I get it, we are all trying to save a dollar, a pound or two. So you get what you pay.
40 sterling pounds or $66.90 usd rents 2 keys for room1, a bunkbed with private shower/toilet with free self-serve cold contenintal breakfast (cereal/milk/toast/tea/instant coffee). If you are traveling alone and female, this might be a good choice for you....there will always be a chance of encoutering questionable characters leasing rooms in places like this backpacker facility.
Followed the sign on the side of the two-story building directed all guests to check in with the cashier/cook at the Sandra's fish n chips. James told us the policies and check out time is 1030am. Let me tell you the fish n chips joint needs a through de-greasing/cleaning no matter how busy it gets at the backpacker. And that set the tone for the entire night, that the entire backpacker place is dirty and cluttered.
There is no elevator and there are only stairs to get to the second/third floor.
There is a Tesco in town so we bought food and then cooked dinner /breakfast in the kitchen. After we cleaned up after ourselves found that young people would use the tea service but leave plates and cups near the sink so that others can wash it (although its clearly stated to clean after yourself). It was noisy with people laughing and loud with doors slamming as people left to go outside if you are staying in room 1.
Upon arrival after a 6 hour drive from Isle of Skye to Thurso...there is nothing like a clean bed and warm cup of tea to re-charge the body...I got that but in a bohemian way. James is very smart/informative and his wife is nice, but I will avoid this place and stay elsewhere as it is not for me. read more
