Royal Hotel  

Old tired place, bar didn't open till 5pm. Tv reception and position was awful and no black pudding at breakfast. The excuse was it hadn't been delivered yet. Well the day before is the time to get it even if it comes from the local butcher 100 yds. Away from the hotel. The evening menu was upnspiring-we ate out. Thank God for The Bistro, definately the 'jewel in the crown' as far as Thurso was comcerned.

Place and architectonical style (typical Scotish)

Some parts of the hotel were painted during my stay. The heating spiral in the kettle in the room was strongly corroded.

Excellent price ans friendly staff.

Very noisy at the front on Saturday night and quite a bit of decoration etc going on. Surprised how noisy people and cars late evening early morning. A back room may have been quieter.

It was convenient for a stop-over as I had travelled by train from Derby and arrived late in the evening and needed to catch the ferry to Orkney the following morning. My room was clean and comfortable and warm. I was too late getting up to have the breakfast, which was a pity, but it did mean I had slept well ! I would certainly stay there again.

Central, Good Value for what I paid.

Bedroom needed redecorating, Breakfast basic.

Decor may have been a little shabby, but the staff more than made up for it with their friendly, welcoming manner. They really could not have been more helpful. A few problems in my room on arrival were addressed and sorted within the hour. Breakfast was fine and bar meals were reasonably priced and very nice. Location right on the main street was perfect and parking in the evening was no problem. Rooms were warm and beds comfortable. Overall I don't know what more anyone could want from a hotel, particularly at the price offered. I will certainly stay there again next time I am in Thurso.

Central location, Friendly staff

Tired looking interior - needs an update

Easilly found, car parking facility, staff very helpfull and friendlly. Room comfortable. We got our room for £50 approx which was fine but I believe the rate is usually £85 which would have been a bit pricey for the standard.

I have no complaints to make, perhaps a bit of upgrading, painting etc

Easy to find ...friendly....value for money

I was collecting a cyclist from John o Groats. The geographical location was good for me. My bar meal in the evening was very good, quickly served, well presented and tasted good. A reasonable breakfast, could have had more items. I payed 30 pounds as I booked through the internet, I do not think it would be good value if I had paid the standard charge of 50 pounds.

My room was very small. The television was very old, the colour was very poor and the handset struggled to work so I had to operate it from the front of the tv set. It would have been good to have a couple more 13 amp sockets to charge phones and laptopp

Location- is in centre of town

Hotel did not live up to expectation - full of workmen staying there, is in desperate need of a make over as dirty and very dated. Would not stay there.

Good sky in bar

Would not open bar to watch the World rugby at 8am for guests
