This is my second visit to the Thistle and I was very disappointed. I had a tiny room. Everything was minimalist and geared up to saving money - horrible old small towels, third rate toiletries. Even the tea bags were rationed. I couldn't have a second cup of tea in my room. On the first day I reported that the door handle to my room fell on the floor in the corridor and needed repairing. They seemed to know about it already, but by the time I left on the third day, it still had not been repaired. This hotel may have four star facilities, but the basic elements are close to two star.- 11-Jul-2009 A useful hotel if you need to be in the Barbican area. The Health Centre was good.
- 07-Feb-2004 Leisure facilities were excellent. Although not near a bus route or rail station, the free courtesy bus made up for this.- 13-Dec-2003 |
