Kind of an odd place! Built on top of a Fish and Chips shop where you check it is a small little hostel near the town centre. The young lad behind the counter knows all the best pubs... good thing as there is not much to do at the hostel except sleep. Our room was clean and ensuited and good value. A simple breakfast is provided too.

Safe, clean, friendly, free computer with internet. And if you need a history lesson on scotland, they have Braveheart and many other movies to watch. Good place to go. Walk the shore, castles and a beach nearby. GO HERE. it is a wonderful hostel.

OK guys.. at Thurso there's less than nothing but the city dopes not deserve such a hostel, Kitchen is more then dirty, Bathroom: a nightmare ensuite and common; There's no stuff, reception at the fish and chips downstairs, Not an hostel, better a dormitory in case oif emergency, avoid if you can
