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
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay in Thurso

Always a good stay at the Pentland, always sleep well and the food is good especially the buffet breakfast, staff are friendly and can’t do enough for you. Dropped a mark only because the bathroom door handle was hanging off which made opening and closing the door difficult but didn’t complain about it but otherwise just perfect, right down to the shortbread treat for tea and coffee. Too many places now don’t provide a biscuit, it’s the small things that matter. Having a wee treat with a cuppa after travelling all day goes a long way, well done guys.
Bill, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Quiet, clean, warm , comfortable room and excellent breakfast.
Alison, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend The Pentland Hotel may be dog friendly, but that’s about the only positive. The carpets reeked of dog and the whole place felt old, tired, and unclean. The building is run down and gave the impression of being dirty – I couldn’t wait to leave. Food was just average, nothing special, and breakfast was “help yourself” with everything looking greasy and deep-fried. For the price, I expected much better. This hotel seriously needs investment and attention to cleanliness. Definitely not somewhere I’d stay again.
ALYSON, 1-night trip

I enjoyed my stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was decent. The room was clean and the bed was a decent size for a single. Nice towels too. Would definitely stay again.

Jonathan, 2-night trip

The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel needs updating though. Beds were horrible and shower had no water pressure. Only positive besides the staff were the large towels.

Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Got a nice quiet room, very comfortable, staff were great as usual, bar food is good too, bit chaotic with 2 whole bus tours turning up for breakfast on the last morning at the same time but the staff sorted me out admirably.
Gary, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

I really like staying at The Pentland, ok it’s a bit old and draughty, it could probably do with a bit of tlc but it’s full of character and the staff are top class, super convenient for work too. If I’m staying in Thurso and they’ve got room then I’m staying there :-)
