Hotel location ideal for coming off the ferry but after that your away from town. Buses don't run later at night , so it's taxi or lomg walk back. Staff were very good but the decor is dated and dark.changing to brighter colours would transform it.

An Enjoyable Stay
The hotel is situated very close to the terminal for the ferry from Aberdeen room. Indeed we went there for breakfast having docked at 0700, even though we couldn't check in until 1400. The room was comfortable, well appointed and well presented. There was a good choice of breakfast food and the cooked breakfasts were "to order" (ie not a buffet). However, whilst having good flavour, I did think it a little dry, especially the scrambled eggs, though my wife was perfectly satisfied wit hers. However, the dinners were incontrovertibly very good; we ate in the hotel restaurant on three of our five evenings in Lerwick and wished we had done so on a fourth evening instead of gong into Lerwick. All told, we'd certainly stay at the Shetland Hotel on future visit.

It was an excellent base for exploring the islands. Location next to the ferry terminal is not the prettiest but always something to look at and in easy distance of the town centre. Room was large and comfortable. Food was excellent and staff were invariably friendly and helpful.

Excellent local food
Although the hotel was rather dour from the outside, it was perfectly nice, if a little old-fashioned, inside. Particularly good was the food. The sirloin steak and kippers were the best we have ever eaten in a hotel or restaurant and are locally sourced. Service was very good and the room was very pleasant - the only negative being that the bed wasn't the most comfortable. A view of the Ferry Terminal made for interesting watching and we enjoyed watching the boating activities as the hotel is right next to the sea.

The property is a bit tired in condition. However the staff are friendly and helpful and keep the hotel spotlessly clean. Joseph in particular at breakfast stands out but all staff we encountered were great. We would stay here again

The hotel staff were efficient and pleasant. Our room was clean and tidy. The location across from the ferry dock and close to town was handy. The property needs updating. The furniture, mattresses and decor is worn, but functional. Our stay came with breakfast, but it was not made clear that this was provided.

Highly recommend this hotel!! The staff is top notch!!! We spoke with Jane quite a bit and she was so helpful with suggestions on what to see and where to go. Anything we needed, we were helped with. The breakfast is great quality and had a nice choice. Rooms are basic but comfortable. We had 3 of us in a room and the room was spacious. Room service was amazing. We had a wonderful stay, and would stay again! We lived Shetland, and it is the people there who make it a special place to visit!! Thank you

Liked that the property was near the terminal and had things to walk to. Staff was friendly and helpful. It’s an older hotel and some rooms are showing their wear. Our room was very musty.
