“The Royal Hotel's central Stromness position is undeniably its strongest asset, an ideal launchpad for island explorations. While evening dining requires a short stroll to the Ferry Inn, the inclusive breakfast, particularly the freshly cooked kippers, is a genuine highlight, and the refurbished rooms are notably comfortable.”
