"Thistle The Kingsley"
A most enjoyable stay from start to finish. A warm welcome on arrival. A very nice room with good sound proofing considering the busyness outside. It was my wife`s birthday, when we returned from our trip to the theatre there was a lovely desert and chocolates plus a hand written card. These little touches make all the difference and make you feel good. A very nice breakfast with a good assortment available with happy and pleasant staff. Thank you Thistle for a great stay.

"Very disappointing"
Our room was almost a converted basement cupboard. It had barely any natural light,( our outlook was a brick wall Our room was little more than a basement cupboard! It had very little natural light, ( our outlook was a concrete wall with industrial machinery approx 1 metre away). It was unbearably hot even with the air conditioning and also very noisy with the sound of running water rushing through the pipe work whenever anyone in adjoining rooms used the toilet/ shower. The corridors were not cleaned during the 3 days we were there. On one day 2 trays of left over food laid in the corridor when we left in the morning and were still there when we returned in the evening. We would certainly not recommend the hotel based on our experience, it marred what was meant to be a treat.

"Patience is a virtue..."
The Thistle is let down by not enough reception staff, and those few that there are are poorly trained. Over an hour to check in because my booking could not be found was disappointing.. The fact that then 3 times in a row we were given a non functioning room key added to my chagrin. Avoid rooms on the front, as you will be kept awake until 3am by noise. Having said that, the cleanliness could not be faulted.
