A little untidy in the communal room but overall very nice. Free breakfast available including toast,jam,cereal and tea and coffee. 10% discount available from snack bar/take away downstairs which was good quality.

The stance in this hostel was a compleate nightmare. The common kitchen-launge was very dusty and untidy, so we did not want to have the included breakfast because of the dirtiness in the fridges. Despite having an ensuite room, it was not as great as expected at all because the matresses and bedline were not very hygienic. In the middle of the night one of us had to change of bed because of suspected bugs. Before leaving we wanted to complain but unfortunately nobody was in the shop-reception

If you're in Thurso, this is the place to be. Great communal area/kitchen, clean and tidy dorms with en-suite facilities . The chip shop downstairs is rubbish, go to the one across the road if you can, that's the one used by the locals and for good reason.
