Orcades Hostel

Comrie Pipe Band took over the whole hostel 1st - 6th July 2024. It was a brilliant base for our tour of the Orkney Isles. The rooms were just what we needed, comfy, spacious enough for all our kit and very clean! The lounge was big enough for all 20 of us to eat and chill out in the evenings. We had two mini buses and a car, the car park was plenty big enough for them all. Plus the great location meant we could walk into town for dinners or shopping. The booking process was easy and each door had it's own code to get in, so no loosing keys (perfect), even the front door was a code so whoever got back first could get in - no waiting for a key holder. Everyone agreed they'd stay again either as a group or an individual. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Orcades is great place to stay in Kirkwall. Very comfortable private room and bed, excellent facilities and extremely easy and efficient check in. Lesley and Erik who run the place are so helpful. If only all accommodation was run like this!

This quiet, clean and well located hostel met my husband and my needs perfectly. We had a decent sized twin beðed room with ensuite. There was a wardrobe with hangers, two shelves, tea making facilities and even a small fridge in our room. The self-catrring kitchen was clean and very well equpped and there was a decent sized sitting-dining room.
