Basically the hotel is fine but some of the decor is a bit tired. However everything in the room worked and it was warm and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant which was OK though some of the staff appeared very young and not very experienced.
I found the staff to be really pleasant and helpful. Our stay was one night the food was really good.

Furniture was shabby in the room, but beds were comfortable. Staff were not very warm, except for the maid who did our room. I must have missed the information about there being no elevator, but we made it up to the third floor.

A fairly charmless purpose built hotel in a municipal car park setting, though it does have a lawn at the back. Professionally run, it serves its purpose more than adequately. There isn't much competition in Wick.

Good and comforting with garden view
Just wanted to see wick and wee brake and hotel was clean food was good room was clean and comfortable only one thing don’t have a lift
Have a look at the pic. It says it all. Surely this must violate some health code?
The mattrass was disgustingly, filthy. There was a chocolate bar wrapper on the floor. The windows havent been cleaned in ages. How can they get away with this?
Just a one night 'stand'. Worked well enough. Location okay. We have never stayed in Wick before. Food and drink in resto' was pretty okay.
Recommended to us be a friend who knows the area - but that was after we has made the booking.
Close enough to be convenient for ferry crossing in the morning from Scrabster to Stromness.

Friendly staff and comfortable, clean rooms. It is a bit dated but fine.
I had a great stay at your hotel yesterday! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm. We truly felt welcomed by the friendly staff. A special highlight was that our dog got a separate breakfast—such a thoughtful and heartwarming touch! It's clear that you go the extra mile for all your guests, including the furry ones. Thank you for a memorable experience!

The price, cleaness, staffs good attitude, comfortable beds
Likes - good variety of breakfast choices, dinner menu also good and food overall excellent. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Bed didn't seem a king as requested, but our room was changed quickly and efficiently. Relaxed atmosphere.
Other - bedroom decor and furniture a bit tired looking. A major crack in our bedroom window was taped over. Shower had very low pressure. (All of which led to the good review rather than the excellent).
Quick and easy check in, we hadnt booked a evening meal table but were accommodated for, it was a sunday carvery with lots of choice and it was lovely.
Breakfast was alittle unorganised, not much food out no glasses for juice
