Sriman, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The comfort was amazing as I got a free upgrade to the suite. 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, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

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.
