It was offseason when I went, so not too rowdy, but I can imagine it's a great place for a party during the season. The kitchen is massive and has tons of stuff to cook your own meal - the lounge is connected so a good place to drink with some mates. The owner is super nice as well! I would definitely stay here again if I ever got the opportunity. Thanks team! ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 21, 2019 Liked: Staff & service the hostel is quite dated the room was cold and wet but the boss was very kind and helping ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fiona Sep 9, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Does for a night or 2 but needs a good clean They had overbooked the rooms somthere was a bit of panic at first. Room was adequate for what we paid but wouldn’t do any harm to have a proper clean, especially a bit of vacuuming. Free breakfast was a surprise and a nice bonus but could do with someone checking the items as bread was mouldy and butter looked horrible. But there was plenty extra so I just opened a new one. I know some would say you get what you pay for but I’ve stayed in plenty of hostels and paid less and it’s been cleaner. Does for a couple of nights if you’re not that fussy and just looking for somewhere dry. ##### Fiona Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### C.

Er wsr zwar relativ schnell da, aber nicht gerade freundlich. Nachdem er im Schnelldurchlauf alles gezeigt hat, verschwand er sofort wieder. Auf Nachfragen reagierte er schnippisch. Handtücher gab es nur auf Nachfrage. Da er aber sxhneller weg war als man schauen konnte, hatten wir folgloch keine... Die Unterkunft war zweckmässig und vom preis leistungs Verhältnis sehr gut. Allerdings war es unglaublich heiß und stickig im zimmer. Die Un ##### C.

All areas seemed pretty clean, nice kitchen with utensils to use. To improve, maybe bigger beds as they are a little small for two persons. The room is turned to the main street, and you may wake up in the middle of the night with road traffic noise, specially in the summer, when you leave your window open. ##### Hugo Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 3, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### avoid this hostel I travelled up and it was so dirty and noisy I did not stay absolutely awful and should be avoided ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathan, San Diego May 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, easy check-in, easy to park in nearby streets. ##### Nathan Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Has everything that you can expect for the price.

It's decent for a hostel. Our room was not the double we had reserved, but James offered a refund and to connect us with a local B & B but we decided to stay at the hostel. They offer self serve breakfast cereals in the kitchen, the shower was hot, the WiFi worked and the sheets were clean. ##### Denise Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 8, 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### Location and parking are great.

Owners very helpful. Not wit breakfast but nearly everything you need is there to make a breakfast. Roomst small but practical ##### Elvar Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matt Jun 16, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Decent stopover on the NC500. Thurso is a town you can probably skip, but there aren't a lot of other options for larger settlements on the north coast section of the NC500, and it does seem the most populated. It may be the only one with Chinese takeout open until 11:30pm at least, and with a pub open after midnight. Sandra's itself is fine, nothing to write home about. They accommodated my late arrival with minimal griping and the place itself was ok. There is street noise all night and hallway noise from the flooring whenever someone walks by, which, if you're staying in one of the single rooms, is frequent because you're near the kitchen. WiFi didn't work in the room. Good budget option if you're passing through. ##### Matt Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Course Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Andrews-Hotels-Old-Course-Hotel.h522846.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Atholl Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-Atholl-Palace-Hotel.h63637.Hotel-Information) > > [Perle Oban Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Perle-Oban-Hotel-Spa.h993007.Hotel-Information) > > [The Garrison](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Garrison.h24101351.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kinross-Hotels-The-Green-Hotel-Golf-Leisure-Resort.h1130671.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Uig Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portree-Hotels-Uig-Hotel.h2261957.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Hamilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Hamilton.h3924670.Hotel-Information)
