Felt dated and pretty worn out but clean and perfectly adequate for 1 night. For the price next to a major airport I couldn’t really complain.

Our best visit so far

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Thistle and by far the best. We stayed in room 672 which is a suite and was huge, with 2 separate rooms and decent bathrooms. We ate in the bar but didn't go for the breakfast. And of course, the viewing area for the airport was fully open allowing us to spot planes, which is why we visited the hotel

The stay was ok. We had to talk a lot through the very long corridors to get to the room (they were also cold), we asked for a baby cot which took ~1 hour to get (they were looking for it). Staff was friendly and nice. Breakfast was ok.

Tired but mostly good

My room still had an empty wine bottle by the bed from the guest before, the bathroom door was 2cm from the toilet and was very small. The bed was clean and comfy This hotel never has plugs by the bed Service is amazing Food crazy expensive but tastes good
