Not the fanciest hotel BUT great location and the room was large, clean, comfortable and priced right! Couldn’t ask for more. Parking easy. Dinner was great. Breakfast was wonderful - what a way to start the day exploring Shetland. Ate one night at Frankie’s fish seafood - it was great. Make sure to make reservation if you want to eat at restaurant otherwise it will be take a way. Staff at hotel were great. I would stay here again.

The hotel is very well situated for exploring the full area of the Shetland Islands.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable.
There is plenty of parking space and there is a fuel station next door and a very good fish and chip shop across the road, both of which are very useful.

I have stayed here many times in the past but it seems to have regressed.
Restaurant food was average at best and almost £400 for 2 nights in a tiny room is just scandalous. I most definitely won't book here again!

Stay in shetland

Seriously overpriced for our stay. Food terrible. Only ate in once. Best to go up the road for fish and chips. Continental breakfast was cereal and the occasional pastry. Presliced white and brown bread. No rolls. Fried breakfast okay. Location good for ferries from Toft.

It was our first time in Shetland and from the day we arrived the staff could not have done anything more for us they went over and above to help us with places to go things to see . We arrived 5 hours early and they still let us check in so we could catch up on some sleep, Scott and Curtis are just fantastic they also go over and above to help they so friendly and happy which was nice to see and the singing was not to bad either ,The hotel is located in a very central location as there is a Chinese five minutes up the road and a chippy two minutes walk down from the hotel and a coop at the bottom of the hill , that is of course if you don’t want to eat in the hotel as the food is just as good too. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

Great place in Shetland

The amenities were very good and useful. Even though it was a distance from Lerwick it was definitely the correct choice to stay.

2 nights in Brae

This is a nice wee hotel in Brae. My room on the ground floor had a somewhat more utilitarian feel to it than previous stays on the upper floor, however friendly staff and good food. Given hotel prices in Lerwick just now it represents value for money.

We enjoyed one dinner there and it was wonderful. I had the poached salmon and my spouse had steak pie, both delicious. The room was small but spotless, and the bed very comfortable.

The staff were friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make me feel valued as a guest. The food was great. The bed was comfortable. The rooms were done on a daily basis, and it was nice to come in to a clean. The room each day. The laundry services were excellent. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. The location is beautiful. There is a shop, a health center, a recreation center, and a couple of little restaurants; in addition to a convenience, store, and petrol station nearby. And it is a quick drive to the ferry over to yell, Unst, and Fetlar. As long as you have a car, it is very convenient. And not very far to the main town in Shetland, Lerwick. The views are spectacular and there is much to marvel lot there; Including seagull, Frank, the unofficial mascot of the Brae Hotel. All in all a great stay!

Best hotel on Shetland

We had an amazing stay at the Brae Hotel, which after staying in a few other places, I can say is the best hotel I’ve experienced within Shetland.

The room was really comfortable & clean offering great value of money. However the real stand out feature was every member of staff in the hotel and the warm welcome they provided
