People who stayed in that hostel and I called it the horror hostel. Seriously, I've been to a LOT of hostels but that was by far the worst. Strains of grease on the sheets, hair and crumbs on "clean" sheets, when you flush the toilet the whole house is shaking and making noise, after 2 nights my body itched like hell and the lock of the door wouldn't work. the kitchen was clean thanks to a woman who stayed there for a longer time. it took her a whole evening to clean the kitchend and cupboards..

Youth Hostel cheap but confortable and clean. Kitchen fully equipped (fridges / toasters / kettles / TV / wi-fi) Beds are confortable and the landlord is very nice. Lot of take away in the street. Just a pity for the reception in the fish & chips behind the hostel.

Room is terrible as it is extremely very dirty and the bed is dusty, you can even find bread crumbs on the bed. They may not change the bed sheet cover at all. The toilet is dirty too, even the toilet roll is dirty as there are blood stain on it. Would not recommend this hostel to my friends as it would spoil the image of Thurso.

The bedding was substandard - the duvet cover was torn, the sheet was dirty, the TV and DVD did not work. The laundry had dirty laundry on the floor and cascading out of the machine and discarded empty soap packets on the floor. The main bathroom had no toilet paper or handtowels and the kitchen was very old with many stains on the chair upholstery. I would not recommend anyone to stay here.
