We had an enjoyable time. As I am disabled the staff went overboard to make me comfy. From bed to a seat they could not do enough for me. We will stay agin if we are in the area.

Very precious and cozy place to stay in Thurso! Close to everything, clean. Sandra was so sweet to us and made sure that we were comfortable in every way. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (Room 5 has a sky light and a private bathroom!)

Sandra & co are probably the most helpful and relaxed people you'll meet in your travels. They were a huge help. The outside door to the hostel doesn't really shut but then Thurso is a small town so it's not such a big worry. Big kitchen, complimentary light breakfast, right by all bus stops and in front of a taxi rank. And try the chips downstairs! Delicious!

I only stayed the night on route to the Orkney's. The hostel was prefect for this but I would have been happy to stay there longer.

Good, friendly staff, annoying it was two single beds pushed together and not a real double like we thought and paid for. Amazing showers!!! Recommend it as its a lovely destination and good service and great price.

Great little hostel. When we arrived the chippie exterior is a bit offputting but as soon as you get inside the door, the staff are really friendly and welcoming, and the kitchen and bedrooms are immaculate.   Read Owner Comments
