In the city centre of Thurso. There was a little mixup with my booking that I did online but the manager quickly rectified it and booked me in at another B&B free of charge, which was great. Stayed there the second night and the hostel is really well kept. Free breakfast and internet.

Great kitchen/dinning room. Looked way better from the inside than the first impression.

We're a "mature couple" cycling John O'Groats to Lands End and this hostel was just as suitable for us as more "normal" backpackers. The owner was very friendly and helpful, kitchen clean and well equiped with free tea, coffee and breakfast, and free Internet access. Friendly atmosphere with other residents of all ages. A nice start to our trip.

I loved the kitchen/lounge, spent there most of my evenings. Internet was free, big +. The hostel is nice, though the profile on hostelbookers is quite incorrect.

The kitchen /dinning room was well supplied and not locked up at night so could be used early in the morning as needed, and breakfast was available.

Right value for money. Secure (...quite secire, at least) parking for bicicles and motorbikes, that is very important for every owner.

The kitchen/communal area was friendly, clean and tidy, although perhaps a sofa would be really good for watching the TV or DVDs, rather than just chairs. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the hostel was ideally located for seeing all of Thurso, and for being close to the train station and bus stops.
