It’s just that the room needs a-bit more of maintenance in terms of the sink, some loose tiles. Other than that. It was great! ##### Muhammad Syafiq Bin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Lukasz 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Good stay The room was large and spacious. Day view of the seaview room is pleasant. I found the standing shower area to be too small and the shower area also looked like ut needs some deep cleaning. Overall comfortable stay but I wished the bathroom was more sparkling clean. ##### Lukasz Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mun-Kein 8 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is actually very nice, clean and 4-5 star rating, if not for the slow check in front desk service staff. Sad as the rest of the staff such as housekeeping, security and engineering are really prompt and up to secret. For the price, ambience and comfort, well worth a repeat stay. ##### Mun-Kein Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Samsiah 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The management of Thistle Hotel should do some repair works like toilet door (which hardly to close) and cupboard with loose doors. But the plus point about Thistle Hotel is it has good staff, very polite and helpful. This is my personal opinion. ##### Samsiah Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shailesh 20 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Very Good stay ##### Shailesh Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Azmi 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good enviroment easy accessable ##### Azmi Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Md Shafiullah Bhuiyan 4 Oct 2024 I am very happy for this hotel ##### Md Shafiullah Bhuiyan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bin Omar 29 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Big pool for water recreation and excellent breakfast ##### Bin Omar Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### T S Tengku 22 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Good location ##### T S Tengku Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### CONSTANCE 1 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Good property for a family.
