The one defect of the Thistle is the lack of elevator/lift, so if one's room is on the upper floor of their two storey building, one must schlep one's suitcase up the stairs. The staff at reception are accomodating when possible and provide a lower floor room when it is available.

Old Hotel with Poor Hospitality

Old Hotel with Poor Hospitality The hotel felt old and outdated. The room was small and in a strange location within the property. Breakfast was disappointing, and overall hospitality was lacking, staff didn’t seem welcoming or helpful. Wouldn’t stay here again.
