Accommodation

Accommodation has been arranged at the following providers.  Accommodation in Shetland, and Lerwick in particular, is limited and we would ask you to consider sharing where at all possible.

 

Queens Hotel (27 rooms) and the Grand Hotel (24 rooms)(www.kgqhotels.co.uk) - £77.00 per night B&B for a single room or £102.50 per night B&B for a double/twin room.  There are only a limited number of smoking rooms available and these cannot be guaranteed if requested at the time of booking as they will be allocated on a first come basis.

 

Please note that the Grand Hotel contains a nightclub and we would ask you to take this into consideration when you are making your accommodation choice.

 

Janet Courtney Hostel

sleeps 88- £54.00 per person, per night B&B in shared (twin, triple or quad room) non-smoking accommodation.  Please note that this is school hostel accommodation and there is a very strict no-smoking policy.  This means that residents cannot smoke either in the building or in the hostel’s grounds.  The school is closed during the Congress and delegates will have exclusive use of the Hostel.

 

Accommodation will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

You are, of course, welcome to source your own accommodation. 

If you choose to do this, we would recommend using either the search facility on www.shetland.orgfor this purpose or http://www.visitscotland.com/destinations-maps/shetland/.  Both sites are very useful for searching for information on Shetland, including accommodation.
