The Hotel itself is fine. However, charging £13 for WIFI access for 24 hours is ridiculous. WIFI should be free, as it is in other hotel groups.

The hotel had a lovely reception

The hotel had a lovely reception / entrance. Very nice bar. We didn't eat at the hotel. The room was an executive double - 2 x double beds for 4 adults. Plenty of room to have a drink and relax even with 4 people, plenty mirror space and a separate sink area from the bathroom so ideal for 4 girls sharing! We were allowed to check in early and the check out time is midday. Breakfast wasn't included in the deal we got but we were told we could come to breakfast for a separate amount if we wanted from 7 - 11am. All in all we enjoyed our stay here!

We got a god deal on pricing with

We got a god deal on pricing with [this website] We booked and paid for 3 nights , we left after one night .. On checking out , the reception staff did not even ask why we were leaving early . Room was very shabby , and staff wanted 30 pounds per night to upgrade to a decent room. Not what I expected from a Thistle Hotel.

Good location and good value

We were there for a week long event at the Royal concert Hall, and being in a location that was walking distance from the venue was great. Taxis are also right around the corner if you don't find one at the door, if you want to go further afield. The rooms were not fancy, but comfortable and warm, and the doors which separate the rooms from the lobby area keep noise from the lobby way down. Service was good, and staff was very helpful. The telephone service was difficult for us--for some reason we couldn't get through to the reception desk by phone and had to go downstairs to ask for wake-up calls etc, and we were charged 1 pound each time we tried to make an overseas call, even though we never were able to get through to our number. I don't know what other hotels charge, but I thought that was excessive. Restaurant downstairs was fine and convenient and was able to serve us even when we came in late in the evening when other restaurants were closed. Good value for money--we got a non-refundable internet deal.

This hotel was clean, well located, and staff was helpful. Breakfast was good at the hotel restaurant, but kind of expensive. I would stay here again.
