About Grand Hotel Lerwick
The Grand Hotel sits on Commercial Street at the heart of Lerwick's Old Town, in the middle of Shetland's capital and within a few minutes' walk of the harbour, the shops and the town's restaurants and bars. It is a straightforward, no-frills hotel rather than a boutique one, and its appeal lies in the combination of a genuinely central address with free parking, which is not always easy to come by in the older part of town.
Rooms are offered as single, double and triple options, described respectively as suited to solo travellers and business guests, couples wanting a comfortable, spacious room, and families needing the extra space. All rooms are en-suite, and the hotel operates year-round rather than seasonally, which matters in a town where some smaller guest houses scale back over winter.
The location puts Lerwick's Old Town lanes, the Shetland Museum, the Market Cross and the ferry terminal all within easy walking distance, and the hotel's position makes it a sensible, unfussy base for exploring both the town and, with a car, the rest of the mainland. It suits visitors who prioritise location and value over extensive facilities.

What guests say
I really enjoyed my stay here. The location was EXCEPTIONAL, you really couldn’t ask for better. Literally steps from most of the restaurants in town! Breakfast every morning was delicious. The building itself had a lot of charm, it’s an old Victorian hotel that’s kind of a maze and I felt like I was in a period movie or classic novel come to life haha. It’s not modern luxury but more quirky which I appreciate. Even though there was a busy bar and nightclub my room was always quiet. They also took care of my bags for me. The only complaint I have is my mattress was a little stiff. But overall I would stay there again!

The rooms are okay for the price and location. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really good. Cooked fresh not sat at the counter the whole morning. Hospitality was top notch 👌
