Guest Reviews
- Caroline (8/5): Great stay in great location - Would have like a room as per picture but was great for one nights stay and a lovely warm room. We had an issue but it was very quickly resolved on New Years Eve too!
- Mariola (10/5): - The apartment has amazing view to the beach and a great location. It was very warm when we entered the room. The apartment was well equipped with plates, cutlery, coffee machine, kettle, under-counter fridge and microwave which we found very useful. The table was to low for us to eat from it. There was so damage in the bathroom (walls and next to the sink). We were unable to use the balcony due to the bad weather and the windows with the view to the beach cannot be opened due to the weather conditions.
- Beth (9/5): Great location, warm, clean and friendly - didn't want to leave. - We were there to go surfing and the location could not have been better! We were in the family rooms and they were great for our purpose with lots of space. The beds were comfy and rooms were warm, smart tv that you can connect to for streaming, and the kettle and microwave were great for heating up some food for lunch. The staff were super friendly and the accomodation was dog friendly. I'm aware there are plans in the works for a room with a kitchenette - that would be perfect! The only missing thing would be somewhere to hang wetsuits in the bathroom but that's a niche request.
- Chirsteen (4/5): -
- Kerry (10/5): Great place to stay. Spacious room right in the middle of the town. - Large room, modern and clean. Well equipped. No view like in the photo.
- Peter (10/5): -
- Angela (10/5): Beautiful sea view apartment - The view was amazing and the microwave and fridge were a useful feature
- Natalie (8/5): Great. - Lovely view of the sea from the window. Very convenient location with parking. I thought there were too many comms. Not sure if that was a Booking.com thing as don’t usually use the company. Also, we didn’t get our final joining instructions until the arrival day which felt odd (with so many other comms flying around) and caused me stress. If one of the comms had said when would receive final details, I would not have worried.
- Sofia (9/5): Óptima estadia - Óptima localização, zona muito tranquila e a minutos a pé do centro da cidade. Edifício e quarto renovados recentemente. Excelente escolha da decoração. Casa de banho espaçosa e muito bonita. Apesar do quarto ter vista para o páteo/parque de estacionamento é muito tranquilo. Muito útil a disponibilidade de microondas, máquina de café e frigorífico. Equipa da manhã muito simpática e prestável. Tudo de acordo com as nossas necessidades.
- Administrator (8/5): -
- Meghan (8/5): -
- Dyce (8/5): Value for money - Good value for money. Very clean. Close to beach and easy walk to the centre. Bed was a little soft.
- Guy (8/5): -
- Stuart (7/5): ideal for the reason for the visit - None applicable Shower took quite a while to warm up
- Willem (4/5): Als je het leuk vind om in een grot te slapen, is dit the place to be. - De locatie is prima, praktisch in het centrum. Ruime badkamer met goede douche. Alles is netjes en schoon. Uitstekende WiFi. De kamer heeft 1 klein raampje en kijkt uit op de binnenplaats. Je voelt je erg opgesloten. Het geheel is gedateerd en kan een renovatie gebruiken. Geen enkele info over wat er in de directe omgeving te doen is. Er zijn messen, glazen en kopjes e.d. maar geen borden?
- Christine (1/5): We were double booked. Someone else was already there We had to find alternative accommodation - We were double booked.

- Brian (8/5): - No kitchen facilities
- Francisca Tellería (10/5): - Tuve que extender mi estadía por dos noches, debido a la tormenta de nieve que canceló los trenes y buses. Cuando reservé dos noches más, tanto la dueña como el personal me ayudaron a coordinar todo y me dejaron en la misma habitación, para evitarme problemas, fueron super amables y consideradas. Totalmente recomendable el lugar, no solo por las instalaciones, si no también por la calidez humana con la que te tratan. Se esfuerzan 100% en hacer de tu estadía lo mejor posible.
- Francisca Tellería (10/5): - Uno de los mejores lugares en que me he alojado! Excelente habitación con todo lo necesario para estancias largas o cortas, frigobar con botellas de agua que reponen todos los días, lo mismo con el café o té, reponen o puedes pedir todos los días. El personal es uno de los más amables que he conocido, 1000/10! Queda justo frente a la playa y a unos minutos caminando del centro, así que tienes acceso fácil a todo, tiendas, supermercado, restaurantes, etc. Totalmente recomendado!
- Martha I. (9/5): I really recommend it! - The room was really comfortable, with all amenities you need, even cutlery and plates, and a microwave oven. The staff is very kind!
- Walker (8/5): - Warm and reasonably comfortable. Staff very helpful. Difficult to find and key box very hard to open.
- Joshua (6/5): -
- Poppy (10/5): Really would recommend! - Owner was so lovely and friendly. We had everything we needed!
- Edyta (10/5): -
- Willows (9/5): It was lovely - everything you need, nothing you don’t. Nice and simple. Affordable, clean and comfortable space - Very clean and tidy, comfortable, and very easy check in process. Great value for money! Nothing!
- Gillian (9/5): -
- Tito (10/5): Enjoyed it so much I stayed an extra 3 nights! Surfs up in Thurso and Marine room is right there! - The quality and location
- Nichole (9/5): Ocean waves - Lovely room with an amazing view and the shower was particularly great. Confusion with the check in a room changes. Not a big deal but the host was unreachable via WhatsApp only booking.com so it worked out fine in the end.
- Kiriakos (10/5): - We adored everything in Marine Rooms. We stayed for 3 days and spent Xmas there, which was very comfortable and cozy. Our host Pamela was an absolute pleasure and she assisted us in every possible way. Room 1 was very big , with views to the beach and very warm. There were facilities for tea/coffee and a microwave as well. Bed was super big and mattress was soft as for the shower, everything was impeccable!Everything was within a walking distance from the center and we would love to spend more time there… till next time!
- Luke (10/5): Fantastic stay, excellent staff, pristine and comfortable rooms, we will definitely be coming back. - Great location, easy to access with parking Broken blinds and curtains, which made closing up harder, but nothing you can’t get around
- Ross (10/5): -
- Christopher (9/5): - Lovely property with very tentative and responsive owners. Thank you for the stay on such short notice. I will keep this place in mind for future work I will have over th coming year.
- Duncan (9/5): One Nighter in Thurso - Clean, comfortable and warm with plenty of room and parking
- Joanne (9/5): -
- B (10/5): -
- Jack (9/5): - Easy self check-in, quiet, comfortable, warm, clean, modern, good wifi, and reasonably priced
Bonus to find a fridge, microwave and coffee machine in the room, with plenty of tea/coffee/sugar/milk sachets Very minor things being that the shower did not drain very well, and it could do with re-grouting. But good water temperature and flow
- Stephen (9/5): - Room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities you needed. The shower wasn't the most powerful but the heat was fine.
- James (9/5): Spacious well equipped accommodation - Great location and views over the bay to Orkney . Good facilities and spacious accommodation. lock boxes not very clearly marked and difficult to see in the dark.
- ClokeyClan (8/5): First time visit to the area - three out of four seasons - Had everything we needed for our two nights
it was a lovely temperate no messing around with heaters, thermostats etc
Hot water on tap very quickly
Joining instructions were clear
Comfortable bed The stairs up with all our luggage
Little hanging space, clothes remained in luggage
- Ian (8/5): -
- Deeann (10/5): - Although it was self check in the staff I talked to on the phone were so helpful with any questions I had!
- Patterson (10/5): -
- Lynn (5/5): -
- Ulrik (6/5): -
- Jude (9/5): -
- Jakub (1/5): - Broken windows, no fixes, I wasted half a day of my holidays seeking a new hotel, and it still isn’t settled with this hotel to get a compensation.
But hey, they said « sorry »
- Simon (8/5): Very comfortable -
- Michael (10/5): - Great location for the ferry well appointed apartment warm and comfortable, secure parking right outside on the ground floor for our apartment No.3 Directions to the property are inadequate please add W3W location as ///twinkled.riots.hobbit to the property details. Didn't like the need to pay extra £10 for a 10am checkout it would be a bit more honest to set the rate to include a sensible departure time?
- Alice Abbate (9/5): -
- Timothy (8/5): Great to stay - great quality faculties - Fabulous owner- very versatile as came from Norway with difficult travel arrangements etc Nice locals
- Keith (10/5): -
- Selina (9/5): - Location and views were great. On-site parking was a bonus. Bed was a bit saggy.
- Mitchell (9/5): A proper stay fit for human habitation - Love how secure it was, I felt safe knowing only I and other customers could enter. Not much to complain about, it was clean and comfortable
- Mick (10/5): Lovely overnight stay in Thurso. - The property was very clean and the bed was so comfy. The lady we spoke to about dropping our bags before check-in time was lovely and helpful, (we’d got the train up to stay for one night and wanted to get the bus to John O’Groats - bus stop easily accessed from the property.)
The accommodation was an easy walk from the train station.
Thank you for a lovely stay. Nothing.
- joanna (10/5): It was lovelybstaybwoukd come agin - How beautiful Boness keeper Everything was great
- Donald (10/5): Top Marks, room with a view. - Location, facilities , cleanliness . Bathroom could to with a freshen up, but only a minor adjustment.
- Rachel (8/5): -
- Niels (8/5): - Location Shared bathroom, but we knew this.
- Carole (10/5): Great find - Great location and clean room . Will stay again. Nothing
- BRENDA (8/5): - Comfortable beds. Room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Well equipped with mini fridge, kettle, microwave, iron and crockery.
Lovely quiet area tucked away but very close to town centre. Parking right outside in a private courtyard Shared bathroom gave it a bit of a 'hostel' feeling but wasn't an issue
- JENNIFER (10/5): A lovely cosy and relaxing room after a long drive to the far North of Scotland in poor weather. - N/A THE ONLY small thing was it was dark when I arrived . It was hard to see/operate the lock box to get the key out because I was alone and couldn't hold a torch as well as open it.
- Laura (8/5): -
- John (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): - Superb location. Well-organised setup. Clean rooms. I would stay here again. Sharing the bathroom with other guests but it did not bother us that much other than one guest hogging the bath and taking their sweet time.
- Nika K (10/5): -
- Lee-Ann (5/5): This property is practical but very depressing two tiny windows looking out on a road. Comfortable - The room was clean well equipped large with a very comfy bed. Close to the beach When I arrived the room was so hot to open the windows and leave the room was not an option as they were level with the road. The sea view … more a pavement view. It was quite depressing. The room had been serviced but half bottle of water in the fridge so not sure if used before. No fire alarm or carbon monoxide alarm. But the worst was Everytime someone used a toilet in the block the pipes could be heard all night. So an awful night sleep. There were no plates, no wine glass.
- Nitish (9/5): -
- David (8/5): Exceptional value stopover on NC500 - Great central location & parking, seaviews, Friendly housekeeper. Water in fridge appreciated. Comfy bed.
Shared bathroom was immaculate Self-serviced apartments so do need to check your messages/emails for check in procedure code entry - works perfectly fine once you've got it.
Shared bathroom bit tricky with morning routines & 10am checkout- but they do have enough suite options available!
- Peter (10/5): - Stayed before in room 1, this time up in room 4 with the shared bathroom. I was abit dubious about sharing a bathroom but it was kept very clean and the shower was brilliant.
Lovley room, with microwave and fridge that came in handy. Excellent location in the town right next to the harbour. Got treated to the northern lights as well!! A stone's throw from the place is the pier that was nice and dark. Massive king bed that was super comfortable. Got a sneak peak at the new suite being built in the old breakfast room.....looks like it'll be a cracker, will definitely be back. Nothing
- Rita (8/5): Warm, well-appointed room with views of Orkney - On our arrival into the room, a beautiful warmth hit us. Most impressed with the heating system.
We loved the fact that 2 sides of the room was glass, so bright. Disappointed that our balcony overlooked parked cars and an old colourless courtyard.
Surprised, and not in a good way at the cheap BLACK curtains that were also lacking a number of curtain hooks. Looked scrappy and tacky.
- Ricofico (10/5): - Byliśmy tu pierwszy ale napewno nie ostatni raz. Przytulny pokój, łazienka z wanną. Przemiła obsługa. Tylko dwie minuty pieszo do plaży😁
- Helen (10/5): - Perfect, thank you
- LHS1 (9/5): A room with a view - Large room with nice beach views, great shower, comfortable parking
- WolFmx (9/5): -
- Stefanie (8/5): - Sehr schöne Lage mit Blick auf das Meer. Im Zimmer gab es einen kleinenKühlschrank und eine Mikrowelle, sowie Teller und Besteck inklusive einem süssen Gruss.
Das Badezimmer war gross und sauber.
- Maddy (10/5): Wonderful stay exceeded expectations - Luxurious beautiful view! Once inside the property a little arrow to find the room number would be helpful.
- Bill (9/5): - Room modern and clean
- Gerald (10/5): -
- Angie McMeekin (9/5): - That's nothing. Not to like the rooms are beautiful. The views are beautiful and the lady that caritas was so friendly. You got a nice little tea set up area. You got plates and forks etc. Got a fridge kettle coffee maker, TV loads of lighting. There was actually had compartment of plug sockets that was connected to a cabinet so you can put all your tech that needs charging up for your next journey and it was warm all night. I was not cold for one bit but it wasn't overly hot either. There was loads of pillows. Nice bedding curtains All matched elegantly There wasn't nothing to fault at this point
- Madalina (10/5): - Very nice place, very clean 👌 N/A
- David (9/5): Great location, well set up, good value - Great location for an overnight stay after getting off the ferry from Stromness. Comfy bed, good size, reasonable price. Having a fridge and microwave as well as crockery and cutlery is very convenient. The only bad part was the view from the window( we were spoiled by having beautiful views over the beach from room 1 last time we stayed) Nothing really. Great place that we would stay in again
- Tom (9/5): -
- Michele (8/5): Lovely apartment with amazing views. - Lovely comfortable bed and amazing views, loved waking up to the sound of the sea. Handy microwave, plates, bowls and cutlery. Nothing to dislike.
- Garoutte (9/5): Nice place. Good location. -
- Christine (10/5): - No breakfast Would have liked a sea view. Also because on ground floor people could look straight in while passing
- David (10/5): Lovely place, good value, would stay again - Very comfortable and well equipped
Nice bathroom
Great views over the beach External appearance looks unwelcoming but inside it is excellent
- Deborah (7/5): Disappointing- wrong picture for this room - Not what we expected- no sea view Dark and I thought the toilet was going to come off the wall
- Andrew (9/5): -
- Rosalie (9/5): -
- Mike (8/5): - Really easy access through the lock-box system. Bed was comfortable, and nice to have tea/coffee in the room. Bit awkward having a shared bathroom for several rooms. Also, that bathroom door was not labelled, which meant a bit of "trial and error" to open doors (they all looked the same)
- james (10/5): -
- Ryan (8/5): Lovely staff and a great beachside location - Clean and tidy property with fantastic views onto the beach and coast, you can also see Orkney
- Elayne (8/5): Loved it hopefully will be back - Clean and looked after A bit stuffy, couldn’t open window due to storm would have liked a better view
- Anthony (5/5): not what we expected - the room and batahroom was nicely furnished and equipped the listing misrepresents the facility, we thought we had booked a bright room with a large patio doors looking out to sea. The room was in a corner of the complex with one small window looking onto the car park and, as we dont like dark rooms, we wouldn't have booked it if we had realised. When we walked around the front of the property we could only see one room that had the large windows that feature frequently in the gallery above.
- Chris (8/5): Last minute inexpensive accommodation - The location from Booking.com was not accurate but we found it on Google maps. The bed was good. The bathroom was excellent and the room warmed quickly. The room was very small but we just needed it for one night.
- Karen (8/5): Comfortable one night stay - Easy check in and good facilities with free parkimg Poor view but for one night wasn't a big deal
- Sheryl (7/5): Good value room right on beach - Our room was spacious with a nice view down the beach. Close to walk around town. Comfortable beds. We had a shared bathroom between 2 rooms which was clean and handy. The bedroom door lock was very hard to open. The room had a musty smell and old carpet.
- Brenda (8/5): Spacious bright room with great view - We loved the view,closeness to beach and parking outside. Microwave was useful as weren't many places to eat. We found it a little hard to find. Numbers on doors or building be useful but perhaps not allowed.
- Armand (9/5): -
- Rebecca (9/5): - Room clean fabulous view. Loved it!!
Worth money shower great!! Lovely and quiet. Only critism bigger towels wil book again..thank you 😁
