Solheim Guest House

This guest house was a mixture of good and bad. Pros: Fantastic location Large bedroom with table, chairs & sofa Parking right outside was no problem When we told Manager of things that were faulty he got them fixed. Cons: Place needs attention. Door handle fell off, wall light hanging off, curtains falling down, every plug coming off an extension adaptor & shower kept going cold. Breakfast very poor with cheap ingredients.

After a stormy 14 hour overnight ferry trip we arrived at the guest house very tired at around 8am. We were met with a warm welcome . Caroline advised our room was yet to be cleaned but would be ready at 10am, hours before we anticipated. She invited us to sit down in the breakfast room and bought us a lovely French press each. After a rest we left our luggage and went on the recommended walk. Caroline advised if we did the circular walk our room will be ready waiting and it was! We tend to choose places to stay that are welcoming, friendly and feel like home. This place did. Its clean, comfortable and set up beautifully. Breakfast is good quality thick bacon, fresh eggs, beautiful bread, yoghurt, fruit, juices, cheese, Pastries and of course good coffee! We took Caroline's advice on sightseeing and it was just as described. I would not hesitate in staying again. We stopped in room 7, top floor with ensuite. Probably ask for ground floor if mobility issues. As usual I forgot to take photos when we got into the room, the photo of the room is when we were packing to.leave hence the mess. Sorry.

I stayed here with my niece for two nights in early December. It was a lovely place! The room, while tired was comfortable and very welcoming. I had my own bathroom with endless hot water. There was a comfy couch and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was substantial and quite tasty. The best part was that it was centrally located. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. The best judge of a place is if you’d go back. I would. Affordable and comfortable. Nice people who run it as well.

Absolutely beautiful stay at Solhiem, staff incredibly friendly and supportive, and the location is excellent, only a few minutes walk to everything in Lerwick. The room is spacious and clean, and the view is terrific. Parking was good, and our week in Shetland Islands using the Solheim as a base was brilliant.

The weather might have been changable but it was a warm welcome from Caroline, and team plus good breakfast great location for Da Street (20 min walk from ferry) daily weather predictions and local info, fab little B&B and the cute kettle and beverage unit in the room highly recommend.

Molto discreto , ottima posizione, titolari simpaticissime, colazione abbondante. Peccato per la mancanza di un ascensore, scale ripide e strette, si fatica a salire al 2 piano. Lavandino del bagno microscopico ed in posizione impossibile da utilizzare, senza togliere la mensola in vetro superiore. Manca il bidet
