I booked this in a hurry. I wanted a hotel in the part of the City and the location worked well for me. Bit of a surprise not able to have dinner in the hotel albeit I was offered a carry out service from local outlets to my room.

This hotel is great value. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a large screen TV. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The bathroom shower has good pressure and hot water. The hotel was in a quiet area. The only downside is the walk into town is a bit long but manageable. However we would definitely stay there... More

I am guilty for always referring to Trip advisor but never returning the advise. I stayed at Thistle with my boyfriend, was perfect. Had everything we needed, was reasonably priced. Room wasn’t HUGE but was more than enough space to be comfortable. What really makes a place is the people that work there and I can 100% recommend Thistle Staff.... More

The continental breakfast was substantial and very filling and was served by a nice young girl emma she was very attentive and could'nt do more to help. The bar was very quite but i think that could be changed by... More
