Grand Hotel Lerwick

Fantastic staff and owners. Helped us out tremendously. Hotel very clean. Close to all amenities. Large free public car Park 1 min walk just behind the hotel. Main bus stop 3 min walk on the Esplanade. Hotel very dated tho. No lift and quite a few stairs!! Everything needs renewing. Only Breakfast served in the restaurant, generous and delicious.

Great location and I had a very comfortable night's sleep. Clean room and staff that will go above and beyond for you.

By coincidence I spent three nights here for a work trip. I travel a lot for my job, being in hotels all over the world. This wasn't luxurious, there was no gym, no spa, no airco etc..But there was an authencity in this place you hardly ever meet anymore in these sterile surgical hotels. For me it was one of my best stays ever, being sucked back in a time I remember from childhood when things were just more simple. The fact that locals pull in to have a few pints at the bar, makes you blend in a little with the culture. Owners and staff are friendly and hospitable above and beyond the call of duty. When they heard I needed to check out before breakfast hours, two egg and bacon sandwiches were freshly prepared for me at 5.30am to take with me, so I had something to eat ( and damn they were good sandwiches!!!!). Ow and btw, the bed was really comfortable.
