Lerwick Youth Hostel Review

In the center of Lerwick, this lodging offers very affordable double-, family-, and group-size rooms (some with private bathrooms) with white-painted walls, pine furniture, and colorful curtains and bedding. The turn-of-the-20th-century house has pretty architectural features such as big windows, pine shutters, and handsome fireplaces. The Isleburgh House Community Centre next door has one of the best cafés in Lerwick, serving cheap, healthy meals using whole foods and fresh vegetables.
