Reception staff are not friendly. They tried to give us a room without aircon. The room was stuffy and stale. We were moved to another room eventually. Shower had mold.

Room upgraded at Check-in which we were delighted about to then be told the aircon wasnt working in that room. They had put 3 fans in the room & said if we needed anymore to just ask. We were lucky it wasn’t a really hot day so with the fans the room was an acceptable temperature. Room was very modern, clean with all facilities & a great view! Breakfast was a standard hotel buffet with a good selection of hot & cold food. Must mention Lisa on reception who was friendly, helpful, professional & seemed to generally care about her guests - a credit to the Thistle team!

Great location
We had 2 rooms, request to stay on a higher floor with less noise (travelling with an autistic child) was granted, very thankful for this as our room was indeed quiet. Other room was a few doors away and also quiet. One room was very spacious and clean with no problems at all. One was quite dated and had a broken shower, we didn't let the hotel know until we were leaving to be fair as we just used the hand held. We had a plumbing issue one night which was resolved very quickly by maintenance, staff are lovely which goes a long way. The hotel is in a great location but could do with sprucing up a bit.

Don’t stay here
I checked in at 10am and no rooms were ready which was understandable.. but I was told I would be contacted when a room was ready and I never was. When we returned to the hotel at 9:30pm I got put in a room with no AC. When I called the front desk to be moved there were no other rooms left, but I was told I could be relocated the next day and get a 70% refund for that night so I agreed to not check out and find a different hotel. Now, I’ve had hotels.com contact the hotel about that refund and I’m being told that won’t be honored. So basically the manage lied and manipulated me so I wouldn’t leave the hotel and check out that night. Not to mention the next day I was moved to ANOTHER ROOM WITHOUT AC. And THREE HOURS LATER I finally got into a room with AC, making me late to my evening plans. Literally this was the worst stay I’ve ever had in a hotel.
