Varis House ★★

"Bus stop nearby so you can travel to other parts of Shetland easily. Nigel is very friendly. If you want to leave your luggage before checking in, do call beforehand"

The Shetland Hotel ★★★

Glen Orchy House ★★

"Well below what is advertised. And not in line with what we had on this trip to Orkney, Shetland and No. 500. Old or even dilapidated accommodation. Average cleanliness. Rough welcome by the owner. 2 positive points: well located near the center and good breakfast with the person in charge very kind. To be avoided."

Queens Hotel ★★★

"Do not stay at this hotel. Dirty towels, dirty bedding, no food provisions, no tv, bed bugs. Mattress solid and squeaky and mattress protector with lots of black bits on it. Management don’t care. Smells of mould."

Eddlewood Guest House ★★★

"Really friendly and helpful owners who went the extra mile to make my stay a lovely one. Nice clean room, perhaps could benefit from a couple of drinking glasses, and a surface or at least hooks in the bathroom for wash bag and clothes. Otherwise, perfectly adequate. Good breakfast and other than no jugs for milk on the table (I used a cup), it was spot-on...... Toast, boiled egg, fruit, yogurt, cheese and even smoked salmon - a real treat. Choice of teas and coffee."

Fort Charlotte Guest House ★★★

"Excellent Guesthouse. Very clean, tidy & comfortable. Ryan is very knowledgeable and a great source of local information. The breakfasts are fabulous and prepared to your request (crispy bacon!). The kitchen area is in full view of the breakfast room and it was spotless! Perfect. There's a good selection of breakfast options to choose from. Ryan and Anita's team: Linda (mum), Kelly and Madison are lovely and really happy & helpful. The cosy ambience of the breakfast room for us fostered lots of chitchat with the other guests and we learnt of other things to go and do. Our room was well kept, nicely recently decorated and clean shower room. Good supply of towels and shampoo, shower gel, conditioner. Well stocked coffee and tea tray plus fresh milk everyday in the mini fridge. Bedding was all clean and fresh. Carpets spotless! Location is everything. The guesthouse is in Lerwick with good restaurants close by (literally a few minutes walk away). Use Ryan's recommended ones. The Guesthouse is a stones throw from the Brassay ferry and the birdwatching boats (highly recommend Phil Harris' 2.5 hour excursion). There's a lovely elevated patio area at the back of the guesthouse and one evening we bought a bottle of wine from a local shop and sat there and had a very good haddock & chips bought from the local chippy a mere 50m away. A great way to finish our stay! PS Lerwick is very quiet, so no late night noise. Also car parking is very close by."

The Lerwick Hotel ★★★

"It’s a shame the rooms didn’t match up to the main reception and bar area of the hotel. They really require updating, the general condition of the rooms is not very good at all, the walls and ceiling are in bad condition and the mattress is ridiculously soft. The food and drinks we good and the staff were friendly and helpful."
