The hotel was of very basic standard. Some tripadvisors claim it's dirty and not very well taken care of - well, on our behalf that was partly true; no, not everything was "perfect" - but everything worked and it was not dirty or anything. Definitely price/quality though, we got the rooms fairly cheap and was worth it. The double bed... More

I had a lovely, 2 night stay and was pleasantly surprised by the room. I got a really good deal with the price and certainly got more than my money's worth. The room was a decent size considering everything in it. Comfy bed, gorgeous shower, massive t.v. - all recently updated I think. Basically I had everything I could need... More

we recived a voucher as a present from a friend for 2 nights with breakfast and one night dinner, as we were confused how the voucher worked we asked the lady at reception, who looked at us as though we were mad and said "well I dont know... I just take the voucher". eventually we understood what we were to... More

My husband and I spent 2 nights just a cheap deal to get away and relax. Having read a lot of the reviews i didn't know what to expect but for what it cost us I paid my money and took my chances! I was very pleasantly surprised it was not disgusting or filthy a few things could have been... More

Almost two hours for 2 courses to arrive at table is ridiculous, yet that's how long my wife and I waited for service at our evening meal. The food was fine, but the links between the kitchen and the waitresses were hopeless... we weren't the only ones to suffer. Earlier Trip Advisor posts have mentioned this issue, but we had... More

Stayed here with colleagues while on a business trip. The hotel is a bit gloomy from the outside and some large pot-holes in the carpark - not at all inviting but inside the foyer it's was nice enough. Very efficient lady on the desk when we arrived. The room was small and had, I think, been partly refurbished. The carpet... More

We did get the refurbished rooms and they were fine, if small. Nothing could prepare me for the shock of the state of the outside of the building. It could not have been painted for 10 years, why? I declined the £20 breakfast but needed to eat at lunch time, the restuarant was closed? I was told I could get... More

We had to be moved rooms five times before we received a room that was passable with regards to cleanliness. Filthy uncleaned/unhoovered carpets, walls, dusty, hairs all over bath, bathroom floor and bedding and toilet pan utterly disgusting full of urine and other stains, stay from hell we would have just left if it hadn't of been so late at...

The hotel itself is nothing outstanding. The reception staff couldn't care less. The drinks were way overpriced at over £8 for a glass of wine, almost choked me!!! However the breakfast waitresses were delightful, friendly and clearly not appreciated enough. Overall, "Thistle Hotel - poor show I'm afraid!" More
