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.

1. 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.

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!

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.
