Queens Hotel

Plus points, in a great location and the staff we did meet were lovely. No parking but there is free street parking nearby. Negative points, the rooms / hotel in serious need of updating and redecoration which the hotel is under going at present although theres a sense it has been o going for sometime. Tiny TV which you may need to turn on to drown out the sounds (every sound!) from the room next door. No restaurant or bar, although you can use the sister hotel, The Grand (optimistic title), which is only a 3 minute walk. Slight musty smell that permeates everywhere. No need to bring an alarm clock as the friendly seagulls tap on the window with their beak very early in the morning.

This place is shuttered but they are still taking prepaid reservations. I booked it online. Locals here say it’s being closed was a blessing in disguise since the place is essentially “a dump.”

Terrible room and good luck trying to check-in. I don’t usually leave negative reviews even if I have a bad experience but this hotel is really terrible, if it was a cheap rate you could understand, but we were knocking on almost £300 a night. Arrived there at 2.00pm, the time that check-in opens. No one there, reception has a phone and a note to call for assistance. There was 3 numbers, first two didn’t work. Third I got through to someone who said they would just ‘pop down’. 15 mins nobody arrived, tried calling the numbers again, nobody answers. Tried again and again and nobody responds. Ended up waiting almost an hour in their reception which has no wifi, no phone signal (so no 4G or mobile calls can be made), so sat waiting doing nothing. A guy arrives through the front door and gives us a key, no apologies, no small talk, just room number and here’s your key, just make sure you know there will be no breakfast. Room was terrible, wallpaper peeling off everywhere, heater massively dented, shower head held together by tape, windows rotting and permanently open, the tiny tv didn’t work, everything metal in the bathroom rusted. To be fair, the mattress was relatively comfortable but a very dated room that needs a lot of work but has been neglected for a long time. This isn’t just one room, this is the second time I have stayed there and the room (and reception experience) was just the same. The problem is that there is a lack of hotel rooms in Shetland and so you end up having no choice if you leave it late to book.

Jayden, Megan and Shawn were friendly and helpful and kind. The hotel is very very old but beautiful and the beds clean and comfortable. The hotel is right in the water so you fall asleep to water lapping at the walls. The hotel is also super convenient as it is right next to the main shopping street. Highly recommend

古い建物なので、部屋や廊下の狭さはまるで船室のようで、ただ、それも面白かったです。トイレの水がなかなかでないのが難点でしたが、タンクに水を追加すれば問題ないことがわかりましたし、浴室の水やお湯は問題なく出ました。設備は古いけど、それを補う面白さと心配りがあり、とくに、バスマットが各自用にあり、さすが老舗の心配りだと思いました。とても気にいりました。

Please be aware of positive reviews on this property, the building is in a complete state of disrepair. It shows its age magnificently, and although
