Great staff - very friendly and helpful. Must nominate Dawn the receptionist as being especially helpful when we were stranded due to the ferry being cancelled - she found us space in the same rooms again - result! We stayed in the new rooms and these were clean and warm. Bar was friendly and the food OK for both dinner and breakfast.

Adrian, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We liked the hotel, liked our room, the staff, etc. But we had a room with an adjoining door and it was paper thin. We could hear the neighbors' conversation, the TV , a sneeze. We also had the misfortune of being right above the pub on a Saturday night. Otherwise, would stay at the Albert again!
Susan, 2-night trip

Love this hotel in Orkney
Jane, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A comfortable , enjoyable stay, friendly helpful staff. Please put a sign for the hotel on the end wall facing car park. Arriving tired off 11pm ferry and following SATNAV to car park it was a problem finding the front door.
Patricia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

No free parking, at the price being charged I would expect free parking
George, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was one of the best hotels we have stayed at. The suite was a very creative design and so comfortable. The staff were amazing in how they made sure we were comfortable. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous in its design which is relatively newly renovated we understood. The management was so helpful . They kept our bags safely until we left for the night ferry. The bar was great and the food at both the bar and restaurant very tasty and reasonable in cost. Also need to mention the staff at Northline ferry who helped us secure comfortable return trip and the tourist information !! A very special place is Kirkwall!!!!

Brilliant room, great view and clean. Water bottle was welcome touch for those of us who don't drink hot drinks. Only negative was the bed was a bit lumpy, but nothing to stop me sleeping.
Gary, 1-night trip

Every thing was basically good, staff are nice, hotel is clean a new, the only problem was the noise from the bar and event room kept us up both nights until gone midnight. Not ideal for c£200 a night
