Unfortunately I booked through the Hotels.com app and I paid more than the basic thistle express room thinking I was getting a bigger bed. Turns out I had the basic single room. As usual. The staff are brilliant. The bed is comfortable. And the rooms are spotless. It won’t stop me staying again. In fact I’ve already booked for Christmas week.

Breakfast was ok ish. Seating was poor. This hotel is very tired and need lot of upgrades. Baths, taps, masticing and much more need replacing, Attention to details on cleaning needs work on! Immigration in and around the hotel makes people feel very unsafe. The smell of weed inside and just outside was very mud apparent!
