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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mazidah 12 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities You have very good staffs. Thank you ##### Mazidah Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sazali 11 Jan 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Supposedly a good hotel but poorly maintained. The toilet door is a sliding type. The bottom rail was not secured, thus the door can be dislodged if push hard causing a safety issue. The bath tub doubled as shower area but without shower curtain although there was a curtain railing. This causes the whole toilet wet and slippery after everytime we shower. Shower gel and shampoo need to be requested. ##### Sazali Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Khairul Shah Bin 27 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Despite being the reputable, the restaurant furniture are horrible and worst than outside cafes. Using masking tape to cover up broken woods of the dining table? And the breakfast area have to climb 2 sets of stairs, whereas the passenger lift is down? ##### Khairul Shah Bin ### 2/10 Terrible #### Glen 26 Dec 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Breakfast was horrible.

Some furnishing like the marble TV table top is cracked & chipped, this reduced the overall feel of the unit and may cause accidental cuts to hands. 2. There are 2 TVs but only 1 cable, and the channels reception is very poor. 3. A large breakfast area was exposed to direct sunlight, shades should be installed to provide comfort to guests. ##### Daryl Keen Hoong Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Watson 10 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ～ ##### Watson Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Saundersfoot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saundersfoot-Hotels.d182884.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Haiti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Haiti-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d75-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aparthotels Mauritius](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mauritius-Apart-Hotels.d115-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Girona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Girona-Hotels.d1379.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Jardin Des Plantes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Jardin-Des-Plantes.h119448.Hotel-Information) > > [LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johor-Bahru-Hotels-LEGOLAND-Malaysia-Resort.h6589337.Hotel-Information) > > [Sugar Beach Mauritius](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Flic-En-Flac-Hotels-Sugar-Beach-Mauritius.h1166543.Hotel-Information) > > [Dormio Resort Les Portes du Mont Blanc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vallorcine-Hotels-Dormio-Resort-Les-Portes-Du-Mont-Blanc.h3619344.Hotel-Information) > > [Maxeria Blue Didyma Hotel - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Didim-Hotels-Maxeria-Blue-Didiyma-Hotel.h48245071.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Curve Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Curve-Theatre-Hotels.0-l6140292-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [remm plus Ginza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Remm-Plus-Ginza.h37326014.Hotel-Information) > > [Port Vista Oro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-Port-Vista-Oro-Hotel.h2210598.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan/Times Square South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-New-York-ManhattanTimes-Square-South.h30674300.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Barbados-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d16-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Pillo Hotel & Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-Pillo-Hotel-Ashbourne.h1654474.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Kraków (KRK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/krk/london-to-krakow) > > [Flights from Exeter (EXT) to Vilobi d'Onyar (GRO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ext/gro/exeter-to-girona) > > [Flights from Luton (LTN) to Heraklion (HER)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ltn/her/london-to-heraklion) > > [Flights from Austin (AUS) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/aus/sfo/austin-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Lusaka (LUN) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lun/man/lusaka-to-manchester) > > [Flights from North Syracuse (SYR) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/syr/lhr/syracuse-to-london) > > [Flights from Christchurch (BOH) to Bouguenais (NTE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/boh/nte/bournemouth-to-nantes) ### Cars > [Car hire in Madurai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Madurai.d1658.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Italy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Italy.d86.Car-Hire-Destinations) ### Activities > [Things to do in Vik I Myrdal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Vik-I-Myrdal.d6130429.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Hunstanton Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hunstanton.d181025.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Apollo Theater](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apollo-Theater-Manhattan.d6064555.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Bloubergstrand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Bloubergstrand.dx601067)
