Glen Orchy House

We stayed in room 11 upstairs in June 2024. The room was very small, with a low ceiling under the dormer. The double bed was small with a tiny duvet that barely covered the bed. They had maybe run out of clean sheets as instead of a bottom fitted sheet on the mattress they had used a valance sheet which didn't stay on. The mattress was hard foam, not sprung, which I found hard to sleep on. The bedside lights had odd lightbulbs, one was too adark and one ws too bright. There was one large window in the room with good views but it quickly steamed up as there was a lack of ventilation in the room. The window opened fully into the room with no way to lock it at a certain position to stop it blowing open or stop the rain coming in. The bathroom had a bath with a shower hose attached to the taps which worked surprising well, although it leaked a bit. There was no fan in the bathroom so again no ventilation. The bathroom was also dark. Breakfast was very good. Dinner at the asian restaurant on site was excellent. The staff were very friendly.

This is the worst hotel I have stayed at in 25 years or more. The room was too small for the full sized bed. You had to walk sideways to move around 90% of the room. The room always smelled like the Thai restaurant on the ground floor. The bed did not come with a top sheet only a comforter. The mattress should have been replaced at least 5 years ago. My wife and I were basically sleeping on an uneven box spring that caused bruising from chronic pressure over 3 nights. The plumbing was installed by a six year old. The shower would stop hot water at a whim. Plus, ALL the water out of the shower would stop for 4 to 5 mins repeatedly. This hotel should be closed by the tourism department of Shetland.

Our flight was cancelled due to fog, Logan air managed to book us in here for the night, arrived at 10.30pm and were greeted by the host (a Thai woman), we asked if there was any chance of food-expecting a sandwich and the host replied that she would deliver 2 chicken satays and 2 beers to the room. She absolutely went above and beyond for us and we were truly grateful. Comfortable bed and decent shower in the room. We had to leave again at 6am so we never got to try the breakfast. Would 100% stay here in future.
