“Don't believe other bad reviews..!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Stayed here for 1 nyt, me and my girlfriend just as a wee trip away. We werent sure what to expect because of other reviews. The hotel is not much to look at from the outside but inside its really nice. Our room was fantastic and spotless. We stayed in room 158. We paid £22.50 for our room through ebookers. 4 star u can't Beat that.

“Great Place to stay when flying”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Close to airport, good rooms and great breakfast. Parking for reasonable price while away.

Room Tip: Weekends are reasonably priced, mid week is too expensive.

“In need of renovation and so very overpriced.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

Cheapest room for a midweek night stay was £164 + about £40 for dinner. Missed breakfast - that was provided at the meeting venue. The meeting organisers moved the meeting out of this hotel (to the AECC) due to the poor internet service and high meeting room prices. Sadly my room was committed. Room was possibly last renovated in the 1980s. Nothing worked well. Too warm - no air con. Even when paid for the internet service was unuseable. APart from location this is a very poor hotel. I won't use again.

Room Tip: Rooms across the road in the Speedbird are better.

“No Free WiFi.... for guests Grrrrr”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

Got stuck here due to a cancelled flight and was told again I had to pay for WiFi at the front desk. This has got to be looked at by all Thistle hotels. I was trying to change my flights, contact family, and this proved quite difficult. I ended up walking across the street to the Speedbird where I have stayed before and yes they offer free WiFi. That is the only complaint I have and I will have to say the room was nice and spacious. Bar staff was friendly and accommodating and food was good and breakfast was also very good.

“More than satisfactory!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

After reading negative reviews, I was apprehensive about spending the night here. However, from our arrival to departure we were very happy. Friendly and helpful reception staff, who also upgraded us, and the restaurant and bar staff borges in the evening and at breakfast were charming. The snack food was good - nothing to complain about - and evening meal served v nice food. You don't go expecting 5* levels - its great for what it is. New carpets, rooms spotless. What else do you need? All in all - very pleasant stopover.
