"My second time staying here, and I will be back. The room was spacious super clean and comfy and the woman on reception couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. It's a shame they don't reopen the restaurant for evening meals though, I'm sure they would be busy every night. The Co-op has changed to an Asda - it's right across the road and the hotel offers wine glasses in the lounge if you bring a bottle in to your room. Very nice place."

"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

Albert Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lit confortable. Thé et café dans la chambre. Propreté"

Karrawa Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Fyona and Colin are the ultimate hosts, who looked after us fantastically during our short stay. Going above and beyond, they don't just 'own' a guest house, they run a very welcoming 'guest home', with outstanding breakfast and clean, well equipped rooms and a friendly, helpful and informative attitude. Truly enjoyed our time in Karrawa and would certainly return again and highly recommend to others. THANK YOU for going the extra mile for us!"

The Orkney Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were very lucky because both times we parked at the hotel, we got one of the 2 slots in front of the hotel, so we didn't have to try and find the additional parking lot, but the staff did give us a map to find it. Keep in mind that there is no lift, so depending on your floor you need to carry your bags up. The 23kg bag was not much fun to take up and then down 2 flights of stairs. The food for breakfast was very good whether the cereal/yogurt/fruit or the from the menu. The staff in the breakfast area were really good. The front desk is a little wonky because even the person in the office there isn't as helpful as the front desk clerk who isn't there most of the time, but who is very helpful when you can get them. The WiFi isn't extremely fast, but I was able to work, especially in the library where there was power. It would be nice to have higher chairs with tables other than coffee table height. Even in the room there isn't a desk to work at. We were overall very happy with the stay and the Italian restaurant across the street was perfect for eating early."

West End Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely stay thank you."

Ferry Inn Stromness

10/10 Excellent

"Top notch!"

The Ayre Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was great"

Smithfield guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Easy parking and my room was spotlessly clean, breakfast was cooked to order and was delicious No meals in the evening was the only downside but I was able to get evening meals without having to travel too far"

Kirkwall Youth Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect 'utilitarian' accommodation for a fan of hostels ... ... The building is not particularly attractive and the rooms are basic and afford no good views ... However, the beds are comfortable, the many bathrooms/shower rooms are newly equipped and excellent, the kitchens are great, the dinning room large & practical, and the lounge very comfortable and equipped with board games & books along with comfy settees. The hostel is a few minutes walk into the centre of town and just a mile from a lovely swimming beach at Scapa where I swam every morning, except for a couple of mornings when I drove a little further to Inganess Beach which is beautiful. For me, so much nicer than a posh hotel because you can cook & eat at any time and fellow visitors always seem relaxed, friendly & chatty ... you just seem to get a much better class of person in a Scottish hostel!"

The Shore

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice accommodation, I have stayed before so I knew what i was doing into, I will be back."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in St Mary'S?

The best area to stay in St Mary's is the village centre, particularly around Main Street and the harbour.This area is the heart of St Mary's, offering easy access to essential amenities and the island's ferry services. Main Street is where you'll find most of the local shops, cafes, and restaurants, and it's a pleasant area for a stroll. The harbour is a focal point, with boats coming and going, and offers lovely views of the water.Couples looking for a relaxing break will appreciate the convenience of staying in the village centre. You'll be within walking distance of several eateries for evening meals and can easily catch a boat for day trips to other islands from the harbour. This allows for an easy experience without needing to rely on taxis or long walks.For those who enjoy a bit more seclusion but still want good access, staying slightly outside the main village, perhaps along the roads leading towards Hugh Town, can be a good option. You might find properties with more expansive views or larger gardens, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.
