"Karrawa Guest House was great. Rooms were nice, clean, roomy, comfortable. Owners, who were also the staff, were very helpful, friendly, attentive. The rooms include breakfast, which is a full breakfast including made-to-order hot dishes -- food was good, the grilled tomato was a big hit in our family. The Guest House is in a quiet neighborhood (about a 20-minute pleasant walk to center of Kirkwall, or an easy bus or car ride)."
"The hotel had been recently renovated and the design features were beautiful.
It was a less than 5 minute walk from the bus station.
It was a 2 minute walk to the centre of town.
My sister and I would definetly recommend it to anyone. In fact we did tell people we met about it"
"Grateful for the clean, tastefully decorated room in a great location (downtown waterfront). It's an older building so it can be a bit noisy - particularly as the patrons in other rooms come in for the evening and get going in the morning. "
"I had the best, tastiest breakfast ever. Nothing fancy just really great tasting. The eggs were so fresh and I had the same thing all three mornings and it was very consistent. Room was great. Great location. Easy to find. I’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone who wants a lovely place to stay that’s very comfortable. 11 out of 10 for breakfast!"
"our room was in a separate building from the main hotel, but the room was excellent, clean, comfortable and well maintained. We had breakfast in the main hotel, and also dined there one evening. The food was well cooked and tasty"
