We stayed at the Thistle, JB, for three months, November, December, 2011 and January 2012. From the first day, the service was great, the staff was very accomodating and friendly. We took advantage of the executive lounge for a very reasonable rate. This was well worht it. We particularly liked the Oasis restaurant by the pool, which served Japanese/Italian cuisine.... More

Convenient location very near the Woodlands checkpoint, less than 10 minutes by car. The room we had was reasonable in size and price (paid about RM190 per nite) but would needed a bit of a touch up. The kids enjoyed the pool area. The staff did try their best to look to our needs (eg they will call back to... More

The location is splendid overlooking the straits of johor and very near to the causeway for those who plan to have a day trip to singapore. Nearby to all the major shopping centres.if you are looking for a more authentic local delicacy(cheaper), there are a few eateries that start after 7 daily next to the soccer field....but the staff at...

While on business a large group of us stayed at the Thistle Hotel. Depending on the travel schedule we had as few as 3 and as many as 13 staying at the hotel staying between 60 and 120 days. We were greeted by friendly and professional staff. The rooms were clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable and gave us... More

The curtains did not close properly either. The furnishing were getting old, the bathroom was fresh but really needed a renovation rather than... More

The room was big but the air con was very weak. It was a warm night for us ! I think Thistle is the only 5* hotel in Jb.. But, the breakfast was totally 1*. Nasi lemak with no sambal. Cold porridge. Very little variety. Best of all, soot in my eggs. I was contemplating if i wish to make... More

We stayed here for one night recently. This was our 3rd visit to the Hotel. Overall, I have been pleased with all my stays. The rooms are fairly clean, although it was not thoroughly cleaned during my second visit last year. They were fully booked and were trying to get our room ready. Other than that incident I do believe... More

Stayed a couple of nights in this hotel and can say on the first impression it seems rather ok and had good features with a nice pool and view towards the Straits waters. But then something striked on us in the form of food poisoning from the hotel food. We had been busy all the days and therefore no time... More

I love Thistle!definitely will come back every year! p/s: if you bring your toddler, please request for a cot because the bed is too high for them. More
