The room was nice and light. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was continental style. Peter, the host, was friendly but a little disorganised.

The property is well positioned close to the centre of Lerwick with ample street parking. It was fully equipped, meticulously clean, the beds were comfortable and offered good value for money. Run as a family business they certainly take pride in their investment and without being intrusive ensure all you needs are met. Excellent accommodation.

Very clean well equipped hostel that did not require us to share our rooms with others. Spacious kitchen and dining room, spotlessly clean all the time. Helpful but unobtrusive staff. Great location in Lerwick fairly close to Tesco and Co Op, close to town centre. Comfortable bunks.

The location couldn't be better. David was very welcoming and helpful and the house had everything we needed to cook a couple of meals. The bed was really comfy and the living room snug. We loved our stay!

I was in Lerwick during a stretch of unpleasant weather - cold and rainy with strong winds sometimes gusting at gale force. I would not recommend October or probably not winter. I will return, but next time in May or June! The city and surrounding towns are worth the visit. Next time I make the journey I will go to Kirkwall, too,

This is where you need to base if you want to explore the Shetland Islands. We found a great tour guide who took us all the way to the northern end of Unst and with his 40+ year history on the island was a wealth of information. Message me if you want his contact info.
We also did one of the wildlife boat tours which was great!

We very much enjoyed seabird watching tour departing from the small boat ferry port in Lerwick, which is really recommended! We brought a car rented at Aberdeen to Orkney/Shetland by ferries and it was nicely worked. Taking your own car is recommend as the great bird watching and archaeological sites are far away from Lerwick. Unfortunately the puffin season was over when we were in the Orkney/Shetland. I would like to visit again to see puffins!

Lerwick, well known to many people because of the TV series 'Shetland', is a charming town with many interesting features. Most importantly, the people are very friendly and welcoming to visitors, a good thing as during the summer months it is a regular stop off for cruise ships.
The town centre is tucked just behind the sea front and contains interesting local shops, cafes and restaurants. Our favourite was 'The Dowry', which has great food and excellent coffee. Visit Fort Charlotte, take a walk around the Nab for breathtaking views, catch a ferry across the sound to the island of Bressay, peruse the outstanding (and free) Shetland Museum or walk out of town to explore the ancient Broch of Clickimin. Of course, there is also a tour of the locations used to film 'Shetland'.

Lerwick is a great base for shorter excursions around the islands. We could have stayed longer for more hiking and half/full day visits. Shetland has a lot to offer. The nature is outstanding and people are very friendly.
We really enjoyed our tour with Lara Thomason who guided us around south Shetland and took us the the north west cliffs of Shetland. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to hang with. Next time it will be for hiking!

A lovely place with plenty to do.
A lovely place with plenty to do. Those of you who want to relax can enjoy the amazing scenery and wildlife from many locations around Lerwick and even when having a coffee or eating dinner at some of the locations.
nothing it’s a complete dump - arrived reception boarded up no staff - eventually another disgruntled guest gave me a mobile. number to get a member of staff over - eventually arrived - my room had been taken - showed me another and went to get towels and a room key and never returned - terrible and unbelievable price - this is not a hotel and should not be advertised as such it’s a rip off diss house for contract workers - who all hate the place - it’s a bad joke - shameful - I’m expecting a full refund but good luck with that
Perfect place to stay if you are planning on spending a few days or more exploring the islands. The apartment is very nicely furnished with everything you would need, hosts are lovely and had left us some basics (bread, milk, cake and wine!) to get us started on arrival. Rooms were spotless and some lovely views. A very easy drive to Tesco just down the hill, and only a couple of minutes to drive to the centre of Lerwick. Overall we loved staying here and highly recommend it, there was plenty of room for our family of 5.
Nellie and James were superb hosts. An added bonus was that Nellie was an exceptional cook conjuring up an amazing seafood platter which my husband and friends devoured. Has to be ordered in advance but if you love seafood well worth the wait.
The only slightly disadvantage of this lovely hotel being on Bressay was that it has to be accessed via a rather expensive ferry from Lerwick. Ferry times vary, but average out to be every 45 mins but I have to say this really wasn’t a problem for us.
The Grand is indeed grand, a wonderful building with an incredible interior. Very nice to be there. The hotel has a ‘grand’ location, being in the centre of Lerwick, convenient for the bus station and nearby restaurants. The hotel owner was incredibly helpful with questions I had. Very pleasant room. I have never been to the Shetland Islands but I felt the Grand Hotel was an excellent way to be introduced.
The location is fantastic!! We could walk to everything in Lerwick. The staff at the hotel is kind, fun, friendly, helpful. The shower/tub was clean and comfortable and easy to use. Great light. The mattress was super comfortable and I slept really well. I would absolutely stay here again. The breakfast was astounding!!!!!
The room is immaculately clean. Love the small personalised touches e.g. chocolate mints, tea, coffee and chocolate milk tray (kettle). We were able to use their kitchen. The host doesn't live in the same place so it is like a hotel. REally warm friendly hosts. The breakfast is yummy. The location is amazing! Will visit again!
The location was great. Slightly out of Lerwick and convenient. The hosts were attentive and gracious. The place was clean. They had everything you could possibly need for a self catering cottage. The Wi-Fi was fast and easy. They had good blackout curtains. This matters in the summer! I would stay there again definitely!
Excellent location directly opposite the ferry terminal. Friendly staff were helpful. The rooms were a good size and the breakfast was good. We didn't eat there in the evening. There is a co-op store 5mins walk from the hotel and it takes 20mins to walk into the town center. There is ample free parking at the hotel.
Loved my wee single room, was lovely and clean, comfy bed, huge tv on wall, ensuite shower which was great. On the ground floor, which was even better! Lovely friendly staff, great breakfast too,would highly recommend Solheim Guest House to anyone coming to visit Lerwick.
The location is excellent, a short walk away from Lerwick center, and easy to walk to for the port or bus stop.
Staff made us feel very welcome, and they helped us whenever we needed. Breakfast was delicious with a really good atmosphere.
The apartment was warm, clean and well equipped. It was also pretty central in Lerwick so we walked to most places we wanted to go to. There was supplies left in the kitchen which was nice too. We would rent again if available.
Apartment was very clean, well appointed and in an excellent location in Lerwick. The apartment is finished to a very high standard with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Would definitely stay here again.
WI FI worked ok , Kitchen was good, it's wasn't one of the dreadful hotels Lerwick has on offer. And If you walk down to the end of the street you are looking at the hoose where Jimmy Perez stays.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Location was about a 15 minute walk to downtown Lerwick. Breakfast was hot and nutritious. Restaurant service was fast and friendly.
Although the room was spotlessly clean, the hotel was EXTREMELY tired and most of the furniture, fixtures and fittings should have been replaced years ago.
