Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We can highly recommend The Pentland Hotel whilst staying in lovely Thurso.
The staff are exceptional, the beds are comfy and the cleanliness and food are outstanding.
We look forward to returning.
I requested a low floor since my wife uses a cane, but was put on 3rd floor. The bathroom had black mold in the tub/shower. There was no hot water in shower or in sink. The 3 of us could only do "sponge" baths. The food at breakfast was cold including the beans and eggs. Do not recommend staying here.
The hotel was tired, floor was not vacuumed, urine on the toilet seat. The linoleum in the bathroom was peeling, upholstery on chair was peeling off.

Must try harder
Staff are really very nice but the hotel is very sad and in poor shape, everything reeks of cheap, food is poor and restaurant is not at all managed. Room is tired and in need of a makeover, bathroom absolutely shocking and worse shower in the world. Breakfast is usually the high point for me but not here, everything from the cheapest supplier nothing was cooked correctly or had been kept warm for hours. Sorry Pentland an 80,s hotel is not for me.

Great place to stay. Helpful staff and great options to eat at the restaurant.
Loved bathroom. Big, spacious with 6 ft tub and separate shower. Not expected at this price point. Convenient electrical outlets with one by bed and two by the desk. Great lighting.
More attention to details in cleaning would have been nice. Not dirty, but the dusting and floors could have had a little more carefully.
Overall, enjoyed and would stay again.
The room was very well appointed, clean, spacious, quiet and cool (it was very warm during our stay). The staff was professional, pleasant and polite, making us feel very welcome. The one issue was the lack of a shower mat and the shower tray being too slippery, specially after you had soap everywhere.
