommodating when we had been refused our booking at the Siberia Hotel basically for being English. Turned out to be a good thing. Immaculate, well equipped room and friendly helpful staff

Really nice large, well appointed rooms and very modern. Could not get a better location right in the thick of it all. The bell ringing from the tower certainly makes sure you don't sleep in. Numerous bars and restaurants very close. Definitely a winner.

I love the suite but checking in was a NIGHTMARE. It’s extremely confusing because the door is locked but there are no instructions- just for “delivery drivers” to call a number. I called the number on the website, a very rude person told me she’d let the receptionist know to open the door but I waited 15 minutes— outside. In the rain. With my luggage. I’d been traveling all day and just wanted to get to my room. I was almost crying then banged on the door and someone opened it finally and she chastised me for not already knowing to call the number on the paper saying delivery drivers should call that number. She then made me wait another half an hour for my room. It was absolutely ridiculous
