Great place to stay. Helpful staff and great options to eat at the restaurant.
Stayed, two adults, two kids. Room was slightly updated from the pictures- two beds vs the picture showed bunk beds. Overall nice, black out curtains, room enough for all our bags. Breakfast included was tasty and perfect. Would def stay again.

Central Thurso stop over
Central hotel in Thurso. Nice enough for an overnight stay. Hotel and Room slightly old fashioned but comfortable enough. No lift and we were up on the 2nd floor and a walk away from the stairs. Good exercise carrying bags up and down
Great breakfast with wonderful service! Dinner in a separate restaurant onsite was close to the worst food we've had in Scotland with the slowest service imaginable. Room was somewhat dirty with hair all over the bathroom (on the sink, tub, and floor). Property felt dated in a run down sort of way inside and out.

Good hotel with comfy bed, friendly and helpful staff as well as a good restaurant.
Rooms are a bit tired and I had a bit of an issue with my shower. But it's a good hotel for the money.
The members of staff were all friendly and efficient. We were particularly grateful to be able to leave our bags for a few hours after we checked out, so that we could do some sightseeing unencumbered
brief overnight stay en route home to Orkney. Arrived late but night porter was very friendly and helpful and had us checked-in quickly. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice and we were on our way in plenty of time for the ferry.

It was quiet. It had that old hotel feel but not quite as charming as we had hoped. Felt like needed some refurbishments. However, it was quiet and we felt safe. It was fine. A really lovely Indian restaurant about two blocks away.
